You could do a pole based on the surfing related quotes alone.RaceBannon said:Like its even an option
Charlie don't surf
This film is The Godfather of war films in terms of great quotes. Full Metal Jacket is a ways behind. -
"We train young men to drop fire on people, but their commanders won't allow them to write "fuck" on their airplanes because it's obscene!"
The message played from the choppers about the stolen surf board... "It was a good board. You know how hard it is to find a board you like." The gross misallocation of military resources made me laugh. -

The scene with the choppers looking for the missing board is only in the uncut, redux version which is like 4 hrs long.PurpleJ said:"We train young men to drop fire on people, but their commanders won't allow them to write "fuck" on their airplanes because it's obscene!"

Write inThey lined us all up in front of a hundred yards of prime rib -magnificent meat, beautifully marbled.. Then they started throwing it in these big cauldrons, all of it -- boiling. I looked in, an' it was turning gray.

Write inEither:
"Someday this war is gonna end" (in a deep, mournful tone)
Or
"Charlie don't surf"
Either way Robert Duvall owns that movie and I say so with all due respect as it's one of my favorites. -

I thought the long director cut was interesting, but if they had released that in 1979, the film would have plummeted. Still, you see more character development. Even so, it is still a long movie with the original, and never really lets you rest. When I saw it the first time, I was underage in an R rated movie, the old Town Theatre downtown. Some of the really deep stuff in the end of the movie I didn't understand then, but do now more.YellowSnow said:

I read Heart of Darkness for HS English, as a junior I think, and it didn't click with me at all. It was one of those reads where I had to force it and it was all mechanical...nothing really sticking and I remember pulling off only a shaky B or C on the test. The funny thing was that I had already seen the movie and, even after reading the book and taking the test, didn't realize it was the same story. The teacher didn't tell us until after. Guess they we're both a little over my head at that age.YellowSnow said:“The horror! The horror!” - Joseph Conrad

They were going to make me a major for this and I wasn't even in their fucking army anymore

You don't judge the colonelYou're looking at the heads. Sometimes.... he goes too far. He's the first one to admit it.

Kurtz got off the boat -- split from the whole fucking program.
HH is not for sermon seekers. Your church group potluck on Wednsday is perfect for that. Dawgman conducts sermons by Kim in every thread... You know that, and your wifey prefers your interweb history shows that as she checks it daily.biak1 said:

Like the NFL, Sundays are a bummer . Church is boring i get that...but keep it off this forum. As far as ass fucking is concerned, keep trying. She'll give in eventually. But when she does dont bury it. Start with the head the 1st time. Tease her with an inch at a time.. Pretty soon she'll be grabbing your hips and sinking that buddy of yours. Dont dump in there though, itll be the last time. I know its tempting, but unload on her back. Otherwise youre cooking dinner for 3 days -

I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. This is my dream; this is my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor, and surviving.
