It has been eerily silent today. I suppose it could partly be because all of the noisiest were subdued in the wonderful world of mandatory free daycare from eight to three. Then top it off with it being the second day of elementary, the excitement factor hit it's buzzkill with a 6:45 a.m. wakeup call.
Primary anticipation is over, taco worship is waning ... everybody seems drained. So much so, that within a group of people everybody went completely silent and just listened to the mournful tsunami sirens ... and not one uttered the obligitory "It's Wednesday, 2 o'clock."
A good day for a few sturdy swigs and random channel surfing, I think I'll take myself up on that.
(**This used to be kid one's favorite movie quote. You win the super secret prize if you name the movie, and provide one other poignant phrase from the flick**).

Yeah, what was up with those sirens today? I timed them at over 4 minutes.... I was thinking that anything over 2 was a legitimate emergency and was preparing to beat a hasty exit from my coal mine on the waterfront....
Saving Private Ryan?

Oops! One other poignant phrase... "What's FUBAR?" "Oh, it's German." (chuckles) "Yeah." "Never heard of that." I thought this scene was hilarious. I googled it to get the quote verbatum. Is that cheating? That was fun.
Ish - The sirens from here repeated a few extra times, but not out of the ordinary. The guy that flips all the switches must have got distracted reading the KoKon. Begs for the other obligatory comment "dude, what would happen if there was a tsunami at 2 on Wednesday..."
McClusky - it's only cheating if you get it right. Hint: kid one is still not allowed to watch anything beyond a supervised PG-13.
Okay so I totally cheated now, out of curiosity of course. Good thing I'm not a cat. Not to ruin it for others, but... Does it start with a SH and end with an EK?
But you forgot the quote again. :-P
"Do you think he's maybe compensating for something?"
or
"Oh, no, no... dead broad OFF the table."
