My New Catch Phrase

The other night I found myself watching ‘Jackie Brown’ on TV. As this was regular-ass (commercial) TV, all of the profanity was dubbed over, with predictably hilarious results. One scene in particular grabbed my attention. Briefly, Samuel L. Jackson’s character, ‘Ordell Robbie’ angrily says; “Oh, I know who my friends are, melon fever.”
He called the man “Melon fever“! I’m going to start using that!
“Hey, melon fever, watch where you’re going!”
“What are you honkin’ at, melon fever?”
It just has so many practical applications.
by Steve Earle? It has kind of a “Country Joe and the Fish” thing going.
My middle boy and I were watching Blade one night on TV. Not long after he commented that he didn’t think it deserved an “R” rating he noticed the characters said “freakin’” a lot. I pointed out that in the theater “freakin’” had been the “f” word. He then thought the “R” rating made some sense.
