Last night was 23 cent pizza night at Papa John’s in the Cleveland area, the result of the Pappy (what we used to call said pizza place in college, when we ate there roughly three times a week) taunting LeBron James with “Crybaby” t-shirts at a playoff game. It seems as though everything went fairly well, but we do have to take exception with one quote from Tim North, one of Papa John’s vice presidents:

“We’re certainly a bit surprised about how darn popular this is.”

Sir, you were offering 23 cent pizzas for one day during an economic recession. If we lived in Cleveland, we might have camped out overnight. If anything, you should be surprised there were no deaths by trampling. (Photo by Ed Suba, AP via Akron Beacon-Journal).

OK, now on to the movie quotes. These are all edited quotes from movies that are fantastic to watch on cable TV because of the ridiculous job of taking out the swear words. We can only find/think of seven specific examples (please add more in the comments if you can). And please, do not put the original quotes in the comments. We’ll start off easy:

1. Son of a buck, Godfather, what have they done to you!

2. Who do you think I am, Christopher Columbo?

3. You racist melon father!

4. Yippee Ki-Yay Mister Falcon!

5. This is what happens when you meet a stranger in the Alps.

6. Where’d you get the beauty scar, tough guy, eating pineapple?

7. Everything was fine with our system until the power grid was shut off by Wally Wick here.

Fasola-link! For Stu, he says.

Coming next: another very special RandBall Q&A.
