THE LIST for May.

Last month I added a new feature to my blog: THE LIST. The idea is to provide readers with a random list of quotes from film, television, literature or other great works. It was then your job to determine where these quotes came from: who uttered it and where. The first person to correctly identify all of these quotes would win their choice of a Garretson Wine Company ballcap or t-shirt.

I must say that the response to this contest of sorts was very rewarding. I received entries from as far away as the UK, Japan and Australia. It would appear that many readers of this blog share something in common with its author: an annoying knowledge of truly useless trivia.

So, here it is, this month's installment of THE LIST. They all share one thing in common: a repeated phrase. To make things a bit easier, I've listed these quotes in the chronological order in which they were spoken...oldest to latest:

"Stuck in rut, stuck in a rut..."

"Khartoum...Khartoum."

"The Horror. The Horror."


"Bueller? Bueller?"


"Sure, sure..."


"...for a while, for a while."


Sure...like that helped! I'll give you a hint: five of these quotes come from a different movie, while one is from a television show. That and, seeing as it's April 29th, I'm giving you a few extra days to figure these out. Think you've got the answers? Then email them to me at mrviognier@aol.com. Good Luck!

While you're picking you brain, go pick out some funny at humor-blogs.com.

maybe I am missing the point here but...can this be anything other than Ferris Bueller's day off?

Well, ONE of the six quotes is from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The other five are from OTHER movies. It's your job to determine the sources for ALL six quotes.

Get it?

Oh Lucky Man
Gordon of Khartoum
Apocalypse Now
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Fargo
Jeopardy

Two of those are wild (improbable) guesses. The rest are guesses.
