May's List: We've a Winner! And The List for June.

Congratulations to Annika Anderson of Des Moines, Iowa! She correctly identified all of the quotes from this month's List. For those of you who were playing along, here are the correct answers:


"Stuck in rut, stuck in a rut..." The Third City Gent (Eric Idle) in the sketch, episode 24 of Monty Python's Flying Circus, 1970.







"Khartoum...Khartoum." Jack Woltz (John Marley) to Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall) in The Godfather, 1972.






"The Horror. The Horror." Colonel Walter E. Kurtz (Marlon Brando) in Apocalypse Now, 1979.






"Bueller? Bueller?" The Economics' Teacher (Ben Stein) to his class in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, 1986








"Sure, sure..." Sidney J. Mussburger (Paul Newman) in The Hudsucker Proxy, 1994.










"...for a while, for a while." Bob Destepello (Michael Cudlitz) to Martin Blank (John Cusack) in Grosse Pointe Blank, 1997.




It would appear that there's very little to do in Iowa except bone up on obscure trivia. Good on ya, Annika! A Garretson Wine t-shirt and hat is coming your way soon! And judging by the sparsity of entries - and the fact that Annika's was the only correct entry - I guess this last rendition of The List was a bit too tough/obscure for most readers. Might I suggest moving to Des Moines?

I think that The List for June will be a tad bit easier for you...if you know your hellish references. Here is is:

"The Road to Hell is Paved With Good Intentions"

"The Road to Hell is Paved With Adverbs."

"The Road to Hell is Paved with Un-bought Stuffed Dogs."

"The Safest Road to Hell is the Gradual One..."

"We're on the Highway to Hell!"

Best of luck!

Pausing to raise a glass in memory of Paul Newman (who spoke one of the lines featured in this "List")... a legendary actor and a great man. The world is a better place due to his having lived in it.

Here's to a life well lived.
