Right! Sta-Puft! Geez, I'll forget "Shh. Do you smell something?" next.
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I had to explain to my kids the other day that there really was a Sta-Puft Marshmallow Man, that he wasn't just made up for Ghostbusters.
...I didn't know that either.

If I only had a brain...

All is well that ends in pizza.
Actually, I would like to see some proof that there was a pre-existing Sta-Puft brand with the Sta-Puft man. Most cites and wikis say it is fictional.
I have no opinion one way or the other.
It would be nice to be able to point to something tangable.
Off to re-google.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Really? I read an article in Premire where Akroyd was talking about telling the conceptual artist to draw something that looked like a cross between the dough boy and the Michellin man.

Kalshane, that's what I thought, too, but I couldn't recall exactly where I read it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Of course, so were the Spartans and they turned out okay.
If by okay, you mean "all completely dead - but heroically."

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Which, if you were a Spartan, yeah -- they would have said that was okay. Like, second place to winning. ("Mostly dead" for a Spartan was definitely a loss. So, if you gotta be a dead Spartan, go for the completely dead option.)

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...
Phew. I thought I was going to expose my youth by saying that I didn't know there was a real Sta-Puft man.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
With your shield, or on it...
