My cousin and I watched Grease 2 a ridiculous number of times on HBO back in the day. We also watched Pollyanna on the Disney channel many times that summer. Good times.
Oh, no, oh, no! Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord, spare me college boys in love.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Because nothing says "family" like the lyrics to "Greased Lightning".
I would swear I've heard the "pussy wagon" line left in on TV....

sarameg, I've forwarded you info about that house on 38th! It's just a couple of doors down from my friend's place.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Let's also note the lyrics to "Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee."
"Keep that pelvis far from me" indeed.

That's at least a "family friendly" message!
Edit: that line taken literally, not the song, of course.

It's why I always snicker when the family-friendly theatres get all excited about putting on "Grease".

“Not dead yet!”
Grease was actually really fabulous from that standpoint. When I first saw the movie, I was eleven and I loved the costumes and the fun, fifties-style music and a great deal of the sexual innuendo went straight over my head. Four years later, I was in the show and was like, "Who the HELL let me go see this when I was eleven?"
Gotta love the perspectives.

lisah, you are a trip. Actually, the ones I posted were all pretty much ones not really on the list (like the one with the scaryass bathroom and kitchen on Falls. No way would I want to live right on that street. And that poor house had been abused and neglected.)

This Gawker post about the NYTimes article about high schools not being ready for Rent (even an edited version) also links to an article about Grease: [link]

FAQWife is out of town this weekend for a conference, so I plan to enjoy my birthday at home by running around in my underwear, scratching myself and getting drunk.
