For those outside the UK, the Daily Mail is a newspaper which regularly rages against falling educational standards. A special mention to Sarah Palin who invented a new word “refudiate”; the usage suggests she meant repudiate.

“Enormity” means “extreme evil”, but it’s often used to mean “enormousness”. US President, George HW Bush missed this one when he said after being elected that he “Couldn’t believe the enormity of the situation.” A perfect example of irony (which, in the context I have just used it, is correct).
I think using "refute" to mean only "disprove with evidence" seems rather strict and prescriptive. Might as well use only the original meaning of "decimate," for example.

"If I'm not back by dawn, call the president!"

Jack Burton is probably my all-time favorite movie character and he easily has the best lines of any movie character ever. Every single one is pure gold.

Yes. I was looking for the screenplay online last night but could only find the very first version which was a bit different from the film. So those 10 are from memory.

The quote you added definitely makes it in and something else gets bumped. Seriously his lines in that movie are so great it's unbelievable. Even when he's on the phone in the background talking to his truck insurance company every line is a scene-stealer.

Escape from New York was downgraded (perhaps unfairly) because I can't think about it without thinking of Escape from LA.

What about Overboard and Best of Times? Dark Blue was good, too.

Every movie Kurt Russell has done has been good.

I like the no titles and trying to guess. But where's Wind Cried Mary and Hey Joe on ladyland's list?

Top 10 ways to rattle Kudzudemon:

10) Tell him he's a bad writer
9) Tell him "nobody is going to read that giant wall of text."
8) Remind him of how much money Led Zeppelin has made
7) Remind him of how many albums Led Zeppelin has sold
6) Remind him that the three surviving sexagenarians were recently offered $600 Million to go on world tour and they declined
5) Say something like "Willie Dixon sucked breaux" (mis-spell bro)
4) Just say something like "Man, you sound MAD right now."
3) Tell him you took his mom out for a steak dinner and then never returned her calls.
2) Text him Jimmy Page's penis.
1) Remind him that their one-off concert in 2007 at the O2 arena in London produced a world-record twenty million person demand for tickets.

This is all in good fun.

I disagree completely.


Lists much better w/o titles. If you can't figure it out, you don't deserve to know.

For some odd reason the simple fact that the Marshall Tucker Band was mentioned in this thread makes it all worthwhile. One very under appreciated band of wide musical diversity. Kudos to Kudzu.
