"So, I was watching Boogie Nights the other evening and was quite surprised at the last scene...but not for the reason most people are surprised. Marky Mark is standing at the mirror getting himself all pumped up to go make some porn. I can't remember if this is before or after he pulls out his shlong for everyone to see, but at some point he says "I'm a star, I'm a star, I'm a fu*$ing star!"  hum...I thought that was interesting... "   -Biscuit

"Hey, do you smell smoke?" -Carol

"Yeah, I wonder where it's from." -Helen

3 minutes later..."You know what, I think it's us!" -Carol.
