Remember That Song – 4/30/19

Can you name the artist and song:

I’m just the average guy
I fooled around a little on the side
Never thought it would amount to much
Never met a girl whose love was so tough


Last Song: “Something About You” by Level 42 from the album World Machine (1986)

Great job Adora (@Adora2000), Karen (@karbabb), Colleen (@ColleenIrishRo1), and Cadman Homes (@cadmanhomes)!!!

But making mistakes is a part of life’s imperfection
Born of the years
Is it so wrong to be human after all?

Quote of the Day: Valley Girl

20120125_valleygirl_jpg_627x325_crop_upscale_q85

Randy: Where do you work?

Julie Richman: At my parents’ store.

Randy: What do they sell?

Julie Richman: Health foods.

Randy: That’s cool.

Julie Richman: Like, it’s not cool at all! Like, it’s all this stuff that tastes like nothing and it’s supposed to be so good for you. Why couldn’t they, like, open a Pizza Hut or something?

Quote of the Day: The Toy

the-toy-1982-film-6fb0f2f8-3cea-433c-9d75-e6802a43e83-resize-750

Jack Brown: Why me? Of all the stuff in the store, why did you pick me?

Eric Bates: You made me laugh. I wanted a friend who made me laugh.

Jack Brown: So of all the toys in the store you wanted a friend. If you want a friend, you don’t buy a friend, Eric, you earn a friend through love and trust and respect.

Eric Bates: Come see my train!

Jack Brown: You’re not listening to me, Eric, you don’t order your friends around, you ask them.

Eric Bates: Oh. You wanna come see my train, friend?

Jack Brown: No.

[They hug]

Jack Brown: [Happily] I’m gonna kill you.

Eric Bates: I love you, Jack.
