Michele is pontificating on the importance of Airplane! to western civilization on the 25th anniversary of it's release. She's right too. Airplane is just so amazingly quotable. I can remember sitting around at the bus stop on a foggy morning and having someone say "the fog is getting thicker" someone would immediately bust out "and Leon is getting larger..."
Being a bit of klutz, I also use "I have a drinking problem..." a lot. Usually after the fact.
I remember when that whole Ebonics scandal was going down "Excuse me I'm fluent in Jive..." came up a lot too.
The most vicious gag is "what do you make of this?" I have to stiffen up so I don't spit out "Well it could be a hat or a broach or a pterydactyl..."
All this is the fault of one man: Joe Carr. He would spit out Airplane references incessantly during trips for Science Olympiad and Scott's Hi-Q. Darn him.
