Democratic Fic Recs and Cut-Tags

[icarus]

Helllo, friends list.

At least one person has asked me to use a cut-tag for these recs when I put them up. I respected that and did so. Then another asked 'do we have to?'

Hmm.

Now it is standard to not use cut-tags for recs, but I did put up three looooooong posts of them in one day. I'd also rather not use the cut-tag (it sort of defeats the purpose of recs), but I'd also rather not annoy my friends.

I'll tell you what. If I promise not to post more than one of these per day, can we avoid throwing down the gauntlet and challenging me to a duel? Waddya say?

Hee, that's funnier than Voltaire who said something like he took his coffee and chocolate 'as black as the devil's arse.'

Didn't another girl say something in Airplane about 'I've never done this before ... this is my first time' to every guy she hooked up with on the troubled plane? And there was a line of them, waiting to be with her?

*am trying to remember movie*

And stop calling me Shirley

I'm thinking of the scene where the woman the gentle old lady said, "I speak Jive."

"Have you ever seen a grown man naked?"

Oh ... that's right ... what does the old woman say?

My main memory of that film is a Saturday Night Live parody on the dance floor, and this hilarioussly camp guy running around, who had a really distinctive voice.

The stewardess couldn't understand two black men speaking 'Jive talk' (this was in the black power days mind), and a much older Mrs.-Brady-from-the-Brady-Bunch volunteers translation services and winds up telling them off - "cut me slack, jack! You don' know nuthin' nohow."

I loved the girl scouts in the Saturday Night Fever scene! Obviously the writers based it on my old scout troop.

Oh, and the 'From Here To Eternity' parody!

"We're going to strike at dawn, coming in from the north, under their radar."
"But when will you be back?"
"I can't tell you that. That's classified."

There is that scene where the one lady is panicking, and when the attendant shakes her to get her to calm down, the doctor says, "Let me handle this," and HE starts slapping her viciously, and you pan down the aisle and there are people waiting in line with tire irons, guns, etc...

Brilliant parody flick.
