I randomly quote odd things that most people I know don't get or understand. I am pretty sure I have quoted parts of this commercial at some point in my life. I know for a fact that at least once a year that catchy "get your skis shined up" jingle STILL pops into my head.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who quotes obscure stuff that no one else gets. Just ask my wife, she's always looking at me funny. Of course that may have nothing to do with what I said...

its mostly a guy thing. In the ten years we've been together I don't think I've ever heard my wife recite any line from any movie...I can still recall half the dialogue from "Hot Dog: The Movie" and I haven't seen it for nearly 20 years.

Take a sniff, pull it out.
The taste is going to move you when you pop it in your mouth.

What's that all about?

I quote movies all the time. Not a guy thing.

I guess I should have bolded the mostly part huh. You have some guy dna in you that a lot of other women dont...at least that's my observation from a couple of years on here...just the fact that you post in here regularly speaks to that. None of my skiing friends wives (all of them skiers themselves) would ever post on a ski forum Women outnumber men slightly overall, yet on here I'd guess its 90% guys...you, TC and a few others are a pretty small minority. Of all the women I know and spend time with on a regular basis, only my sister in law quotes movie lines regularly...pretty much every guy I know does it on a regular basis....so, in my experience, its mostly a guy thing. For any of you guys who DONT do it, pelase notice the qualifier before "every"

"I'm not dead yet!"

"We are the Knights who say... NI."

But seriously, are those actual LINE skis in the juicy fruit commercial????

not possible...Line wasn't even around then...and for the first few years Line existed it was a fruit boot (aka snowblades) company, they didn't even make skis in the beginning.
"you must bring us a shrubbery!"

:lol: Just not a girly-girl is all. I think the same can be said about the other women who regularly post on here--hence the lack of them. I'd say it's probably closer to 98% male/2% female here for regular posters. In any case, I always used to hang with the guys so this is no different for me.
