A lesson from Joe Dirt....

**Jonecy** · 01-30-2009, 12:32 AM

I've been kind of bored tonight (obviously), so I watched Joe Dirt again (great comedy for anyone that hasn't seen it) and was reminded of the current situation around our MBB team when I heard the following quotes......

To Joe Dirt from Radio Host (Dennis Miller):
"You are an underachievement nexus in the universe. It'll always be like this, Joey."

Joe Dirt's Response:
"But you got to keep going.
I won't quit. That's not an option.
You gotta keep on keeping on. Life's
a garden, dig it, make it work for you.
You never give up, man.
That's my philosophy. You hear that?"

-The 1st quote reminded me of some of the nancy's around here claiming most of our players & coaches are not worthy of being in the Big XII and they will never achieve.

-I hope the 2nd quote encompasses our coach's and team's attitudes moving forward. They just need to keep pressing on and good things will come - there's really no other option. As long as they keep working hard and believe in each other, good things will eventually come.

------------------------------------------

I'm just throwin' this quote in for fun - couldn't resist.......

Joe Dirt to Kicking Wing (Joe's Indian buddy who owns a fireworks stand:)
"Come on.... You don't got no ladyfingers,
buzz bottles, snicker bombs...
...church burners, finger blasters, gut
busters, zippedy-doodas, crap flappers?"

Kicking Wing's Response:
No, I don't.

Joe Dirt (again):
You're gonna stand there,
owning a fireworks stand...
...and say you have
no whistling bungholes...
...spleen splitters, whisker biscuits,
honkey lighters, Hüsker Düs - Hüsker don'ts.
Cherry bombs, nipsy dazers, with
or without the scooter stick......or one single
whistling kitty-chaser?

Okay, probably time for bed now that I've posted this masterpiece.

Darn internet anyway.

Great, underrated movie. I watch it every time it comes on FX or whatever it comes on...

You like to see homos naked? Guy likes to see homos naked, that doesn't help me.

All I really like are snakes & sparklers.

My favorite lines:
"It's just an old crapper tank folks!"
"See the peanut, dead giveaway.
That's a space peanut."

Not to hijack the thread...but Lost Dog is underrated as well! Something about Spade...I am sure many are turned off by his sarcasm but I find him to be hilarious! As for Lost Dog...any movie with Sophie Marceau in it...I will stop flipping the channels just to look at her!

Joe Dirt is a pretty fun flick. The scenes with Jamie Pressley are great.

I even hate to admit it, but I thought Dickie Roberts, Former Child Star was pretty good as well.

Hmmm......I'm a huge Spade fan and don't know anything about Lost Dog - I'll have to check that out. Thanks!

I believe you're referring to Lost& Found
Lost & Found (1999/I)

You most likely won't find it under the name Lost Dog. I believe he is talking about Lost and Found.
Lost & Found (1999/I)

Oops...it is actually called "Lost & Found". Sorry about that. It is more of a romantic comedy...but Spade is as sarcastic as ever! Again...with Sophie Marceau in it...that is all I need to enjoy the film.

Spade singing Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show is worth price of admission.
