You want an easy definition of irony? The Simple Minds song "Don't You Forget About Me" was featured in The Breakfast Club. A movie whose stars are either dead, washed up, or in the case of Anthony Michael Hall, facing prison time.

That's what makes you so amazing, Ghost19!
My first was a 77 Volare four door sedan in green (yikes!) - my dear old Dad picked it out for me and I went to pick it up, then paid him 2000 bucks for it (gradually at 200 bucks a month for 10 months)
Might not have been very sexy but it was like a tank! Slant six engine with really great upholstery - a good learner car - if I backed up into a cement lamplight base there was not even a scratch
The slant 6 is a legend! I love my stupid Ford wagon, but a Dodge Dart with a slant 6 would blow away the highly over-rated Mustang no question.
Jezus this guy is charming!!!
Amazingly dense. Yes ma'am, you are completely correct.
Bobbie Pins./bobbie pins. They are called in Australia. My grandmother ran a boarding house and one of the tenants (Cecil, who was in World War One, and had a wooden leg) this was around 1970. He used to cut up apples and put salt on them and used to tell me to shut up if I was making noise because he was watching television sometimes in the main living room. I can't remember where my mother worked during WW2, she would have been 18 in 1945. She worked at Concord Repatriation Hospital after the war. She said she saw Chips Rafferty at the hospital.I thought they called them "Kirby grips" in Australia/New Zealand?
My Mom worked in a munitions factory for a while when she was still in Scotland, during the war;
I tend to dumb down a conversation gangsta'. I'm amazed all you smart people even let me dwell here.....Oh shucks, geez, thanks for that.

I forgot to mention earlier Charms, completely off topic, but I guess this is the thread for that. This is mainly a compliment to your Lone Star State. Over the years, I traveled to Texas many, many times for all manner of training. Weapons, intel, crime scene, you name it. EVERYONE both LE and civilian I dealt with in any capacity in Texas and by that I mean instructors, classmates, support personnel, it didn't matter, everyone we encountered over the years no matter what part of Texas we were in were the most professional and courteous people I've ever had the honor of meeting. We had detectives, patrol officers, instructors, take us to dinner, hang out with us after the classes, invite us back to their police stations for tours. I made a lot of lasting contacts over the years and on the rare occasions I needed to reach out to someone in one of those jurisdictions professionally later on down the line, I was never disappointed at the amount of professional courtesy I received. The hospitality displayed by anyone and everyone we dealt with in Texas was overwhelming, so I just wanted to pass that on to you ma'am.
Molly Ringwald is still going along. I heard she's a friendly person.
Conner B, I am shocked at you! Which ones are dead?!!!!!!!!! Y'know some years back Entertainment Tonite did a special weekend hour-long St. Elmos Fire reexamination. My wife & then baby was out of town, and I swear, if I hadn't had a good group of internet friends at that time to 'talk me down', g-d knows what might have happened. I was totally freaking out!
Listen, AMH is not going to prison. Community Service! The rest are fine. They're not getting big roles anymore. Whooptysh*t! They are all capable of carrying a crummy lifetime movie if need be. If they keep it together there's always a chance they'll get a good shot at a major film. Judd Nelson needs shave his 1990's goatee! Molly Ringwald has held up well. Still pretty. Good for her -- probably not an easy thing to do! Ally Sheedy? Who knows?
I checked out DeLillo's White Noise from the library once but got sick before I could make any real headway.
Yeah, I'm not sure what Dom Deluise has to do with any of this, but okay Creed, whatever you say.
Okay Connor! If you are not too busy, I'd like a list of all the 'Breakfast Club' stars who are dead. Do not hold back to spare my feelings. Just briefly list every actor or actress from The Breakfast Club who are currently not among the living. It should not take long. Oh sh-t, are they all dead?!!
Is this Ally Sheedy? What happened? Car crash? Black Friday stampede?

I suppose this is as good a place as any to remind folks that a brand spanking new release of Uncle Stevie's and the late, great Berni Wrightson's classic Creepshow comic is coming our way on May 9th. Got my copy pre-ordered, yer bugger. Just thirteen bones and some change gets ya 64 pages of killer art and story. And meteor $#!T.

I must say I'm very flattered! Thank you, Ghost. Thank you very much! I'm so pleased you met such fine people in my home state.
How can you tell it's Springtime in Maine?
