Subject: RE: BS: Famous last words From: Jack Campin Date: 22 Nov 19 - 09:38 AM I would like you all to dance on my grave Which reminds me of what has to be the ultimate bad movie review. Boris Vian, author of "J'Irai Cracher Sur Vos Tombes", went to see the American film made from it, "I Will Spit On Your Grave". He didn't like it very much and died of a heart attack in his seat. |

Subject: RE: BS: Famous last words From: heric Date: 03 Mar 05 - 08:19 PM Of course I live to tell the tale, but when my horse did a full on summersault on a steep granite rubble bank, 10,000 feet up into the Ansel Adams wilderness, I thought long and hard as we sped forward: "If I become a quad, my wife is going to be SO pissed." |

Subject: RE: BS: Famous last words From: GUEST,John Gray in Oz Date: 01 Mar 05 - 07:25 AM From Ned Kelly, Australia's famous bushranger, just before he was hung ; "tell them I died game". And to me, from our destroyers Engineering Officer just before I was put ashore in Danang to fly to Saigon and then back to Oz ; "don't worry - its all organised". The Americans then put me on a plane to Phu Bai where they lost me for 2 weeks and I was being shot at. Whenever I hear, don't worry - its all organised, I twitch a little. JG/FME |

Subject: RE: BS: Famous last words From: rumanci Date: 28 Feb 05 - 05:08 PM yes ...........Jacqui's right mind you I have heard somebody quite recently say them *g* |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Famous last words From: jacqui.c Date: 28 Feb 05 - 05:05 PM The memory is alittle shaky but I think that it was at the end of the film when Clark Gable says "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn". Not the last words in the film - those are Scarlett's -"tomorrow is another day". |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Famous last words From: Peace Date: 28 Feb 05 - 03:46 PM In GWTW, did anyone actually say, "Frankly, Scarlett . . . "? |

Subject: RE: BS: Famous last words From: Bob Hitchcock Date: 28 Feb 05 - 03:18 PM Liz the Squeak, you are correct. The quote was to be placed on Spike Milligans headstone, however a fight ensued within his family and the last I heard no inscription has been made. It's a bit like one I read about some time ago which read - "She always said her feet were killing her, I guess she was right" Bob |

Subject: RE: BS: Famous last words From: Peace Date: 23 Feb 05 - 03:37 PM "Oh, yeah?" Last thing I remember after saying that was that. I went into a spin backkick and blocked a really good roundkick with the side of my head. |

Subject: RE: BS: Famous last words From: GUEST,chip2447 Date: 23 Feb 05 - 12:31 AM While not quite last words, they seem to very appropriate to this thread. This afternoon, while napping on the couch my 5 year old niece approached with 2 pieces of lathing strips (18"x1"x1/4"). Now said niece is very keen about swords and sword fighting, and is rather zealous in her attempts to get uncle Chip to teach her more. She woke me when she placed one of her "swords" in my hands. Waving her other sword around, she looked at me, sans glasses, and a bit grumpy from having my afternoon nap disturbed, then she looked back at her sword, calmly looked back at me and removed the lathing strip from my hand. I heard her say as she headed for the kitchen for a snack... "Probably not a very good idea." Chip2447 (not grumpy after that) |

Subject: RE: BS: Famous last words From: Ebbie Date: 21 Feb 05 - 10:15 PM Susu's Hubby, I don't get the implication of your remark of 2:06. I presume you are referring to Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend. Please keep in mind that Nicole was no longer Simpson's wife, no matter how often she has been called "his wife"; she was not cheating on him; they were divorced. |
