Ahhh, Steel Magnolias. One of the most quotable chick flicks in film history. One of my oldest friends (who may or may not out herself in the comments) and I have been know to use Olympia Dukakis' classic line, "I love you more than my luggage" when closing e-mails or at the end of phone calls. So, when I got this card in the mail from her, I knew exactly what she was thinking when she saw it in the store.
When we travel, our dogs handle the suitcases. Wait a minute, I don't have a dog and that's not even our luggage!
The sentiment Hallmark thought to print on the inside was a nice thought, and one I agree with completely. However, it was very much overshadowed and outdone by what she wrote beneath it. Especially the part I highlighted:
Unfortunately, this is a deal-breaking point for both of us since we love men with the passion of 10,000 Banderases (ohh, that's a thought to carry me through the day), but if only it was that easy...

They'll take my Gay Card away for saying this, but:
I never liked Steel Magnolias!

I love Steel Magnolias. Especially the part about two pigs fighting under a blanket. I haven't watched it in years, at our house Spam pretty much dictates what we watch and chick flicks usually don't end up on his list of favs.
That's some funny shit right there.
Not a big fan of Steel Magnolias either but that may be credited to never having seen it in English.
That is some great quote and an even better card. ROFL
Have a wonderful weekend.
Love Steel Magnolias, one of my favs. I have to agree the card is adorable the message from your friend? Priceless!
There are many women I feel that way about. It's actually probably a good thing they don't have penises. i couldn't choose. ;-)
You know a penis isn't what it's cracked up to be. Those things hanging under them (that apparently come without a choice) seem to always find themselves in the way of a softball, a flailing 2yr olds arms, friends walking by thinking its funny to give it a flick or Lindsey's knee.
Not to mention the fact that going pee in the morning is extremely difficult.
Wow, Spammon.....lots of penis info to digest!
I can't believe how many commenters don't like Steel Magnolias! One of the best chick flix of all time!
"Honey, I haven't left the house without latex on these thighs since I was 14!"
I LOVE IT!! What a great card, and a great friend.
@Cherry: I don't know who "they" are, but I would think you're allowed at least ONE subversive opinion against stereotype before they show up to take away your gay card. Unless by "they" you meant your awful chemistry prof.
@Linds: If only Steel Magnolias had some kind of droid family, I bet Spammon would be more inclined to watch it.
@Stacey: Isn't it?
@Kat: I can hardly imagine what some of the southern colloquialisms got turned into... I'm sure plenty of the humor was lost in translation!
@Melissa: Me, too on all counts!
@Ree/Hotfessional: It's just further proof that great minds think alike!
@Spammon: You make a good case for being against having one, but I think my friend wasn't thinking of those particular annoyances when she was writing out that card. Maybe Lindsay's knee wouldn't be such a hazard if you wanted to watch chick flicks more often?!
@Troop 542: I'm not going to even touch the "that's what she said" response to your opening sentence.
@Swish: You got that right, sister!
I was eating lunch in San Luis Obispo today, and I swear to God, Annelle's twin was sitting behind my boyfriend. She even had the tortoise-shaped glasses and goofy voice (and Southern-style sunhat). I've never been one to easily mask my emotions, so naturally I gawked at her throughout the entire meal.
Steel Magnolias was, like, the second movie that ever made me cry!
-My colors are blush and bashful.
-Your colors are pink and pink. It looks like someone sprayed the reception hall with Pepto Bismol.
Classic.
A friend and I always tell each other, "Here, have a piece of ass" when doling out cake. Doesn't matter that its not an armadillo groom's cake, or that some deem it to be totally inappropriate at a 1 yr old's bday party.
excellent! found you through your post on surburban bliss. i believe almost everything should be on a t-shirt.
i took a women's study class in college and the professor opened the first day with this comment, "i have been married 3 times and have decided that my biggest problem in life is that i am a heterosexual".
great friend and yes that could be on a t-shirt
