I'm going to go really obscure here for the cheesy movie, but if you ever have the chance to see it you'll find yourself having to watch it to the end: Fast Walking starring James Woods. Check out this link for a plot summary:

And for the kids movie, I liked Toy Story but I thought Toy Story 2 was actually better. There's romance and a sly dig against toy collectors plus some very funny 'outtakes' at the end.

And somebody needs to start a board hockey thread. I'll take care of that.

What kind of liquor did Lt. Dan send Forrest out for when he was out of booze?

How many boats did Forrest have in his fleet named Jenny?

What kind of a party did Forrest and Jenny attend when they spent the night in their nation's capital?

What kind of material was Lt. Dan's "Magic Legs" made out of?

What was Forrest's favorite book?

What kind of mower did Forrest use to cut the grass at the local football field and how much did they pay him?

What number did Forrest wear at Alabama?

What magazine did Jenny appear in with her college sweater?

Who did Forrest say he had more money than?

What did Forrest tell Jenny he did to win his Medal of Honor?

What's really sad is that I can answer all but one of these questions.

Ref which one stumped you?

What's even worse is all those came off the top of my head and I stopped with just those I had many more. Here's some more.

How many and what kind of sodas did Forrest drink before he met JFK?

What did the school principal say to Forrest's mother during his visit to Gump House?

What brand and model of shoes did Forrest wear when he went on his run?

Who did Forrest appear with on the Dick Caveat show?

Who said he had big gums?

How much money did Forrest receive for his million dollar wound?

What "fruit company" did Lt. Dan invest in?

What symbol did the doctor say Forrest's spine was shaped like?

What law did Forrest and Jenny break during the peace rally?

Where was Forrest staying when he called the front desk to complain about lights keeping him awake?

How many presidents did Forrest meet?

What vegetables were Forrest and Jenny like when they were together?

I couldn't remember Forrest's number when he played football. Yeah, it is one of those movies that if it is on TV, I'll watch it just about everytime.

3. Nike
4. John Lennon
5. Bubba Benjamin Buford Blue
6. "The government must keep all that money cause I didn't see a nickel of it"
7. Apple Computers
8. A question mark.
9. Probably trespassing on a national monument.
10. Was Watergate a hotel, I know that's what it involved.
11. I believe there was one in college during the desegregation, one for his all-american, and then also when he got shot in the rear for his medal of honor.
12. Peas and carrots

Wasn't he #44? Its only a guess though.

Undercover Hockey Lover · Thu Sep 27, 2007 3:12 pm

Excellent. He wore number 44 and they were Nike Cortez. I had a new pair in the box that didn't fit at my folks from waaay back when the kid happened upon them before they started making the model again; was the coolest kid in school until he blew out the toe in about a month. The only flaw those things had. I'll give you panting....it was more of an grunting Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh........I loved it when Forrest mocked him on his way out.

Packerboy can correct me as he's the local law expert but I think it is against the law to go into the Reflecting Pool of the Washington Monument so yes you were correct there too. You get an A for the day.

See, who says too much tv is bad for you, it got me an A. I shall print that message off and put it on the fridge so my wife and daughter can be proud of me.

haha, not only did I do Forrest Gump trivia yesterday, but low and behold, what movie do you think was on TNT last night and wouldn't you know it, I found myself watching it yet again.

packerboy · Post by **packerboy** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 8:49 am

I think its stupid to watch a movie so many times..............but then again, stupid is what stupid does.

Yeah, that makes us almost as bad as coaches, but still not nearly as bad as fans.

OK ....theref, since you've divulged your youth.......what in the heck is a guy like you watching Forrest that many times for.

And no I won't race you guys, unless it's finishing a 12oz beer which I know I can compete....

theref · Post by **theref** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 10:42 am

Hey, just like the movie I guess. Just very interesting how many different things he had a hand in. It would be crazy if there was actually somebody like that. Yeah, I'm not a big beer drinker, so you'd probably whoop my butt at that. I like my whiskey and my rum a little too much. It's the only thing that makes the abuse of a referee go away.

Or explains some of them calls

Could be, but I always like to think on tournament weekends that the reason I get some much hassel is because the parents have been in their rooms drinking all day. But hey, I know what I'm doing and they are all wrong anyway, so they can kiss my butt. I get the final say anyway.

Don't agitate the referee, he may be a zebra, but he can still bite.

What Company record did Pfc Gump set?

What was Gumps rank at discharge?

theref · Post by **theref** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 10:55 am

You got me on his rank, but I thought it was Private first class though.

He holds the company record for disassembling his weapon.
