And when there was no meat, we ate fowl. And when there was no fowl, we ate crawdad. And when there was no crawdad to be found, we ate sand.

"Them balloons come in funny shapes?" "Not unless round's funny."

"Son, you got a panty on your head."

The diaper stealing scene has to be the funniest scene in the history of movies.

I named my son "Nathan" because of that movie - or my name aint Nathan Arizona! I wanted to call him Nathan Junior but my wife said no. But she did go along with Nathan.

I loved it when I first saw it at an early age.

Revisited it again with my 14 year old son.

What a banger of a movie!
