I remember it a different way, Mr. K. And there's no way to prove it. It's like being in the Twilight Zone. I know I'm not crazy. (no comments please from others out there on that last sentence)

Why don't you watch the film. And listen carefully to what the people are saying.

I've watched films twice, and gotten different impressions of what people said.

Chartreuse was always yellowish green. you're confusing chartreuse with burgandy.

I agree with you and I also got that right.

The whole jingle was: "everybody doesn't like something...but NO body doesn't like Sara Lee".

In fact they did little sketches in their ads showing folks with pet peeves, but none of the folks objected to stuff baked by Sara Lee. So the jingle fitted into the theme of vignettes in the ads.

But they might have used alternated slogans in different years, and might also have used "nobody does it like Sara Lee".

But I NEVER thought of it as "nobody does it like Sara Lee", and always as "nobody doesn't like Sara Lee".

You're not getting it. There's no way to check it - the film says "was" now.

I just asked my Ma about the Snow White thing and the Berenstein Bears thing and she can't believe it either. It's like a supernatural phenomenon.

OK, forget the color. I never used that word anyway. But you have to admit the other stuff is weird. And I remember Gomer Pyle dying of throat cancer. Idk what to think anymore.

Well, we're nuts supposedly.

I didn't know the Star Wars Darth Vader one. Does anyone else?

OMG!

Gaslight time!

I just googled "Interview With A Vampire", and "Sex In the City".

They dont exist! Google serves you the "the" version of former, and the "and" version of the other! And nothing else.

Okay, I would have bet less money on the latter ( it MIGHT have been "and" and not "in" the city).It might be a male bias effecting my memory (ya know- thinking of sex as being "in" something if ya get my drift). But I would have bet a large sum of money that it was "A" Vampire, which makes more sense anyway.

But the internet only has "Interview with THE Vampire".

I need a drink!

Okay...every since I was a teen in the late sixties Ive read that "Sherlock Holmes never said 'elementary my dear Watson'", and that Jimmy Cagney never said "You dirty rat", and now theyre saying that Capt. Kirk never said "beam me up Scotty". In the group memory certain things get collapsed to their essence, so we all think Sherlock said "elementary...." because thats kinda the essence of that character. But...I KNOW it was Interview with +A+ vampire.

I don't think all this really matters.

I don't see anything eerie about people changing catchphrases around to suit their own purposes. It's inevitable.

So what if Captain Kirk never said "Beam me up, Scotty"? He said something similar...you get the drift. People just thought that Kirk SHOULD have said it.

Same with the Box of Chocolates thing.

You're not getting it. It means that you cannot rely on anything being reality. You can't rely on your past memories.


What really upset me was this quote in the Bible has been changed.

"the lion shall lay down with the lamb… (The Lion is now The Wolf)"

I used to post on a forum with a black background and picked a bright greenish color so it would stand out/be easy to read. The name of the color was listed as chartreuse, so that is a true thing. :lol:

Edit: I Googled it to be absolutely sure, and apparently, chartreuse is a type of liquor. :D

No! This is wrong! WAS is past-tensed. The next sentence should read "You never Knew what YOU WERE going to get."

I know he said IS. Nope. I'm not nuts.
