What are your favorite movie & TV quotes of the 80's?

Q. I 'm going to be having an 80's theme party for my 30th birthday on Saturday. I decided that I'm going to have some famous or memorable TV and movie quotes from the 80's on the walls. I have like 3 memorable quotes already but I need more.

What are some of your favorite movie and TV quotes from the 80's?

A. "Last night, Darth Vader came down from planet Vulcan, and told me that if I didn't take Lorraine to the dance, he'd melt my brain."
~ George McFly (Back to the Future - 1985)

“He was always a rather stupidly optimistic man. I mean, I’m afraid it came as a great shock to him when he died.”
~ Mrs. White (Clue - 1985)

"Fine? We just cut up our girlfriend with a chainsaw. Does that sound fine to you?"
~ Ash’s mirrored reflection (Evil Dead II - 1987)

But my all time fave 80's movie quote is from Christmas Vacation (1987)..."Hey! If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shlt he is! Hallelujah! Holy shlt! Where's the Tylenol?"
~ Clark Griswold


But here's a list of the classics http://www.liketotally80s.com/80s-movie-quotes.html

How do I throw a 30th Birthday Party for my single friend?

Q. My single girlfriend is turn 30 this year. Does anyone have an clever ideas for decorations or a theme?

A. I'm single and also turning 30 this year. Hey, maybe you're my friend and this party is for me! ha! just kidding... ;)

If she's anything like me, and dreads turning 30, the last thing I want is to have people rubbing my new age-bracket in my face. Who wants to be reminded of how old they are getting when they're still single? So forego any "Over-the-Hill" type of decorations, or anything referring to "Old Maid" (I absolutely HATE that term!!!) Here are some parties that she may like:

-Honestly, I think a dinner party with her closest friends would be the best. Make reservations at her favorite restaurant and make a fun night of it. Take pictures!
-If she hates the thought of turning 30, do a "Happy 1st Anniversary of turning 29" party. Have 29 pink candles and 1 white candle decorating a white-frosted cake.
-Decorate the party like the 70's since that was the year she was born and have everyone wear 70's attire and play 70's music. Have 70's style posters decorating the room and maybe a history board of pictures of her growing through the years.
-Or if she's a fan of the 80's, throw an 80's style party, same idea as the 70's version...
-Or perhaps if she's a movie buff, have a party of "Big Movie Hits of the Last Three Decades". Have everyone dress up as their favorite movie character over the last 30 years.
-Maybe have people bring inexpensive gifts in thirty's. Thirty candy bars, thirty birthday cards about turning 30, a mixed CD with 30 songs on it, etc. Let your guests be the creative ones too.
-Murder mystery parties are awesome.
-Perhaps if you and her close friends can afford it, go on a road trip somewhere and celebrate. Vegas, Atlantic City, etc.

I don't suggest strippers or strip clubs. To me, that's fun in your early 20's. Turning 30 is a big step and the party shouldn't be reduced to something silly, unless she would like that...? *shrug*

***The most important part: Whatever you decide to do, invite men and women. If any of your guests have any potentional, great single men, bring them along! The more the single men, the merrier, right? ;)

Good luck! I'm sure she (and everyone else) will have a blast! And how thoughtful of you to do this for her! :)

What gift should I give my only sister for her 40th B'day?

Q. I want a keepsake, but short of cash..about $100. I was also thinking "Candy that you grew up with" it comes in a box with a Year of Birth Card and maybe a gift certificate. I need to mail it..she is in another state as well. Ideas please!

A. Mailing candy may not be the best idea, since it is summer and candy tends to melt in heat.

An interesting idea is a newspaper from the day she was born.

I got one from the day I was born in the same city...It is very cool to have around.

Something I've done before that is kind of silly is to buy 40 of a bunch of items. We did this for my grandmother's 80th birthday. We gave her 80 band-aids, a package of 80 envelopes, 80 coffee pods, etc. So everything she opened either had the number 80 on it, or there were 80 of them. She had a great laugh. It does take some time wondering the aisles of Target and Wal-mart and a little planning, but it is generally inexpensive. You could include a $40 gift card to her favorite store or restaurant with the money you save. She won't forget it, because it is so funny to open all of those little things, it makes a great memory.

Another option is to send 40 of her favorite flower, like 40 roses, irises, etc. This might be nice because people tend to be a little on the mean side when someone turns 40.

Whats a good birthday idea for my guy friend?

Q. Okay so me and my sister already got him something. But I want to make him something. But I don't know what. Got any suggestions? He's turning 16. And I really want to make him something special.

A. Here are Some Very Tasty Handmade Gift Ideas:

* Stir up a big batch of your favorite cookie dough. Either pack it into tubs (you can decorate them with markers or stickers) OR form it into logs, wrap with colorful plastic wrap and tie with ribbons. Include baking directions. Eating right out of the tub is allowed! This can stay in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or you can freeze it for several months.
* Make a giant homemade cheesecake with fresh berries or chocolate.
* You can incorporate this quick handmade gift idea into your regular baking or cooking. It is called a “bread of the month” service. Bake and deliver a different kind of bread once a month for the year. Other foods that are great for monthly delivery are cookies or soup.


Here You Can Find a Quick Handmade Gift Idea for a Man:

* Make a compilation CD or cassette of favorite songs. You can title it, “Favorites from the 80’s” or “Best of Jazz”. Add a cover that you design yourself by hand or on the computer.
* Make or buy a little blank book. Decorate it according to this man’s interests or lifestyle. Take it around secretly to all his friends and family and ask them to write the answer to this question on a page: What do you like and respect most about (his name)?
* Paint a sign or nice rock with his name and/or house number and plant in his front yard.

Gd luck! :)

Sweet 16 gift ideas for best friend?

Q. So, as you know, my best friend is going to turn 16. She has been my best friend for 8 years now and I want to get her something special. I have saved up $80 to spend on a great gift. Any ideas?
Her birthday is on September 1st.
She is not a girly girl.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I know that something expensive isn't necessarily the best, it just has to be fun and special.

A. i think one of the coolest things to do would be for you to by a photoframe (quite big) which is split for different photos - like a collage photoframe. then print out some of the photos you have with her like when you were messing around at someones house, or a holiday or something like that.
this is what i mean by a collage frame : http://cdn.dealsdirect.net/m/products/288/9288/1/product1_9288.jpg

Its not girly but it will mean a lot to her :)
try to have photos from when you were really little so the collage would be like a timeline of your friendship:)

hope this helps:)
