Helpful Hints with LaLa

4 03 2008

Gold stars all round! Smashing job on the meme quiz thusfar!

Do you like the title of this post? We have a document we sometimes send to new clients that is called “Helpful Hints” and I always smirk when I send it to them as it reminds me of those columns in New Idea and the like, you know, “how does one get the grass stains out of my MM gardening boot soles? He makes a frightful mess when he tramps right across my clean lino”

Anyway – I digress…. I come here to give you some hints on the remaining UNSOLVED mysteries and whatnot…

3. “Hello. My name is Leonard Lowe. It has been explained to me that I’ve been away for quite some time. I’m back.” – I once suffered from the illness featured in this movie. Nominated for 3 Oscars.
5. “You were thinking that you’ll never hear another piece of original music ever again. You’ll never read a book that hasn’t already been written or see a film that hasn’t already been shot.” – I know this one has been driving Enny mad, so here’s the hot tip for her, the first in what now appears will be a trilogy.
6. “Six guys wearing electric orange… synthesizer… heavy percussion… electric guitar.” – My brother Scott gave me this soundtrack on cassette the same birthday Dad gave me a walkman, I listened to it over and over and over and over and over again. So my brother Paul should know.
7. “Learned a new word today. Atom bomb. It was like God taking a photograph.” – Nominated for 6 Oscars
12. “Would ya just watch the hair. Ya know, I work on my hair a long time and you hit it. He hits my hair.” – The main character works in a paint store.
13. “That’s not a joke, that’s a severe behavioral disorder. I mean, the next thing you know, you’ll be wearing a bra on your head!” – Possibly one of my favorite Eighties movies ever, main female character name was inspired by Apple Computer’s first GUI computer, the Apple Lisa.
