There’s two:
Joe Gillis “I know your face. You used to be big.”
Norma Desmond “ I am big. It’s the pictures that got small.” Sunset Boulevard
“That’s the trouble with your movies Molina, they’re not real.”
Molina “Of course they’re not real. They’re better then real!” Kiss of the Spider Woman
When people tell me I’ll regret not having kids, I say that’s okay I know a really good place to cry. It’s my vacation home.
Two of my favorites are from The Quiet Man:
"Ah, yes... I knew your people, Sean. Your grandfather; he died in Australia, in a penal colony. And your father, he was a good man too."
"Could you use a little water in your whiskey?
When I drink whiskey, I drink whiskey; and when I drink water, I drink water."

Couple of James Bond lines that stand out to me:
From Tomorrow Never Dies: "Oh James, you always were a cunning linguist."
The World is Not Enough: As James is in bed with Christmas Jones (Denise Richards) he says, "I thought Christmas only comes once a year."

Double-entendres aside (and let's be honest, the series is packed with them)... in the new Casino Royale, I do love the "Vodka Marinti" "Shaken or Stirred?" "Do I look like I give a damn?"
B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?
So many from Christmas vacation....

Best or earliest memory from the old Mariucci Arena either from a game or otherwise.

Mine was my first game when the band came through the lower level playing the rouser. So loud and so awesome it sent shivers. I really loved that building, crappy sightlines and all.
Sadly, I never witnessed a hockey game there as I started college after the new Mariucci was built.

Freshman year one of my buddies, who had worked the concession stand at Braemar arena with me, said "we can get $1 student tickets" and one of our high school classmates was on the team so we went. I kept going for a lot of years except when I lived out of state for a decade.

Sitting in the front 2 rows of the balcony. Talk about a bird's eye view! Those seats were general admission for us students. Once Herb Brooks starting winning, it got to the point we had to get there 2 hours before game time to sit there, but well worth it.
Those seats were awesome.
My first game at Mariucci would have been the 74-75 season. My grandpa had season tickets starting a couple years earlier and we had just move back to MN from Baltimore/Washington DC. I fell in love on site and the tickets have been in our family since. Some early and great memories:
- Students (George!) swinging rubber chickens on nooses from the 3rd deck student section
- Angie! Angie!! Angie!!!
- Medo Sucks!
- The band playing three blind mice when the refs skated out
- Jim Boo scoring or getting a penalty
- My first date with my now wife was in 1986 at Mariucci (Michigan, 5-2 win)
- The first time my now wife saw offsides before the whistle blew - she was so excited to see it on her own she stood up and yelled OFFSIDES! even though it was a routine offiside. Love her!
- The smells at old Mariucci are rarely replicated. The combo of hockey smell, a little chill, pop/beer soaked wooden bleechers, and popcorn was unique.
- Neeee! Sooo!! (What?!!)
- Getting to play there as a peewee and bantam. Moundsview was in our district and Danny Brooks is my age so they somehow 
got ice there. If Herb was around he'd come upstairs and stand at the glass at the players entrance to watch his kid play. It was like having God at your games.

There are SO many favorite quotes from movies, I cannot even begin to count.
"Now go get your f*ing shinebox!"
"Helluva idea. TIM?!"
"It'll take more than a few firecrackers to kill Danny Green!"
"There's simply too many notes."
"You chose...poorly."
"They took the bar! The whole...f*ing...bar!"
"We're on a mission from God."
"You are not your khakis."
"Superman's drunk!"

FYP.
Additionally one of the smells you may have been to young to experience at Williams Arena was cigarette and cigar smoke. Cigarettes and cigars were sold at the concession stands and smoking was allowed in the concourses. :puke:

You just earned a Get Out of Jail Free card for implying that GE is young
If I'm blessed enough to come out of the other side of this rabbit hole alive and well (and frankly, each day at work makes me question the odds on that), I should very much like to meet folks from here on the board in person. I was very sincerely lucky to work with GE for 16 months from 2017-2018 and would enjoy getting to know others.
Anyone have any quirky personality traits/habits? For example, whether it is my home thermostat or the thermostat in my car, they have to be set at an even number temperature. Never odd!
Well I have an intense hate of Badgers and F'nhawks.?
Red and green as colors also nauseates me. ?

I don't put condiments on my food outside of how the food is prepared. The only exceptions I usually make are malt vinegar (for fries) and sauerkraut.

I sort my potato chips by size, saving the largest unbroken ones for last. Don’t ask me why, I’ve done it since I was a kid. I have no other sorting issues, just chips, so it’s more a weird habit and less OCD.

I am the same way with volume on a TV or radio. The setting has to be an even number.
I have found out over the years that I write my "H", "i", and "8" in a different order/direction than most people.
One more thing. I tend to be a category eater. I will finish off one item on my plate before I start eating the second item. I lost a bet to a friend and my losing wager was to go to a restaurant with him and eat a small portion of each item before finishing my meal. That was difficult for me be he enjoyed it immensely. If food is mixed together, that is not an issue for me.

I used to be this way. My mom always figured it was caused by the divided trays in school. Somehow I outgrew it, around the same time foods were able to touch on my plate.

I'm the same way. All the fries, then the burger. I'm the opposite way with steak, though. All the steak, then the sides, individually. I want to make sure I can enjoy all the steak, not wind up cramming it into my gullet when already full.
Drives my wife nuts.
Her: "Oooohh this is really good, try it."
Me: "Not there yet."
It is odd.
Pizza tastes better to me when its cut into squares.

On that pizza note. Campus Pizza and Latuffs Pizza (plymouth) are/were my 2 favorite pizzas one was square one was diamond. I have even taken a partial bake home and finished it at home and it just isn't quite the same.
I asked CPHockeyman and Latuffs what the secret was, and both said "the oven." I don't know what that means... Is it a seasoned oven or something? different heat/time settings or something?
I don't care if you think my pizza opinion is wrong, those 2 were the best (locally) for my taste buds.

My wife is no condiments of any kind on anything. Not even if it is prepared on the food, she orders it plain.
I’m a bit of a germophobe. People used to make fun of me.
You’re allowed to be a germaphobe for the next year or so.
Some I like such as BBQ sauces and good mustard - not that yellow mustard crap. Ketchup, lasts years at our house and we usually throw it before it's gone.

Other than being my old boring self all the time I don't believe I have any odd or unique personality traits/habits. 
Oh wait, for maximum enjoyment my burgers have to be prepared a certain way, and I always ask restaurant waiters if they can oblige. For the few that manage to get everything right they receive a very generous tip.
> Bacon cheeseburger
> Medium rare
> Pepperjack cheese
> Thin slice of raw onion
> BBQ sauce on the side
Haven't had one now for 50 days and 50 nights. And just typing this made me hungry.

If it’s on there already then sometimes, but most of the time I ask them to hold the mayo. I don’t like the taste of either mayo or mustard
To hell with mayo and sour cream. And gravy.
Normal TV volume for my TV is 7 (the little actual normal TV stations I have). For movies/Netflix, it starts at 15, and is increased in multiples of 5. Period (some formats are softer than others, way softer).
The food on my plate does not touch each other. I MAY occasionally not finish one part of the meal before the other, but that is rare.
I am very routine-based on a workday. Up at 7:45am, Out the door at 8:17, unless I have to stop at the gas station for smokes/paper/Monster. Then I leave at 8:13. Get to work at 8:30 on the dot, to read said paper before I start work at 9.
Related: my alarm clock and car clock are both 4 minutes ahead, on purpose. If I'm on time, that means I'm late, hence the setting.

I grew up with Miracle Whip. Didn’t even know about real mayo until the ‘97 flood in EGF....long story short, the donated food that we got, Mayo was one of condiments we got and I fell in love with it on sandwiches. Mayo/ketchup is my favorite burger combo too.
I guess the one thing I don’t use anything on is steak. Growing up my Dad grilled shoe leather so Heinz 57, A-1 and evening ketchup was mandatory oh my Dad’s steaks. Once I learned how to cook, if I needed anything on a steak, I cooked it wrong and I get offended when I grill a steak for someone and they lather it in something.
As for smoking meats go, the only thing I actually use on anything outside of pulled pork is a Carolina mustard. Love that stuff!
For steak? A dab, maybe, if it's some top-notch stuff. A1 doesn't cut it. Peppercorn/blackened is awesome, though. Ribs? Dry rub. Or MAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYBE a dab of sauce.
The ribs slathered in sauce? Nope, not feeling it.

Mayo and mustard are both awful. A lot of high end burgers have some form of either like chipotle mayo, which almost makes it bearable but is just a detriment in the end.
Ketchup on fries and that's about it. Sour cream an option for waffle fries or potato skins.
BBQ sauce is really hit or miss.
