Yeah the scene from the Exorcist where her head spun around. Creeped me out for decades LOL

Oh goodness I have too many to list. From pop culture to real life. People think I'm weird because I remember conversations from many years ago. But since you asked I'll pull a rabbit out of my hat...

"Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout as you did in Rome, 'Do your worst, for I will do mine!' Then the fates will know you as we know you: as Albert Mondego, the man!" Edmond Dantes in the film The Count of Monte Cristo. I have the book and look forward to reading it.

Of course the entire quote as is, is not what sticks with me. Just a paraphrased version. My memory is not That good but I'm sure if I wanted to I could memorize it. I once had the poem Invictus memorized.

In fact there's a part from Invictus that sticks with me: "master of my fate, captain of my soul". Our 8th grade teacher made us memorize and recite it in front of class.

Funnily enough, when I read the title of your thread I thought you were talking about Charlie Tuna....

"Sorry Charlie"

I came across this video this morning and I sure was thinking about Charlie whilst watching it.

Anyways just imagine being that person trying to escape the Croc in the video.
