I saw a truck this morning with an ad for hiring drivers. the web address was " JOINMCLANE.COM" I read it of course as John McLane and had to laugh because it made me think of one of my favorite Christmas movies. It got me wondering though, how often do we see everyday stuff and it triggers us to think about a movie or a show or a song. It happens to me quite often.

You do not have a soul. You are a soul that has a body.

That happens to me a lot. I don't listen to a lot of "regular" music (i.e., music played by popular bands of the time or the past), but when I do and hear a song that was featured in some movie, I instantly recognize it and know what movie it was in. Weird.

I definitely have some obscure movie quotes that pop into my head at random times.

Most recently, from Memento: "I've found you, you ****"

Hey Mav, do you have the name of that truck driving school?
Truckmasters, I think it is.
