Maybe someone else can eat 50 eggs, but my limit is about 4...

I noticed that was on today, so I'm recording it to watch later. I love that movie.

When I was a teenager, I pigged out on deviled eggs one time. Must have ate a dozen or more. For the next week, every time I burped it smelled like a...um... very sulfurous release of air. It was horrible. It sure ruined my social life for awhile
65 of them? May as well go find a cave to live in

Add a 6 pack of beer to the 50 eggs and the next day you'd better be living alone.

Great movie. I love the line " what we have here is a failure to communicate" i think I heard that little guy died recently? One of my high school buddies liked the movie so much he changed his name to Luke. Still called that today.
