I Finally Outran The Handicapped Cop In The Nitro-Boosted Wheelchair With The Flashing Blue Lights,

Last edition’s quote was:

1: “Do you know who I am?”
2: [nods]
1: “Have you got any idea how many anonymous henchmen I’ve killed over the years?”
2: [shrugs]
1: “Look at you, you don’t even have a name tag. You don’t have a chance. Why don’t you just fall down?”
2: [falls down]

The correct answer is Austin Powers: Goldmember, featuring that oh-so-plucky troupe of Canadians Mike Meyers, Michael Meyers, M. Meyers, and Mike M. The first American feature film to express Canada’s distaste for the crunchy texture of Dutch people, Goldmember sits proudly at the bottom of the Austin Powers franchise. (Not because it’s the worst, but just because it’s lazy & doesn’t like being on top.) In spite of starring a highly comical Michael Caine as Austin’s estranged espionaged efather, this film will not be remembered for its multi-cultural flavor. It included Canadians, Americans, Dutch, Brits, and Oompa Loompas, but will not stand out as a United Nations comedy… no, it will stand out for poop jokes, “member” jokes, and for displaying a previously hidden Dutch penchant for eating dead skin. Ahem. I hate the Academy Awards.

Last edition’s winner was Todd “Mama” Jones. You may remember Mama from his last trip to the kitchen, before which he asked ‘Anybody want anything?’, to which we all responded with a polite ‘No thanks’, which thinly veiled our annoyance at being asked. Like we need someone to rob us of yet another reason to get up from the desk and stretch out the old walkin’ sticks. Before we get too annoyed, though, one thing that we should all understand about Mama: he acts simply out of love. He is not trying to give us an eating disorder (though Conkel seems to be dropping pounds like Latifah on Jenny Craig), nor is he secretly pining to feel wanted, useful, productive in this world of Aspergers-stricken analysts. No, he is simply in love with the idea that maybe, someday, with just the right mix of rainbows and grenadine, someone will want something from the damn kitchen. His prize is one dollop of rainbow; he’s on his own for the grenadine. I’m not made of money. (I’m made of rainbows.)

While not winning second place for a factually correct guess, Jane “Specs” Wong wins an Honorable Mention for being the next person to actually venture a guess that came remotely close to being correct. You’ve seen Jane roaming the halls wearing incredibly fashionable yet understated spectacles; she’s often smiling and, though she’s a tough Brand Finance analyst, she’s rarely stressed. This makes me think those spectacles are somehow enchanted. In fact, rumor has it that Jane’s nearly-rimless-but-too-cool-to-be-totally-rimless power-peepers are capable of delivering tiny doses of lithium into the back of Jane’s earlobes. Hence the smiling, non-stressed out demeanor that is entirely out of place for anyone in Corporate Finance. When asked where she obtained such an amazingly powerful pair of “prosthetics for the eyes”, she simply drooled into a little puddle on the carpet. Well played, Specs. Well played. Her prize is a little Dixie cup to catch her drool & keep it from gumming up the works of her keyboard (which she informed me is her trusty steed, and has named it Green Trident, which also happens to be her favorite gum).

This issue of MQotW is brought to you by the proud people at Northwest Airlines. “We serve granola on every flight. Buy your over-priced, fuel-burning, beer-fart-soaked seat today!” This just in: Delta Airlines has purchased Northwest Airlines. So, I guess…

This issue of MQotW is brought to you by the proud people at Delta Airlines. “We be flyin’ all over this &!*%$. No granola.”

Be the first to guess the title of the movie from whence the below quote was taken, and you will receive a grand fake prize from yours truly. If your correct response is received second, you will receive no prize whatsoever, but will be mocked for your inferior movie knowledge and/or less-than-catlike reflexes.

Please note: The point of MQotW is to acknowledge those with a completely useless mental database of movie knowledge, NOT to reward you for book marking IMDB.com or some other movie site & being able to type quickly; therefore, if you are found guilty of such high treason, you will be summarily dismissed from the distribution list. And I will flame you on MySpace. Research at your own risk.

Because this contest has some timing aspects to it, and to be fair to all my homies, I will distribute the MQotW at noon every Tuesday. Unless I’m busy.

Without further ado, I give you this edition’s…
