How in the hell did I not realize this until age 55? I JUST noticed it today while watching A Christmas Story. These movies were only six years apart, too!
Those are two of my favorite movies. I’ve probably seen them both 100 times. I have a Chiefs jersey in my closet and a framed and autographed photo of the Hanson brothers. I dressed up as a Hanson brother more than a few times on Halloween back in the 90s – complete with foil on my knuckles.
Yes, you read that right. ALL THREE Hanson brothers signed the photo. It’s probably worth thousands of dollars by now.
If you’re a guy and you don’t like Slap Shot, you probably played tuba in the high school band or you still live with your mother at age 35.
“Hey Hanrahan! Suzanne sucks pussy! I know, I know!!”
Fucking awesome movie. Besides being hilarious with dozens of quotable lines (“Who own the Chiefs? OWNSSS OWNSSSS!“), there was judicious use of the word “faggot” and nobody got their panties in a bunch over it. The 70s and 80s were a glorious time. I feel sorry for anyone who wasn’t alive back then. You really missed out.
- Reggie Dunlop: You know, your son looks like a fag to me.
- Anita McCambridge: I beg your pardon?
- Reggie Dunlop: You better get re-married again, or he’s gonna have someone’s cock in his mouth before you can say Jack Robinson.
- Anita McCambridge: How dare you! How dare you!
- Reggie Dunlop: And remember I went up to your room afterwards and you were dressed in chick’s clothes? Yeah, you had on this black bra with tassels! You were dancing in front of a mirror with this kinda zebra skin jockstrap.
- McGrath: Bitch!
- Reggie Dunlop: Remember how I screamed at you when you started coming on to me? And I just said ‘Jesus stop it Joe, I’m ashamed of you!’
- McGrath: Goddamn you.
- Reggie Dunlop: I wanted to tell you I forgot the whole thing. Years have passed, now I’m sexually liberated. I don’t care who’s a fag no more. I mean who cares? It’s natural, it’s all around us.
- Reggie Dunlop: Who’s the owner Joe?
