best 3 ending movie ever

If you even have to question which movie is the best 3 ending movie ever then you must be a communist.
Yes.
A communitst.
Because everyone knows that the best 3 ending movie ever is CLUE. It is the perfect murder mystery comedy.

I might add that it is arguably the best movie ever, no matter the number of endings it delights us with.

Where else can you live out a board game in a movie? I challenge anyone to find a movie made from a board game that rivals CLUE in any fashion.

Don't bother.
It cannot be found because it is impossible.

So many memorable movie quotes come straight from CLUE.
And do I even need to mention that I want house with secret passage ways? No, dont think I do. Because after we see this movie we realize that we all do.
Talk about a killer hide and go seek game.

I could go on and on about the perfection that is CLUE. Instead I will leave you all with a small collection of quotes that to those in the know about this miracle of a movie...it will leave you all in stitches.

Mrs. White
"Yes, I did it, I killed Yvette. I hated her, so much... That... it... it... flam - flames. Flames, on the side of my face, heaving... breath - , heaving breaths. Heaving breath..."

Singing Telegram Girl
Da da da da da da! I, am, your singing telegram...! (this tune is such an ear worm)

Mr. Green (who is actually not a fruit)
Well, I had to stop her screaming.

Wadsworth
The game's up, Scarlet. There are no more bullets left in that gun.
Miss Scarlet
Oh, come on, you don't think I'm gonna fall for that old trick?
Wadsworth
It's not a trick. There was one shot at Mr. Boddy in the Study; two for the chandelier; two at the Lounge door and one for the singing telegram.
Miss Scarlet
That's not six.
Wadsworth
One plus two plus two plus one.
Miss Scarlet
Uh-uh, there was only one shot that got the chandelier. That's one plus two plus *one* plus one.
Wadsworth
Even if you were right, that would be one plus one plus two plus one, not one plus *two* plus one plus one.
Miss Scarlet
Okay, fine. One plus two plus one... Shut up! The point is, there is one bullet left in this gun and guess who's gonna get it!

And no, it is not a quote...but who can forget watching Mrs. Peacock totally checking out Yvonne's boobage in the maids uni?
But I leave you with my parting words of........

I'm going home to sleep with my wife

See, everyone likes marshmallows

To my very good friend who thinks I may be a bit too overboard for my love of these sugary, mushy treats...I present her (and the rest of you of course) with a blog we all know and love with a baking challenge to create a marshmallow cupcake. 52 bakers of all sorts thought this was worth it. I do too. Thank you Cupcake Hero. Thank you.

John Arbuckle

Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life?

Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness in a quiet American suburb. (this text taken straight from the Garfield minus Garfield site...it was too perfect to ignore!)

You may find it...here:

Please visit this site and you'll see what a sad, sad man John Arbuckle really is.
Here are a few of my favorites

The best 15 or so friends a girl could have

Do you have them?

That group of friends that is an eclectic mix of beauty, brains, marrieds, singles, moms, self proclaimed nerds, prom queens, and tomboys?

I do.

I have an extremely diverse group of friends.
No. I dont see them everyday. I dont even talk to them everyday.

But I know they are there. They share in my joy. My pain. My jokes and my stories.

They are the definition of amazing. They are truly the best group I could have ever found myself in. Each of us has our own strength. Our own weakness.
But we are there to provide support to each other. And that support is what drives us.
Someone is always available.


We are the type of group that can do anything. Yup. Anything.

Like....we could make a funky band together....


We are a very philenthropic group. We have yet to add the tutu's of course. But you can spot us with our bows. Bedazzled bows.


We could have an outdoor picnic. Im not sure we would be as stylish as these folks, but I know that we would have just as much fun as them. Doesnt it look like they are having tons of fun? Of course it does. Whenever anyone pulls out a guitar I always feel the need to throw my arms over my head and go crazy! Do any of you play the geetar?


We are a group who loves sappy girly movies. Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is a staple. It is a big screen version of our friendship. We are all different and may not always be together. But we have always got each others back. I dont think we could share pants though. There are too many of us. And with the price of stamps going up next month....well, I think we're better off without.


You girls are the best. You know who you are.

So Ill leave you all with part of our secret handshake. Thats right. Jazz hands. Obviously these people need guidance and have not yet participated in our jazz hands clinic. Maybe they arent the best example.
Okay. These people better show you the type of jazz hands we are capable of doing. We provide show-stopping jazz hands. Show fucking stopping.

Dinner out please

Has it really been a week since I posted something noteworthy on my blog? The answer is most obviously: yes.
I can't even think of something fun and excited that I did this past week.

Oh! Yes, I thought of it.

Saturday afternoon I visited the Shorty's true american roadhouse location on Monroe Street.
It was my first visit to Shorty's in general and I was rather excited to try some amazing bbq.

Their menu is great! To start with I had the Memphis Egg Rolls
https://www.mancys.com/shortys/starter.html
Hands down the best fucking thing I have eaten at a BBQ joint. EVER.

For dinner I had their Carolina Pulled Pork Sandwich
https://www.mancys.com/shortys/sandwiches.html
It comes out sans BBQ sauce but they have two selections on your table for you. Their 'normal' and their 'spicy'. After a small taste test I chose the spicy and thuroughily soaked my pulled pork. It was divine!
I will say that their cole slaw was amazing too! They said that they make everything from scratch that is served in their restaurant. So not only was it tasty it was made in house. Always a bonus.

The waitress twisted my arm and MADE me have dessert. I had the Simply Great Bread Pudding.
https://www.mancys.com/shortys/desserts.html
In my opinion....it was decent. I can make better. So this was an eh point in the meal for me.

But it is well worth it to visit your local Shorty's restaurant and enjoy some BBQ!!
