It's Rex Manning Day!

[Robbo_the_Hood]

At least the closest thing to a real life Rex Manning Day is happening at my store on my day off.
From the Nashville Rage:
</font><blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr />
Former lead singer for The Babys and Bad English, John Waite may be here pimping his new CD The Hard Way (some of which was recorded in Nashville), but most folks will still inevitably want to hear his trademark smash hit Missing You, easily one of the all-time ’80s classics. (We’re sure he’ll oblige, as an acoustic version of said hit is included on his new record.) 7pm, Borders Books &amp; Music (Nashville), free.

I really don't want to have to go anywhere today, but I'm still intrigued. I mean, the boss could start dating Debbie Mazar, Warren Beaty could come in to shoplift. If pop culture has told me anything, is that this is the day to go to work, even if it's my day off. My life (as well as the lives of my co-workers) has been leading up to this moment. <FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="http://www.moviepoopshoot.com/forums/dopoll.php"><INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="pollname" VALUE="1109778690Robbo_the_Hood">

Don't forget to glue coins to the floor. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Dammit! I forgot to add 'Bring Rex his lunch.'

'I wonder if I'll be held responsible for this.'

[RobinHoodDaffy]

I was walking into a Borders about a year ago, and saw a sign on the door that said.-"No handguns allowed! Bows with removed bowstrings allowed, but no arrows!" As I wondered what wild west saloon I was walking into I saw a table with Ted Nuget signing his book, "Kill it, and Grill it". Odd stuff indeed.

[Robbo_the_Hood]

Yeah, Sweaty Teddy's book flies off the shelf at my store. I imagine he would draw quite a crowd. The last big celebrity my store had was Gene Simmons, and apparently the line for autographs was up the second floor and out the back door. While I doubt Mr. Waite will command that much attention, and he has alloted time to meet the employees after the whole thing (woo hoo), I'd rather avoid any kind of mess with the troglodytes--uh, I mean customers.

[Jason_Brown]

More importantly, have you already gambled away the money needed to save the store?

[Robbo_the_Hood]

Not entirely.

[jjcourtright]

I say that you volunteer to work just in case Gina decides to wear just the Music Town apron and asks how she may service you.

I must have watched the movie 100 times in high school. I asked a girl to prom at exactly 1:37. We used to glue money to the floor at school all the time. Every time that the janitor would get them up, we would get some stronger glue. When we reached the strongest glue and he still got them off, we decided to glue them down and then silicone caulk around it. Took like a week for that to come off.

[karmattack]

All you people and your Empire Records...


...and all us people who had to Google what the feck you were talking about.

[jjcourtright]

That's not right. You should be ashamed of yourself!

[karmattack]

I know. It's one of those movies where everyone's seen it but me, nobody owns it, and it never gets rented. Can't help it.

[jjcourtright]

It seems to be on WE every other week...alternating with Chasing Amy of course. Those seem to be the only two non-made-for-TV movies that they have broadcast rights to.

[Robbo_the_Hood]

Really? I don't really know of any anti-male themes in that movie. Well, except when Liv Tyler starts stabbing at the cardboard stand of Rex Manning. I guess that's what qualifies as man-hating these days. What happened to when the feminists had balls?

[jjcourtright]

It isn't about man-hating...it's about female liberation. Gina can sleep with anybody she wants, including Rex Manning, because she is liberated from the chaste pressures put on her by a male dominated society.

Sounds like someone needs to go back to Women Studies class.

[Robbo_the_Hood]

Oh, female liberation is just another term for man hating. Interestingly enough it's also synonymous with anti-Americanism and terrorism.

[ozchick]

Always mess with their minds!

"Who glued these quarters to the floor."
"I did"
"What the hell for?"
"I don't feel that I have to explain my art to you Warren"

You could show up and see if someone brings in his special brownies, made with 'extra' sugar. I went and saw Gwar once just becuase of that movie.

[jjcourtright]

Hey, Mark man, you play a pretty mean guitar. Why don't you join the band?
