Sail On John Hughes
Take me for what I am, a star newly emerging.
I accept the new found man, and I set the twilight reeling.

Re: Sail On John Hughes
He was from my hometown of Northbrook, Illinois. What a talented guy. Although he has not done anything in awhile. He will be missed, but his work will stand the test of time.
I thank the Lord for the people I have found

Re: Sail On John Hughes
Some famous quotes from John Hughes movies....
"Bueller, Bueller?"
"Demented and sad, but social."
"What about prom, Blane? WHAT ABOUT PROM?"
"That's a major appliance, that's not a name!"
"I am now, and will forever be, a Duckman."
"That's right, I'm Abe Froman." "The Sausage King of Chicago?"
"SAVE FERRIS."
"Fred, she's gotten her boobies!"
"Those aren't pillows!"
"That's impossible, sir. It's in Johnson's underwear."
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
"Mr. Griswold, that if you are thinking of taking the tribe cross-country, this is your automobile. The Wagon Queen Family Truckster. You think you hate it now, but wait till you drive it."
"I don't know why they call this stuff Hamburger Helper. It does just fine by itself, huh?"
"Bueller...Bueller??!!...Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious."
"Not that I condone fascism, or any -ism for that matter. -Ism's in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off people."
"The Donger needs food!"
"Excuse me: if whoever was in this house is still in the house, I'd like you to know that I've just called the police. I'd also like to add that I've got my father's gun and a *scorching* case of herpes."
"I can't believe that my grandma just felt me up"
"My little brother told me he payed a dollar to see your underwear last night...."
"Jack: You wanna beer?
Ron: It's 7 o'clock in the morning.
Jack: Scotch?"
"Chevy Chase: The moose says you're closed. I say you're open.
John Candy: Has your father ever killed anyone?
Anthony Michael Hall: Just a dog. Oh, and my Aunt Edna."
State Trooper: What the hell are you driving here?
Del: We had a small fire last night, but we caught it in the nick of time.
State Trooper: Do you have any idea how fast you were going?
Del: Funny enough, I was just talking to my friend about that. Our speedometer has melted and as a result it's very hard to see with any degree of accuracy exactly how fast we were going.
Uncle Buck: I don't think I want to know a six-year-old who isn't a dreamer, or a sillyheart. And I sure don't want to know one who takes their student career seriously. I don't have a college degree. I don't even have a job. But I know a good kid when I see one. Because they're ALL good kids, until dried-out, brain-dead skags like you drag them down and convince them they're no good. You so much as scowl at my niece, or any other kid in this school, and I hear about it, and I'm coming looking for you!
"Doooonnnngggg. Wheeeerrreeee is my automobile?"
"AUTO MOBEEEEELLLLL!! "
"Oh, he's very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude."
