--- Quote from: angry little lawyer on December 22, 2006, 03:57:02 am ---Post script: I'm actually quite proud of myself for saying "If you can't fix it, you gotta stand it" flawlessly because for some reason lately, I find myself completely unable to say this quote. Must be the combination of having the word "fix" in the quote and the word "broke" in the title of the movie because every time I try to say this quote I end up saying things like "If it ain't broken you gotta fix it." "If you can't stand it, it's broken" or "If you can't fix it, its broken."

I think you should be proud the other way around, angry little lawyer. If you're having trouble putting "fix" and "stand" together in a sentence, and when you think of something broken can't help the impulse to fix it, that sounds like a good thing.
I have used the "if you can't fix it, you gotta stand it" line on my 10- and 12-year-old sons on several occasions and, unfortunately, they don't buy that. They can't stand it, and they want me to fix it. Pronto.
I'm hoping that by the time they're 18 -- or, preferably, sooner! -- they realize it's THEIR job to fix it.

Awesome pic Front Ranger! That is beautiful scenery as well.
Ok, I am so proud of my husband - he sat down to watch BBM with me on Christmas day (his first viewing, and my third). I'm even more proud of this real-life Broke-ism:
Approximately 30 minutes after watching the movie his parents called to organize my birthday party the following day. To make a long story short, after my husband hung up with his parents, he announced that we were responsible for "bringing the hamburger patties and the condiments" for the party. I said, 'the what?' and without missing a beat he said 'ketchup'. Then we both laughed. He's a pretty fast learner if you ask me.
