Brokeback sure got me good!

Yay! Here's one I haven't seen before.
My son and I were at the farm market today. We only had a limited amount of cash, and we had to get a bunch of stuff. So as the money started to run low, I asked, kind of rhetorically, "Should we get some beans?" then, thinking about how we'd just gotten a big bag of (yellow) beans last week and not even finished them yet, I said, "Nah, I'm sick of beans."
My inner mental ears pricked up. The line sounded familiar, and of course I knew why. PLUS I thought about how it's only July and we'll be going to many more farm markets and wanting to buy more vegetables and soon that would probably include beans, so I added,
"Too early in the summer to be sick of beans."
I did not say it in a Basque accent. My son, of course, was oblivious.

I always feel like any beans reference (either in "real life" or in chat) should get extra-Brokie-bonus points around here at BetterMost. 8)

I used a Brokieism during our vacations. Well, in the English speaking world it might not be a Brokieism, but used by a German in English I think it should count ;D
My husband had a second softdrink during a meal while I didn't have a second one. Before drinking the rest of it, he asked me "Do you want some of this Fanta?" (in German) and sure as hell I replied in English: "It's all yours." with the according Jack tone. :)
My husband drank the softdrink, but gave no further reaction. He's long gotten used to all things Brokie and even doesn't tease me about it anymore. :)

Hi all and for all of you that went to Alberta I hope you had a wonderful, wonderful memory filled time!!!
I didn't actually use a brokeism, but as I was rummaging through all of the junk in the trunk of my car, I ran across a tire iron. Instantly I thought about Jack, and it was not a good feeling. (need I say more)
Before BBM, a tire iron was simply that, but after seeing this powerful movie, a tire iron is no longer just a tire iron!
