Report your use of Brokieisms in so-called "real life"

A producer says of him, "He's the best writer we've got. Hell, he's the only writer we've got." Accent was quite different, but delivery exactly the same.

Interesting! Because I bet Larry and Diana have seen The Front.
Is it good, BTW?
Ellemeno:
It's worth watching. Several of the main people involved were actually blacklisted in the early 50s.

That's a good one Elle. It's been a while since I've watched a Woody Allen movie... sometimes I go through phases when I really, really want to watch his movies. But, I've never seen that one.
I always find it fun when there are Brokieisms tucked into other films/shows/books/music, etc. They usually have nothing to do with BBM, but they always get my attention in any case.
For whatever reason, during the moving packing and unpacking I've been in the mood to listen to a band called Placebo endlessly... they're a band that I've always liked and I saw them live in 2003. But, normally I don't listen to them so constantly.. for some reason they've definitely seen me through this move.
Anyway, on their most recent album there's a song titled "For What It's Worth." ;D The album is copyrighted 2009... still I doubt that there's any BBM connection (aside from the fact that they're lead singer is bisexual and the bassist is gay).

That's a great song C! Love it. But it's a very different song from the Placebo tune I was thinking about. I'll post a YouTube when I get home from work (yes I have high speed internet at home now!).
For now:
For What It's Worth:
The end of the century
I said my goodbyes
For what it’s worth
I always aim to please
But I nearly died
For what it’s worth
Come on lay with me
‘Cause I’m on fire
For what it’s worth
I tear the sun in three
To light up your eyes
For what it’s worth
Broke up the family
Everybody cried
For what it’s worth
I have a slow disease
That sucked me dry
For what it’s worth
Come on walk with me
Into the rising tide
For what it’s worth
Filled a cavity
Your God shaped hole tonight
For what it’s worth
No one cares when you’re out on the street
Picking up the pieces to make ends meet
No one cares when you’re down in the gutter
Got no friends got no lover
For what it’s worth
Got no lover
Got no friends got no lover
