Hi, I'm altolinguistic and I want you all to come to my town so we can hang out in my local wine bar.

posted by altolinguistic 24 April | 13:30

An organic chem lab? I can top that, though not by much. In a former life, I ran a nuclear chem lab, specifically the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's southeast regional nuclear chem lab. We moved it from the 31st floor of 101 Marietta in downtown Atlanta to the next to the top floor of the new federal building.

Heh, I had everything from biological samples through contaminated lubricants (very difficult to dispose legally, not that that ever stopped us, you might say those samples 'bought the farm') to Pu-239. I wonder whatever happened to that latter chunk of pure evil; we weren't supposed to have it (I never did find out where it originated), no one knew of what use we possibly could have had for it, and we never carried it in our inventory (we could do that, we were afterall the NRC).

Now that I think about it, bits of plutonium were always popping up throughout my career. I recall more than a few instances when I worked for Wackenhut at the Savannah River Site where someone from the Department of Energy wanted to store plutonium buttons in our ammo bunker for a week or two. My suspicion was that those buttons were taking a little vacation while a headquarters accountability audit took place.

Oh, and one of my favorite movies is "Mean Girls".

posted by mischief 24 April | 13:40

Hi, I'm box and my favorite teen movie is Over the Edge, starring a young Matt Dillon. My second favorite teen movie might be Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

posted by box 24 April | 13:43

I loved Over The Edge, too, box. Wanna get drunk and shoot guns while listening to Cheap Trick, and then maybe blow up a high school.

Me and this guy Rich I used to work with hung out with two young ladies he knew one night, and they said I reminded them of Cusack (this was in less hirsuite days) in that movie. They kept saying 'two dollars!' tome all night. And I didn't manage to get anywhere with either of them

Hi, I'm brina and I can't believe no one here has yet mentioned Sixteen Candles, the single most underrated teen movie of all time. Just in line behind it are Can't Buy Me Love and Some Kind of Wonderful. And if you count Almost Famous as a teen movie, then it's the best one out there. And I'm not ashamed to admit that I thought Can't Hardly Wait was pretty good, but that might have been due to an unfortunate Ethan Embry crush.

Hi, I'm elizard and I'll be in the rec room with muddgirl and cmonkey. Pump Up the Volume is indeed an awesome film, and the soundtrack kicks serious ass.

Is Repo Man a teen movie? 'Cause I was a teenager when I watched it for the first time.

Also, I've seen Withnail & I about eleventy-seven times, and never get tired of it. If I spiked you, you'd know you'd been spoken to. If I medicined you, you'd think a brain tumour was a birthday present.

Pump up the volume fuckin rules.

Rules, I say! Even though the character of Mark feeds a cricket to a green iguana (herbivore) that's also housed improperly, and that's not quite how harmonizers work, and that's now how the FCC triangulates transmissions, and... oh god I'm doing it again aren't I?

_{Hi, I'm mochicrunk. You might remember me from such dates as "he went into this 15 minute fugue describing the history of the stirrup and ridiculing the historical authenticty of the movie" and "he was trying to be sweet but if he's allergic to carnations he shouldn't have bothered. I wasn't sure if the blossom was going to disintegrate before his hands swelled up to the size of his head."

Also, Ally Sheedy was always hotter than Molly Ringwald and that's really what ruined The Breakfast Club for me.}

Hi, I'm Wendell, my Cable Internet was out all day and that's my excuse for not posting to this thread earlier and I'm sticking to it.

Also, I really liked "The Breakfast Club" at age 29, but gave up on teen movies after being extremely disappointed by "Weird Science". However, I have watched every episode of "That 70s Show" (many more than once) featuring 20-30-year-olds playing teenagers who would've been 5 years younger than I was at the time. Does that sentence make sense?
