I didn't say those words, exactly, but yeah I remember yelling into a fan. And feeding crackers into the backside of it to see how much of a mess it'd make and how far they'd go.
We do it all the time at our house, but what we say is "Mmmmm, humans! So delicious with a rich cream sauce!" or something like that which I think came originally from the Simpsons but I can't be bothered to look up.
When I was in high school, a friend of mine had a ceiling fan in his den that would ramp up to dangerous speeds. We used to get it going and then toss a Nerf football into it, and duck for cover, because that ball would come flying fast. We even worked out a system of rules whereas whoever got hit took a point, had to be the next thrower, but I'm a bit vague on that. Eventually we broke all the blades off the fan with the ball, after which the hub spun out of the ceiling and landed on a glass-topped coffee table. Dumb kids.
Well, I was past all that by the time anyone found out he was Luke's father and I grew up in Auckland, where fans aren't all that necessary, so no. I would have, though - does that count?
