100 Things I learned while watching Vacation


Can`t believe this hasn`t been done for this movie. I`ll start us off. Add your own and keep the numbers adding up.

1) If you think you hate it now, wait till you drive it.

2) If you`re going to take the tribe cross country, the family truckster is the vehicle for you.

3) When the bullets start flying while looking at plight in the inner cities, roll èm up!

4) Hamburger helper tastes just fine all by itself. Better than Tuna helper in fact.

5) Always check the picnic basket contents for signs of dog pee before eating the sandwiches.

Vacation was so educational it should be considered a documentary.

Ten bonus things I learned from a five minute segment of Vacation:

140: The kids don't knock anymore!

141: the bed was very soft...

142: "If everything were like home there'd be no reason for leaving home... Right Rusty?"

143: All cowboys wore jogging shoes

144: The bartender does NOT like being called "Underpants!"

145: "Are you happy now Clark? She's deaf."

146: When the pioneers ran out of sod, they used mud!

147: "Personally, I'd rather see a pile of mud than Eddie."

148: Cousin Eddie likes Greenwalls

149: "Hey I'll bet you could use a cool one, huh?"








"Bite my shiny metal ass!"

150: Doesn't matter what exit you take, as long as it gets you across the river

151: If you can't find the gas filler cap on your new car, just poke the gas hose nozzle
randomly into the side of the car where you think it should be. Maybe it will show up.

152: Gas station hoses were much longer in 1983 than they are today.

153 Clark pretends to swim naked but is wearing shorts...just like he did in Caddyshack

154 On a cross- country trip, you should stop somewhere and change your hair style

155: Video games sure did suck back then

156: Network TV is apparently OK with dogs being dragged to death, but not daddies French-kissing their daughters

157. Apparently you can dance with a sandwich and flirt with a sexy woman and no one five feet away from you will care or even notice.
