Back To The Bragging Rights

I Lost The Bragging Rights. Again. Now, I am down, like Fifty-Fold. I don’t even know what Fifty-Fold means! I just know that it is going to take me One Long Assed Time to Win The Bragging Rights back. This feels an awful lot like when I open My Citibank Visa Card Bill.

In case you are wondering, this time I Lost The Bragging Rights because I Foolishly announced that Back To The Future had Won An Oscar for Best Screenplay (Original) while we watching it on AMC last night. Totally Awesome Boyfriend Adamantly Disagreed. I thought he was Wrong and Challenged him to The Bragging Rights. And, um, it turned out He Was Right. Damn!

“How could Back To The Future Not Have Won?!!” I shouted at The Lord Of The Bragging Rights, dancing his Stupid Jig. “It is Brilliant! Everything Connects! Everything Makes Sense and has Some Sort Of Payoff!”

“Because Witness Won that year!” he shouted jubilantly, kicking his legs in the air.

“Oh,” I resigned. “That was A Good Flick, too.”

And as I sunk deeper into the sofa, I thought, “If I had A Time Machine, I could Go Back In Time and Win Those Bragging Rights Back.”

But some Amish kid would see the whole thing and your boyfriend would have to protect him from you & your futile conspiracy to regain the bragging rights.

Which, by the way, I believe your boyfriend still has.

*jig jig jig*

Hey! Back to The Future actually was Nominated for Four Oscars in 1985. (Song, Sound, Special FX, and Original Screenplay) And it did Win in Sound! So, ESC, Back To The Future is An Academy Award Winning Film!

Wait -- Does this mean I win The Bragging Rights from You??!!

Was "Witness" the one where they show Kelly McGillis (sp?) butt naked? If so, it rightfully won.
