“That’s a bad hat you got on.”

February 20, 2010

Stacy and Smitty, stylin’ at CPAC:

Smitty seems to have misplaced his martini glass.

And another thing: free Troglolanche to whomever correctly guesses the vague movie reference in the title. There are three acceptable answers: one is an exact quote, another is close enough, and a third…I think it’s an exact quote, but for the life of me I can’t remember the movie title, and can’t seem to find it online. Two Troglolanches to anybody who finds that for me.

    I know that Ron Moore’s production team (the guys behind the new Battlestar Galactica series) has as its tagline, “That’s a bad hat, Harry”.

    “That’s one bad hat, Harry”, from “Jaws”. Roy Scheider says that to a resident sitting on the beach in one of the earlier beach crowd scenes.

    I’ve seen it after a few sitcoms, and you’ll see a couple of animated Beevis-and-Butthead-looking characters sitting on the beach, and (I believe) either a shark fin in the background or a surfboard with a bite taken out of it.

    Bing says “Silver Streak.” Guessing Gene Wilder said it.

    Whoops! “That’s SOME bad hat, Harry” is the correct quote – here’s the scene:

    And here’s the tag video from the production company:

    Yes, those are two of the three I was thinking of, even though the “Jaws” quote isn’t exact.

    Do you blog, Teresa in Fort Worth, TX? If that is your real name?

    The third one – I think Eliot Gould was in it, but I could be wrong. He was a sportswriter, supposed to be covering the Superbowl, but traded his tickets for a guy’s hat and some other stuff.

    Hey Trog: unlike what I heard about you, at least Stacy and Smitty can still get hat ons.

    Oh Lord that was bad. Are you sure you aren’t related to Grandpa Steve?

    The movie is “Jaws”, and Rpy Scheider’s chaaracter, the sheriff, says it to an elderly gentleman, who has just come out of the water, and is wearing a swimming cap on his head, and proceeds to tease the sheriff about his fear of the water.

    Lance,
    I don’t blog; I just read a lot of different blogs by folks who write much better than I could ever hope to (and I’ve been told that I’m no slouch). About the only thing I can bring myself to write is our family’s Christmas letter (and I managed to miss doing it in 2007 & 2008)….

    Yes, it is my real name (and town) – I figure if I’m going to say something, I’d darn well better stand behind it! I know that isn’t always considered the best thing to do, but believe me, if someone wants to steal my identity, they’re going to be sorely disappointed -
