★★★★★ · Gluttony DeLuxe! · martini66 · 2005-03-07

This one is really just too hilarious to miss. Please pass the mashed potatoes. I really just want to party with this wildcat! There's a little of this guy in all of us and everyone knows it. Somehow I have the sudden urge to go to dinner with my friends. Marvelous! Cheers!!! LESSON : Never finish without having after dinner cocktails.

★★★ · Did you ever hear ANYONE call someone else "mac"? · Mewster · 2005-12-24

I remember seeing this movie in drivers ed in the mid-80s. It was part of a , with skits like the drunk plowing his car thru a diner and another car getting stuck over a rising bridge.

Who called anoyone "mac" during the time this was filmed? Whenever I hear someone say "mac", I ususally look for a TV, becuase the only time I've ever heard it is from the New York cabbies in the old movies or old TV shows, with the yellow cab hats, the leather…
