I'm Ron Bur..gun..dy?

My husband and I have a problem. There is no pill that can be prescribed. No therapist that would spend an hour helping us through it. No support group. And really, no desire to 'be cured'. We are movie addicts. Damn those cheap movie bins at WalMart! Every year our collection grows. Every year we have to minimize our movie clutter - argue over which ones to keep and which ones to donate to the local movie-lovers club. But there is one movie that continues to make the cut. One that brings laughter, not heated discussion on why we should or should not dispose of it. Anchorman.
My brother is currently in the process of moving to San Diego and when he left, I believe I told him to 'Stay Classy'.
I'm not sure if I'm to call him a San Diegan, San Diegoan, San Dieg-ite. Perhaps I'll just refer to him as 'my brother who lives in San Diego'. Living in the state of Michigan, I can understand the confusion as to how to be addressed. I am not a Michiganian. I am a Michigander. If anyone from San Diego gets it wrong, you get a pass, because just like Ron Burgundy, I do not know what to call you.
It's random quotes from Anchorman that keeps the slapstick comedy in our movie repertoire. While some may be highly offended by the sexist comments, racial stereotyping and degrading humor...my husband and I think it's a classic.
What other actor could get away with saying, "I'm gonna punch you in the ovary," than Will Ferrell? Who else could pull of the Black Panther stink than Paul Rudd.
The sign of a good movie in my book is when you hold contests with your friends, co-workers, acquaintances, or just random people on the street to see who can quote the most lines from it. For example: "What? You pooped in the refrigerator? And you ate the whole... wheel of cheese? How'd you do that? Heck, I'm not even mad; that's amazing."
And there's always the reference to the pirate hooker and the trident.
"Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident."
"Brick, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safehouse or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for murder. "
I mean, who DOESN'T laugh at that. Perhaps I have a twisted sense of humor. Maybe I have NO sense. Maybe it's all NONsense.
Will Ferrell is a comedic genius. To those of you who say, "I hate you Ron Burgundy...I hate you," I say, "You are not a man, you are a big, fat joke."

Yes, perhaps I have a problem. Perhaps I've seen the movie one too many times. Perhaps it's the scotchy, scotch, scotch or the fumes from Black Panther, but I am a Ron Burgundy fan. He is one funny San Diegan..Diegoan...guy from San Diego.
