WTB Y'all it's The Man from Snowy River...DUH!




So I really thought this movie was more popular with you guys. I guess not. I love it. It's pretty poplular among my Cowboy buddies. Whenever we'd be out ridin, and someone got in a bit of a hairy spot or had to do some serious ridin, someone would always say "Yeah you got it- just get all man from snowy river on it's *ss!!" or something like that.

Haley and B both started right off the bat with some bogus stabs in the dark: "Beetlejuice" and "Joe Dirt" Then I didn't hear anythin from anyone for a long time and started gettin worried. Finally, in the wee hours of Friday morn I got a text from Matt "man from bippin snowy river!"
Then Dan a FB message from Dan later that day and one from George saying that he knew it on Wednesday but didn't wanna win cause he'd be gone all this upcomin week.

So I guess that's it. I'm sorry this post is kinda weak. I've been P.A.ing at the 2A High School Western Wyoming regional tournament all bippin day and I'm fried. Who knew watching nine consecutive hours of High School girls miss layups and listening their parents scream about it would be so taxing?

Think I'll gonna go sell some turnips on a flat bed truck, maybe crunch a few pork rinds n see who shows up.


She's all yours Matthew.....

Dude! While I did have a bogus guess (it sounds like something Beetlejuice would say, doesn't it?), you forgot to give me credit when I finally did get it!! Granted I was sitting next to you when I got it, so I just said it to you... but I did get it before the dead giveaway. So I would like my last place finish spot credit again please. Thanks.

I would also like credit because I totally FB messaged you after the giveaway and guessed Man From Snowy River!!

Yeah, this movie isn't really popular with me (except the dramatic closeup of the horse eye- that is very popular with me). I've definitely seen it, but didn't ring a bell. The person in the family I'd say it is most popular with is Amy--- where were you?

Emily said...

B and H- I added your names in the order I figured made most sense. It's hard to be in charge of this huh Al?

Haley said...

Thanks Em. Yeah, I have only seen this movie once or twice all the way through. Definitely not enough to get it from most of those quotes. It was a good one though Alex!

Well, I probably should have guessed this one, but it just proved once again how terrible I am at this game. However, I do not have it memorized (except for the few Scott lines--"It's so peaceful here"--the best). Good job you all who got it. And I was out of town for the give away quote.

I know this is late, but a few comments from the sun king. Very good movie and always enjoy seeing it. The best part is when the boy (man) is rounding up the wild horses and they start off the steep slope of the mountain. Great riding and great filming and then when he is using the crack whip and driving the horses across the field and into the pens. Nice tender type scene. The only downside to the movie was the girl that looked so much like my brothers wife, Glida. I hated to be reminded of her.
