hehehe. I've never even seen The Thing, I have no idea what this is about.

well it would have to be McCready because he's the hero and the hero would never be a killer alien - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 15:38
It's *really* good. For an almost 30-year-old movie, it holds up awfully well. -- nm - The Vermin Feb 26, 15:37 3
- Yeah, I saw it for the first time a couple of years ago, and wasn't disappointed -- nm - Roger More Feb 26, 15:57
- this is correct. -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 15:57
- It's in my top 10 of movies that I posted in my HSX profile... - Facto Feb 26, 15:39
The ending remains a mystery, the new movie that's gonna be made is thought to be a prequel -- nm - Facto Feb 26, 15:37 27
- *sigh* What happened to original stories? -- nm - the liioulu with pretty soft yarn Feb 26, 15:38 26
  - it was a remake of a freaking 50s monster movie - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 15:39 25
    - I know. -- nm - the liioulu with rickrack Feb 26, 16:48
    - tag you're it -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 15:44 23
      - you have to make sure to say "no butcherbacks" -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 15:45 22
        
        No what? - musubi Feb 26, 15:47 21
        
        don't pin this on us. I never heard the phrase./ -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 15:49 2
        
        yeah, zero hits on google for it :) Must be a Quadra Island thing -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 15:50 1
        
        oh, apparently it's also been mentioned in Manitoba -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 26, 15:51
        
        I think it might be "no tagbacks" in other areas -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 15:48 17
        
        You think? - Stephen Feb 26, 15:48
        
        and I think I've also heard "no returnsies". -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 15:48 15
        
        I've never heard any of these terms. Grew up in the Northeast. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 16:32 4
        
        No tagbacks here. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 16:34 3
        
        I've heard no tagbacks and no backsies. -- nm - Krusty Feb 26, 16:36 2
        
        backsies!! that's the word I know. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 16:46 1
        
        That was the most common one when I was a kid. -- nm - Krusty Feb 26, 16:51
        
        I've said "no return" but "no returnsies" is.. well... do I really need to explain? -- nm - Roger More Feb 26, 15:53 9
        
        I think it speaks for itself. :) (It was used in that form on Friends, AFAIK) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 15:53 8
        
        It's the sort of thing Hugh Grant would say -- nm - Roger More Feb 26, 15:56 7
        
        Yes. And David Schwimmer, if I recall correctly. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 15:59
        
        "No one's said whoopsie-daisies in like 30 years and even then it was little girls with blonde ringlets." -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 15:58 5
        
        You have to admit, "No Butcherbacks" sounds a lot more manly than "No Returnsies" :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 15:59 4
        
        Only if more manly means less comprehensible. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 16:06 3
        
        Not surprisingly, it often does. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 16:09 2
        
        urrr urrr urrr -- nm - Tim Allen Feb 26, 16:33 1
        
        *ding!* :) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Feb 26, 17:12
me either. -- nm - the liioulu with pretty soft yarn Feb 26, 15:36 1
- *bada-boom* -- nm - Facto Feb 26, 15:37
