"A Christmas Story" is now on TBS . . .

I've never understood why people would hate the movie. *shrug*

Largely because of the plot (such as it was). Little boy gets treated like shit by everyone he comes across largely because he is a little shit himself.

It just seems more to me to be a how-to book of how NOT to behave than a Christmas classic.

He's a little boy during the Christmas season acting like a little boy during Christmas. I'm not really sure how he's a "little shit." *shrug*

If anything, IMHO, Ralphie's practically an angel compared to the obnoxious little...ummmm....children.... I see every now and then.

You gotta admit it's worth it to see Ralphie beat the crap out of Scut Farkas.

I did just about everything Ralphie did in the movie. "Little shit" is a pretty accurate description of me as a young child.

Did you fantasize about getting a BB gun and your teacher giving you an "A+++++" grade on the board while sounding like a porn star having an orgasm?

(My memory's a bit off but that's how I'd describe it)

As far as the movie is concerned, when I was a kid, I only remember as far as the "you'll shoot your eye out" bit from the teacher.

I ended up watching it more recently and man oh man....
