T.C. for stealing the best lines: "You're going to have to answer to the Coca-Cola Company."

1. The debut of a young James Earl Jones - later to be Darth Vader

2. The B-17 (44-85643) used in the filming was the same aircraft lost when they made the Memphis Bell movie.

3. Major "King" Kong (Slim Pickens) riding the nuclear bomb as it descends down to its "Rooskie" target like a bucking bronco. In the background Vera Lynn sings "We'll Meet Again" as atomic bombs go off. Now that is good dark humour.

4. "Well...one of our generals went a little funny in the head."

5. Major "King Kong" "Two pairs a nylon stockin's. Two pair a prophylactics. Shoot. A fella could have a good time on this in Vegas."

6. And not least, the opening music "Try A Little Tenderness" very ironic.



"Boyington was a Drunk, but He was a Drunk We'd Follow Straight Into Hell..." Lt. William Northrop Case

LMAO Oh man...I watch that movie whenever it's on if...for no other reason...than to watch the Russian ambassador try not to break up laughin' as Strangelove's arm goes on the offensive. Laughing Pay close attention next time ya watch. Hysterical!

"This is it fellas....nuclear combat toe-da-toe wit da Rooskies..."

Slim Pickens as Major T.J. "King" Kong had some of the best lines in that film:

"Well, boys, we got three engines out, we got more holes in us than a horse trader's mule, the radio is gone and we're leaking fuel and if we was flying any lower why we'd need sleigh bells on this thing... but we got one little budge on them Rooskies. At this height why they might harpoon us but they dang sure ain't gonna spot us on no radar screen!"

and, of course, my new signature line...(see below)

Well, it's not my sig line anymore, so I have to actually enter the quote now:

"Stay on the bomb run boys! I'm gonna get them doors open if it harelips everybody on Bear Creek!"

As the creator of this thread, I had asked for it to be deleted. It had fulfilled it's purpose and was only a continuation of frivolry, as the question I had asked was sensitive in nature.

Please cease and desist in it's continuation and delete it.

Thank You.

"...Well now, what happened is...um...one of our base commanders, he had a sort of...well, he went a little funny in the head...you know...just a little...funny. And, ah...he went and did a silly thing...Well, I'll tell you what he did. He ordered his planes...to attack your country..."

World War III was never this funny! Laughing

Speaking of funny, you know what's REALLY funny to me, is that there is a thread ENTITLED "Nuclear Weapons" and Gums hasn't chimed in yet. Mods, could we spread the word to Gums? Perhaps he missed this one.

Gums probably read my earlier posts and showed his timeless wisdom by NOT participating. Razz

Fine then, my own little 1960s flavored contribution:

"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? HELL NO!!!"
"Germans?"
"Forget it, he's rolling."

John Belushi- A.K.A future Senator John "Bluto" Blutarsky and company

Continue on, my fellow Forumers... Laughing

Aaaa, Gums might perhaps be getting a tad slower... No offense...
