Required reading... and viewing

I realized today that there are certain things that should be a prerequisite for anyone hoping to be "in" with srahfamily*. Srahfamily is, of course, the coolest family on earth and everyone wants to be "in" with them. But first you must understand the organizational culture by way of its cultural artifacts!**. This is an attempt to chronicle some of the things that are most often quoted or referred to around here (in some cases I have included a favorite quote because I just can't help myself!):

Books

• The Stupids Die ("This isn't heaven - this is Cleveland!")
• Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs
• Sideways Stories from Wayside School
• Three By the Sea ("Cheese! I love cheese!")

Movies

• 1776
• Monty Python and the Holy Grail
• Monty Python's Life of Brian
• Star Wars original trilogy
• Pirates of Penzance

TV

• That one episode of Just Shoot Me with Elliot's supposedly-retarded younger brother, Donnie ("Chicken pot chicken pot chicken pot PIE!")
• The Simpsons
• Blackadder (especially Blackadder III, I think)
• Jeeves & Wooster ("How do you feel when you marry your ideal? Every so goosey goosey goosey goooooseeeeey...")

I would welcome other suggestions from members of the family or those who think that they are "in!"

* Some of these may be more often quoted by srah than the rest of srahfamily. Sorry - I'm biased.
** Business School/Organizational Behavior, anyone?
