She Tried To Kill Me With A Forklift!

True story time! So, we had a substitute today, and her name was Mrs. Manos. Poor girl was wondering why people kept shouting "THE HANDS OF FATE!" every time someone said her name. Poor me had that forklift jingle stuck in my head foreeeeeeeever.

One more thing: call your family today. Do it. Life's short.

  3. gotta say, I must be missing something -- a commercial probably (I don't watch them thanks to DVRs, yippie!) So I, sadly, don't get the joke. :-(
    Manos=hands, yes, I get that bit (I did study Latin and all) but where'd the forklift come from? And why does it have a jingle?

    Sadly, too, I didn't read this till it was way to late to call extended members of my family, but I did talk to my kids -- does that count?

  4. C'mon, Mrs. N! I thought this was your kind of humor. Mystery Science Theater 3000? Manos: The Hands Of Fate?

  5. Never got into MST3K - - just enough to know what it was, watch the occasional snippet. Ah, well. But, you'll be happy to know that I've asked Mr. N to add "Lost" to the Netflix queue. (after we finish Battlestar Galactica.)
