I Hearted Bad Boys in the 80s... Don't Tell Michael J. Fox

Hey John Hughes, thanks for the Breakfast Club and the following brilliant nuggets!! I will quote them til I die. I will pass their wisdom to my children and always remember the criminal who brought them to life...

"Screws fall out all the time, the world is an imperfect place."

"Hey, how come Andrew gets to get up? If he gets up, we'll all get up, it'll be anarchy."

"My impression of life at Big Bri's house, "Son?" "Yeah, Dad?" "How was your day, son?" "Great, Dad. How's yours?" "Super. Say, how would like to go fishing this weekend?" "Great, Dad. But I got homework to do." "That's okay, son. You can do it on the boat." "Gee." "Hon, isn't our son swell?" "Yes, dear. Isn't life swell?"

When my friends were swooning over Kirk Cameron or Jake Ryan, I secretly had eyes for John Bender. His sarcasm and bad boy image were so not my type and still aren't, but I used to get butterflies in my tummy during the kiss in the closet scene between him and Claire. I would reenact that in my mind over and over. I loved being the rich, popular Prom queen in this scenario going against my parents, my friends and society to kiss Judd Nelson and give him my diamond earring. I would pretend to blush when he made jokes about testicles. He would be the boy my snooty friends loved to hate.

Don't you forget about me John Bender... now, raise your fist to the air for the still shot that is emblazoned in my memories. You Bad Ass!
