Don't Terminate my Catchphrase

Just begging for a top hat and a tap number

Last weekend, I watched both "Terminator" and "Die Hard" for the first time.  I know some people might find that fact unbelievable, but typically the movies I watch contain at least one song and dance number, something both of these movies were sorely lacking.  Would it have been so much to ask to include at least one heartbreaking solo where Arnold Schwarzenegger mournfully sang for the cameras and expressed the fact that although he was created to kill, there's a whole other side of him that people ignore because of his glowing red eyes?  I don't personally think so.

Anyway, after viewing these cinematic masterpieces, I came to the conclusion that I need to create myself some catchphrases.  You know, something like "I'll be baaaahhck" or "Yippee-ki-yay, mother$@C&#$!"  or "Come with me if you want to live."  My guess is that the theaters just exploded with cheers when these lines were delivered in the movie.  They scream with commercial appeal and relatability, two things I've found myself lacking in my everyday life, so I'm on a mission to become quotable and vaguely threatening at the same time.

Years ago, I had a catchphrase.  Whenever I was using a declarative sentence, I'd preceded it by saying, "It's official."  Example:  "It's official.  The Bears stink this year," or "It's official.  My shoes are untied," or "It's official.  Dinner is at 6 PM."  I thought it worked out great but my family and friends disagreed.  They'd often repeat that line back to me in a mocking, annoyed voice, apparently frustrated that I'd use it several hundred times a day.  Some people just don't understand marketing.

So now I'm looking for a new catchphrase.  My talents include keeping a ping pong ball suspended in midair above my mouth by blowing air out carefully, Tetris, knowledge of "Full House," "Beverly Hills 90210" and any "Real Housewives" series, and having an excellent memory for dates that at times might be borderline idiot savant.  My mind is blank on ideas but I'm open for suggestions.  The next step is hiring a screenwriter to follow me around and pepper up my dialogue (whoa, dialogue isn't in the Blogger dictionary but Schwarzenegger is.  What's wong with America??) with these little gems.

I'll be sure to keep you posted on how this develops.... errr, I'll be bahhhhhck.
