Movie quotes

I was fourteen the first time I saw Spaceballs. And it was one of those movies that just became an immediate favourite. I can watch it again and again and again (and again… ;) ) The coolest part is that just about everything in life can prompt a quote from the movie…

The thing is, most people can’t recite the entire movie from memory like I can. So when I pipe up with a movie quote, I get a lot of funny looks. Like today… I had to go into the office to get much needed tech support on one of the work laptops, and while I was there, I overheard a conversation about getting a new password. The new password? 1-2-3-4-5. Seriously.

1-2-3-4-5. That’s the kind of password an idiot puts on his luggage. (Incredible, I have the same password on my luggage!). And you know I had to say the line… I had to.

And no one got it. I’m laughing like an idiot and no one got the quote.

*Sigh* I guess it could have been worse. I could have quoted Happy Gilmore.

May the Schwartz be with you!

    Hey, Grammar Geek – I need help! Forgive me for butting into an entry that really has nothing to do with grammar, but your grammar entries are pretty old.

    Ok, my question – I need to be absolutely sure about this, so I need total justification.

    Should it be:

    May your life be as a song, resounding with the dawn, to sing away the light…

    or

    May your life be like a song… etc etc.

    Purely from a grammar standpoint, wouldn’t “like” be correct, since it’s used as a preposition as opposed to a conjunction?
