Last night I had the biggest argument I’ve ever had with a coworker. It was dramatic, loud, and very public. It was also one of the funniest moments for me so far on the cruise.
Tonight is 80’s night on VH1 Best Cruise Ever. In preparation for that, we were discussing our plans for dressing up (have you seen our awesome SIXTHMAN SAY RELAX t-shirts? Picture coming soon!)… then we got into memories of the eighties and our favorite movies. Jodi was the first to mention the Goonies, and Sonia proudly proclaimed the fact that she had seen Goonies more than any of us.
We all chimed in with the best lines and our favorite scenes: “That’s what I said – boody trap!” and “Hey you guuuuuys!” I believe Will even demonstrated the Truffle Shuffle. I made the mistake of conjuring the octopus scene, which I mistakenly believed was in the original movie and had been deleted for the TV versions. Sonia corrected me that it was actually NOT in the original version, and had been ADDED to the TV versions. After much debate, I conceded. Today I looked it up on YouTube, and she was right.
If you haven’t seen this scene yet, check it out. It really makes Goonies better in my humble opinion.
Sonia, Mike, Jodi, Will, May and I were able to laugh about our debate, and I realized that was the biggest argument I’d ever had with anyone at Sixthman. I’m so lucky to be with such a cool group on this ship and back home in Atlanta, that the most passionate disagreement is about deleted scenes from an eighties movie.
Today on VH1 Best Cruise Ever we are dressed in our SIXTHMAN SAY RELAX t-shirts and 80’s garb for theme night solidarity. I have to say we look radical and pretty authentically 80’s. What was your favorite part of that bodacious era?
