We still believe in Molly Ringwald

Molly Ringwald this week turns the big "Four-Oh my god the 80s are aging too fast."

I doubt she's spending her 40th the same way I spent mine back in July: Gambling away all the mortgage money at the craps table at the Bellagio. But she can blow on my dice anytime.

Rather than drone on and on about her importance to the very fiber of my existence, let me allow Molly the opportunity to teach us her sagely wisdom.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW IN LIFE, YOU CAN LEARN FROM MOLLY RINGWALD:

• "Us loners got to stick together." (Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone)
• "I loathe the bus. There has to be a more dignified mode of transportation." (Sixteen Candles)
• "When you don't have anything, you don't have anything to lose. Right?" (Sixteen Candles)
• "Academic clubs aren't the same as other kinds of clubs." (Breakfast Club)
• "If somebody doesn't believe in me, I can't believe in them." (Pretty in Pink)
• "When you're pregnant, sometimes you get hemorrhoids, okay?" (For Keeps)
• "You don't want me, I'm used, I'm worn out, I'm bad goods, you can't trust me." (Fresh Horses)

Brilliant one, Tonianne. I bow to your cheekiness.

"I can't believe I gave my panties to a geek!"

A lesson to all the ladies.

Two from Sixteen Candles:
-"I can't believe my grandmother actually felt me up."
-"Life is not whatnot, and it's none of your business."

That isn't really fair to us geeks. Just remember in Revenge of the Nerds, when Betty asked "Are all nerds as good as you?" Louis responded with:

Yes, because all jocks think about is sports. All we think about is sex!

Know what other John Hughes "spawn" should be turning 40 this year, my friend?

...............................You know who..................................

(So, as obsessions go, I guess I'm not a jock, but it would
seem I'm not a nerd either. I'm somewhere in between...
Such is the thought life of a die-hard FERRIS BUELLER fan.)

Nice tribute and photo to MR (the one of her and Anthony Michael Hall reminds me of a line from John Bender: "See I'm not sure if you know this, but there are two kinds of fat people: there's fat people that were born to be fat, and there's fat people that were once thin but became fat... so when you look at 'em you can sorta see that thin person inside.").

I wonder if she still has her BMW.
