This is sort of an experiment. As they do every year, TBS is airing A Christmas Story for 24 hours, beginning at 8 PM ET on Christmas Eve. It airs every 2 hours, so jump in whenever!
I’m ready
Spoiler Alert! 
“You’ll shoot your eye out!” 
“My kid brother looked like a tick, about to pop.” 
This would be a good drinking game movie. There’s enough repetition to make it interesting, but not so much that you’d be unconscious before the movie’s over.
Ah, guilt. A punishment unto itself. Sure. Sure, it is.
I’m surprised Sean’s not watching. The actor who played Scut Farkus was in Transformers.
Aww, poor puppy. 
Never noticed that before. It says “This End Up” as they bring it in, and then they lay it on its side.
“Fra-Gee-Lay”
Behold the glory of… THE LAMP! 
“It’s a major award.”
yes, but does he have BOOBS? :eek:
“Don’t want to waste electricity.”
Even though every other light in the house was on.
“Oh FUDGE!” :eek:
now THAT’s a good mom. how many others do you know who would inflict their own punishments on themselves?
None, I know my Mom never tasted the bar of Vel that I had stuck in my mouth.
It was…soap poisoning.
And I love the grin after they start crying.
Little Orphan Annie is a stooge for corporate America?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! :eek:
Nah, I think she was just curious.
You know, before I saw this movie, I’d never heard of that before. My mom said that my grandmother used to use that as a punishment. She remembered how awful it was and decided never to inflict it on us.
Thanks Mom!
He really had a great sense of comedic timing. It’s amazing that he’s acted as little as he has.
My parents got worse punishments than soap, so I count myself lucky that was the worst I got.
And he really did have great comedic timing in this film. Kinda a shame that he decided to go into producing and not acting in more films. But then Iron Man had him as an executive producer.
