Christmas is over, and I watched A Christmas Story about ten times as usual. I've been toying with the idea of making a short trivia book about the movie. Here is the first question to start it off. It's kind of easy.

Which tire goes flat on the ride home from getting a Christmas tree?

Right front. Now maybe you'll answer our question in the GCC forum?

AG gets it right. Unfortauntely there is no prize!

Next question:

How many times is the sentence "You'll shoot your eye out" uttered by someone in the movie, and how many different characters say it?

Unfor"taunt"ely

Please know RR that I'm not poking fun at the spelling...just the glaring Freudian slip!

5? Mom, Teacher Miss Shields, and Santa

Nice one AOR, I didn't notice that.

Smiley, When Mom asks what he wants and he blurts it out she says it once and that narrator repeats it so that is 2

In the classroom when he reads his grade of C+ he says it for #3, then Miss Shields and his Mom taunt him and say it twice for 4 and 5.

Santa doesn't count, he adds the word kid at the end of the sentence.

So you got the number right, but no Santa.

Next question.........

What soap does Ralphie go blind from?

Palmolive.....So that question still awaits you in the GCC forum ReindeerRob. Thanks, MPNA

Rob,

Perhaps you feel comfortable answering this question......What was Ralphies preferred soap to eat? Thanks, MPNA

It seems that there is more than one person in this thread who, like me, was an avid Shepherd listener in his youth. Can anyone state what brief role the author of this film played in that work?

He was the voice of Ralphie as an adult. Thanks, MPNA
