[Dennis Markham]

I've heard that Matt.  Also, "That's the cat's meow!"

[HobieSport]

Anyways, meanwhile, back at Marks' contest, time is running out and I really don't have the slightest idea, and I thought I knew movies pretty well.  Apologies for going on a tangent, Mark.  It will be fun to learn the correct answer.  Of course I'll then have to watch the movie!

[Mark Stevens]

The Cats' Pajamas?

What?!

Sorry, Mark, just a joke.  I should have winked.  Have you never heard that phrase, "The Cat's Pajamas?".  It's a flapper term from the 1920s.  It meant something good and enjoyable.  As in, "How was your date with Joe?"  "Oh, It was just the cats' pajamas!".
I'll try to contain my silly sense of humor, but it's difficult.

I'm familiar with the expression, but I thought it must also be the name of a movie...do you have any idea how long I Googled "Cat's Pajamas" in search of a movie?!!!   
(I'll forgive you if you come up with the correct answer!)

Since you brought it up, what the heck does 23 Skidoo mean, anyway?

Mr Deeds Goes to Town

[McHeath]

You guys are scarin' me with all this old movie knowledge.   

[Dan/Panther]

I agree McHeath, it's just not natural...They're skeeerin me.
D/P

[HobieSport]

Nah, It's perfectly natural to be interested in old movies for one very good reason:
They're full of old telephones!  Now, is all this interest in old telephones natural?  Hmm.  Ya got me there.

[Dan/Panther]

My stepson used to work at Blockbuster video, and if I would ask him about a certain movie, he could quote the back of the DVD case word for word.  Hundreds of them.... Now that's scary.
