Sorry to make so many posts on this thread, but this has really captured my imagination & caused me to make a number of associations that have me laughing my head off. Which is good, coz what's been going on of late has sent me into a nearly catatonic depression.

For example, one of the movies I loved most as a child was about a poor, put-upon transwoman in Paris who was mercilessly mocked, marginalized & physically abused.

But Quasimama got back at her tormentors in a memorable scene where from on high in her digs in the belfry (aka the penthouse) of Notre Dame Cathedral, she pelts the mob of pitchfork-wielding transphobes & TERFs assembled below with her fecal matter.

At first, she rains her excrement down on them in solid cuboid form she's baked using oversized molds. (This is how the term "shitting a brick" originated.) But halfway through the scene (circa 2:30), Quasimama realizes that to really get the haters for all their aggressions - large, small, micro, negligible, non-existent & wholly imaginary - she's got to pull out the big guns: a huge vat of diarrhea brought to near boiling point, which she dumps out so that it spews out the drainpipes that come out of the mouths of the gargoyles:

Note that at the end, gleeful Quasi in her cute minidress twirls so the skirt goes spinny.

You're killing me, and you've been on a roll. After seeing about your dilemma a few weeks back, I've hoped to hear something positive coming your way.

Glad to give you a laugh. Your user name gave me a chuckle. As a kid I used to say "pissghetti." Couldn't say "breakfast" either - it came out like "ferris" only with a B.

Those are the two that seem to trip kids up the most, and my grandmother still has problems with saying "Massachusetts." My son still goofs up on a few, and I'll miss the days when he won't anymore like I do for my daughter.

It was from "What We Do in the Shadows." That scene from the movie gets me every time.
