Hmmm, apparently the phrase "Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!", which is a line from a movie, is a bit more well known on this side of the Atlantic. As soon as I saw a thread called "my new badges", that line was the first thing that popped into my head. Actually, I'm rather proud of my self-control for waiting until the thread was several pages deep before finally giving in to temptation...

Well done I'm pleased your pleased,now give yourself a pat on the back.
Now tell me more about this Movie.(please)

Sounds a bit James Cagney "esque" to me zooooom must be from some sort of gangster movie. Not something we Brits with our period costume dramas are overly familiar with. Ah the joys of cross cultural exploration!

M · Mar 7th, 2002, 12:16 PM

Nice badges Zooooom!

I reckon they'd look good on Blue and white, maybe on my Pepper White when it arrives?

Driva56 · Mar 7th, 2002, 12:52 PM

The movie is Mel Brooks "Blazing Saddles." BTW: Wierd Al Yankovic's terrible (but funny) film "UHF" includes a parody on the line, substituting badgers for badges.

M · Mar 7th, 2002, 12:56 PM

Weird Al Yankovic as in "Eat It"? Didn't know he made films!

Driva56 · Mar 7th, 2002, 12:58 PM

Just that one, thank goodness.

M · Mar 7th, 2002, 01:10 PM

Guess it was kind of weird then?

Can't help notice where you come from driva56 is Wonder Lake a town or indeed a real lake?

Driva56 · Mar 7th, 2002, 01:17 PM

It's both, actually. If you're really interested, you can find out more here: http://user.mc.net/~dwonder/wlake/wlake.htm

I'm about 60 miles from Chicago, Illinois and 45 from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

M · Mar 7th, 2002, 01:25 PM

Nice link, very green looking town you live in, like the old black and whites of building the lake.

By the way have you seen Zooooom's badges??

It's originally from an old Bogart flick called "Treasure of the Sierra Madre", and it has been recycled endlessly since then. For a more detailed history (really), check out: www.darryl.com/badges/

They also do a badge with just the UJ that was only £8.00
