Goose bumps
I love it when I get goose bumps while watching a movie. It is one of my favorite things. I get them all the time. But here are some memorable goose bumps:
- When in You've Got Mail, Tom Hanks says "Don't cry, shop girl."
- In The Rock when Nicholas Cage is falling to his knees waiving the green flares.
- In Independence Day when Will Smith and Jeff Goldbloom are walking away from the wreckage of the alien space ship smoking cigars.
- When the kid in Love Actually is running through the airport.
But those are nothing compared to real life goose bumps. Well, a fellow CC student posted a video of him proposing to his girlfriend and it is like a movie but it is real and so sweet and I just love it. And every time I watch it I get goose bumps. I wish I could have been there!

Peter, you don't really need to tell everyone on my website when you poop.
Thanks, though.

Nice link! Goosebumps, laughter, and tears welling up for me, and I don't even know those people. Love the song, too; one of Stephin Merritt's most beautiful, least snarky tunes. I sing my kids to sleep with it sometimes.
The Rock and Independence Day leave me cold.

What about when paraprofs team up to tandem bowl?

I think this post is the nicest review The Rock has ever gotten. Possibly Independence Day too.

You know what else gives me goosebumps? ... The barking ghost.
It's a bad dog, a really BAD dog.

Also: what stuns me about the marriage proposal is that CC student's guts (are we keeping him anonymous?)... If movies have taught us anything, it's that the answer to a marriage proposal is usually either "Give me time to think about it," or "Yes, but I'm going to leave you at the altar, because I am in love with Spiderman."
Think what would have happened if she said "no"!

I don't think she would have said 'no' in front of all those people. She would have at least waited till later to turn him down. I hope!

the tandem bowl that led to a strike most definitely gave me the goosebumps.
that was aMAZing.

Correction: led to TWO strikes, which were nearly simultaneous

A really fun thing to do is to stage fake marriage proposals in public places, and always have the girl say no. You wouldn't believe how upset people get!

it's also fun to get into a huge fake fight at a fancy restaurant after you've paid, and have the girl throw water all over you and storm out while you just sit the awkwardly. it's funny
Kate the Quiet

Yeah right, Peter. A "fake" fight. Nice try.

I suggest we implement a combination of the two ideas: a marriage proposal gone awry leads to a yelling match and water fight...
Or, we take it a step further. Instead of a fancy restaurant, we do it at a fast-food place, and instead of water, we use soda, and perhaps even throw a hamburger in the mix, or for the less carnivorically inclined, a salad.

I like where you are going with this Omer. But instead of a fast-food place we should do it in our living room. And instead of a soda and salad we should use a bat.

An interesting idea... I'll be the proposee if you're the proposer!

Actually, you guys, this sounds awesome! (Aside from the bat idea, which is fine, I guess.) Let's stage some horrible public proposals downtown before the end of the semester!
What's worse then having your marriage proposal rejected? Having your marriage proposal rejected right before Christmas!
Boatswain The Fool

Agreed, Poppy. We should plan this and enact it -- this weekend?
And, who's in?

I'm "in" in that I want you to do this and put it on YouTube where I can watch it from the safety of my home.
Bonus points if you can involve Santa and/or elves.
Also, I remembered today my most tear-jerking not-good-movie-moment: near the end of Dances With Wolves when Kevin Costner's Indian buddy appears on the ridge and calls out "Dances With Wolves. I am Wind In His Hair. Do you see that I am your friend? Can you see that you will always be my friend?" (quote from IMDB).

I'm in!

I'm sorry, I can't get behind this plan. Seeing as how watching this video of two people getting engaged absolutely made my day, I think seeing some one propose and get rejected could absolutely ruin my day. I don't want to do that to people. Get their hopes up and then just crush them? I won't do it.
Sorry to be a party pooper. I don't think it would be funny. I think it would be mean.
But I would be willing to stage elaborate, incredibly public proposals where the girl (or the proposed) says yes. Now that would be great!
And I want it to be known that the four movies I mentioned are all great movies. Not good non-good movies.

1.love actually = good.

Okay, how about we stage some rejections and some acceptances? I'm in, of course.

What do you think of Poppy's idea, Benjamin? I'm definitely in. We should meet and plan... tomorrow (= Saturday)? Early afternoon?

Is it too late to stage fake proposals and acceptances/rejections? How about a faux divorce-papers scenario?
The Anonymous Poppy

Well, I guess I'd still be interested in doing it tomorrow. (I hadn't really planned on being here this long, so I had kind of considered last weekend the last chance!) My brother is coming into town tomorrow afternoon and he might be interested in participating. Particularly if it involves serving fake divorce papers!
Who else would be interested?

Well, now I will comment on this four years after the fact, but I totally agree about You've Got Mail!!! (Love Actually also, but not as enthusiastically!)
