These quotes must be from a movie, but what one?

one of out teachers/mentors is mr campbell..and we started compiling a list of "campbellisms"

"Boom boom ouch is a bad thing!"

"I'm just going to take my box of puff tissues and go next door and cry"

"We can hand out Puffs to the other teams so they can wipe the tears out of their eyes after we beat them!
We can hand out Puffs to teams crying for joy after we choose them to go to the finals with us!"

"No, your wrong, it works fine!"

"we needed this done like yesterday"

"The campbell way is the right way"

'They call me Dave Campbell, Master of the Obvious, nothing gets by me!'

"Ive been trying to teach my daughter not to use bad words like stupidhead and idiot. I tell her to say Farmer instead..."
(This with Norm standing right there....) (norm, for who stormin norman was named after, is a farmer and one of our most beloved mentors)


"Oh, this is bad, I need to run and extra 4 miles tomorrow." The whole time slamming down cookies and psuedo mud pie dessert.


and when asked by an unnamed member for his favorite campbellism, his response: "BEER AND CHICKEN!" (why..nobody as yet to figure it out..since campbell has never, probably, said beer in his life)

[MacFlightSierra]

"Mr. Wong can stretch steel chain"

-- it took one of our mentors 5 seconds to put the last drive chain on, after the team tried to do it for an hour
