My wife's friend came over the other night with a video.  This woman actually went into a video store and rented the movie "Roadhouse" - the one featuring Patrick Swayze as a bouncer.  Naturally, I excused myself from "Oscar night" and found other stuff to do, but I was in the room briefly during a scene in which Swayze is getting patched up (no doubt after trouncing some ruffians) in a hospital.  He hands the woman his medical records, which he carries with him to save time, she opens them up and says "You went to NYU...  PHD in Philosophy..."  (at which point I expected him to say "oops, those are my transcripts....  HERE's the medical records").  Later she asks him why he lives a lifestyle that causes him to get injured so much.  He looks into her eyes and says: "Pain don't hurt."

Maybe not, but this movie sure does.  I have to think that if the head of NYU's Philosophy Department ever saw this movie (yeah, that's a big "if"), that scene would probably give him an ulcer.

How about: "Pain does hurt!"?

How about "It don't hurt to be pained."
And as Dan Quayle once intoned, "A wasted mind is a terrible thing, just terrible."--at an NAACP gathering, no less.

Some people like cupcakes better--I for one care less for them

With sorrow, he questioned and lamented the end of all things.
When he finished speaking, he dragged the skull over and, using it for a pillow, lay down to sleep.
In the night, the skull came to his dreams and said, 'You are a fool to rejoice in the entanglements of life.'
Chuang Tzu couldn`t believe this and asked, 'If I could return you to your life, you would want that, wouldn`t you?'
Stunned by Chuang Tzu`s foolishness, the skull replied, 'How do you know that it is bad to be dead?'

Nope.  He never said it.

One of my favorite quotes of all time comes from Roadhouse.  I'm subjected to the film ever so often by my wife who loves Swayze.

Doctor: "So, who won the fight?"

Swayze: "NOBODY wins a fight."

Completely corny and stupid.  I feel pain just thinking about it.

Ouch.

For my money, you can't get any better than Swayze with a kiddie porn dungeon.  Go rent Donnie Darko.

"Completely corny and stupid. I feel pain just thinking about it."

Corny and stupid, and totally refuted by the whole rest of the movie in which Swayze wins fight after fight after fight, getting the girl and making good in the end.  I hate movies that belabor some "lesson" and then flush it down the toilet two seconds later.

Umm, no. She's about to give him a local anesthetic before stapling his wound closed and he says "No thanks", I believe she then tells him that it's going to hurt and that's when he says "Pain don't hurt". :)
