I've always thought that I have a pretty good grasp on popular culture and yet I've only seen A Christmas Story once. In Elementary school during class. I didn't even remember the movie until I read about it in this thread. In fact, I don't even know anything about the plot or characters (although I do remember one scene that invlolved a child getting a whuppin' because he was blamed for teaching a kid curse words...or something). Judging by some of the posts I've been reading, this appears to be a huge cultural phenomenon that has simply passed me by. No matter. Sometimes this just happens. I seem to be the only person left on Earth who hasn't seen Pirates of the Caribbean yet (either one) and I don't feel sheltered or inadequate in any way.
A quick scroll through my satellite listings and I see A Christmas Story playing on five different channels. How did I miss out on this again?
