Chalk one up for that 70s Chick... Badges? We Don't Need No Stinking Badges!

That line came up in a conversation I was having with the New Kid on the Block at BzRehab, Ryan.

Only it wasn't a conversation....

It was a monologue...

Cause Ryan don't talk.

You can barely get sign language out of this guy....

But that's a story for a different day.

What I wanna focus on is an impressive answer to my room wide question of the source of the quote...

"Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!"

#36 on the top 100 Most Notable Movie Quotes.

And I hear from the deep dark and hot hall of BzRehab....

"It's from Blazing Saddles"...

It was from a young and confident voice of the female persuasion...

And Ding Ding....

It was right...

Winner Winner....

Chicken Dinner...

Don't know the chick with the Golden Brain...

Or at least the Mistress of Trivial Pursuit.

But I need to meet her...

Cause anybody that knows that line and where it's from is worth knowing.

Hell - she might be smarter than all the Spice Girls put together.

The original quote came from the 1927 book "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" and then appeared in 1948 in a movie of the same name starring Humphrey Bogart....

Trivia?

Yes.

Trivial?

Maybe.... To some.

Interesting?

Yes.

It's important and encouraging to have a young voice speak up with knowledge on a quote from one of the Great Cult Classics of all time.

Would've been doing back flips and cartwheels if the Oracle of BzRehab would've known the Bogie movie too.

Kinda gotta feeling she may have known and just didn't say.

There may be hope for the younger generation after all.

Just a little Discovery on my part.
