One word: Plastics
Perhaps one of the best catch-phrases of all time, created even before the concept of a catch-phrase existed.
The Graduate is a timeless classic I never tire of; from Dustin Hoffman's aimless drifting to the famous soundtrack, it's just so darn entertaining.

Buy it Now! Is California’s next savior the garage sale queen?
You have to hand it to Meg Whitman. Where most people saw old hats, used lingerie and moth-ball wigs, she envisioned a multi-billion dollar juggernaut called eBay. Who knew people would become so smitten with an online garage sale?
Next broken subject: California.

‘Planet of the Apes’ classic movie moment: It’s a madhouse… a madhouse!
Human see, human do.
Oh what a bummer when apes take away your former Playboy centerfold girlfriend 'Nova' and then proceed to relentlessly hose you down.
To boot you just crashed your spaceship, lost your voice after being shot and discovered an odd upside-down planet where said Apes rule all.
