It ain’t about the Benjamins.  Flash them dimes, yo!

Cash strapped
A little short on the greenbacks
Thats what its like
Growin up in the cul de sacs

Mobbin’ to the bell, we’re gettin something to eat
Have my shorties countin’ dimes ’cause todays my treat
I’m a big dog, my pockets full of change
Throw the dimes in the air, kid, I’m makin’ it rain

It’s all about the Roosevelts, baby
Flash them dimes, 79, 89, 99
It’s all about the Roosevelts, baby
Give me tacos and nachos and what’s yours

Pockets empty, wallets looking lean
Paper money’s out, silvers our new green.
Cruisin’ to the bell, we’re rolling cars three deep
Coinage in the glove box, dimes under the seat
I’m like a banker, always rollin’ with change
I ain’t a player, I’m just playing the game.

It’s all about the Roosevelts, baby
Flash them dimes, 79, 89, 99
It’s all about the Roosevelts.

I would normally just borrow DVDs from the library rather than buy them.  But I cannot pass up Kung Fu Panda on sale at Target for $5.50 ( … one week later, Target reduced the price further to $4.75… Doh! ).  We must have watched the movie six or seven times over the weekend.

When it comes to animation, PIXAR is tops.  But in IMO, this DreamWorks masterpiece of the fat panda is up there in quality.  The story was not ground-breaking, but it was all-out fun.  The comedic value is outstanding.

Some quotes from the movie:

“There is no charge for awesomeness. Or attractiveness.” - Dragon Warrior in Po’s dream.

“Actually, when I was young and crazy, I dreamed of running away and learning how to make tofu.” - Mr. Ping, Po’s foster father, reminiscing of what could have been, but digresses afterwards for he is the noodle man.

“Quit, don’t quit. Noodles, don’t noodles. You are too concerned with what was, and what will be. There is a saying. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.” - Master Oogway advising a dejected Po.

“The true path to victory is to find your opponent’s weakness, and make him suffer for it!” - Master Shifu, while beating up Po.

“But a real warrior never quits! Don’t worry, Master, I will never quit!” - Po, while getting beaten to a pulp by Master Shifu.
