Clue #2 (we’re celebrating something big!)
Okay, for those of you who have been guessing, wildly, about what we’re celebrating…
NO. Nobody is having a baby.
Here’s a few pieces of random pop culture trivia cleverly disguised as a clue:
- The script was written in six days.
- The main characters, teenagers all, were portrayed by actors from age 19 to 29.
- It heavily featured a cheap car made over with fiberglass to look like a…not so cheap car.
- It was about truancy.
- It contains the phrase, “a righteous dude.”
Who would have expected a movie with these vital stats to turn into a film icon?
But it is.
‘Cuz you know exactly what movie I’m talking about, don’t you?
That’s right, Ferris Bueller was absent from school nine times. And I think we can all agree, even without knowing what he was doing for the first eight, number nine was the most spectacular of them all.
We here at Mack Web Solutions are big fans of our buddy Ferris. We’ve learned a lot from him:
- Sometimes brilliance only takes six days and the right combination of people.
- Work with what you got. Make it better. Waste not, want not.
- And though Ferris may have been truant, he was always in the right place, nevertheless. Sometimes knowing what’s truly important means that instead of listening to Ben Stein drone on about economics in the 1930s, you get to catch a baseball game, lead the crowd in a rendition of Twist & Shout from a parade float, and eat pancreas as Abe Froman, the Sausage King of Chicago. Which would you rather do?
- And, finally, strive always to be a righteous dude. It’s the way to take your place among icons.
And here’s your next cryptic hint: If eight are great, number nine is going to be just fine…
