Nobody puts Baby in a corner

Dear God, someone save me from myself! For about an hour now, I've had the stupid resort song from "Dirty Dancing" stuck in my head. You know, "At Kellerman's the friendships last long as the mountain stands." It's driving me crazy! -- and no, I haven't seen the movie in years. But if I ever did, I bet I'd still be able to quote about half of it. I'm sure any female about my age reading this can relate -- or if you can't, you sure didn't go to many slumber parties in, what, 1987, 1988, 1989. Though I think by '89 or '90, I'd switched my favorite movie to a lesser-known Molly Ringwald flick, "For Keeps?" Don't ask me why that appealed to a 12-year-old. Thankfully, that one only lasted a summer before I was introduced to the wonders of "Ferris Beuler's Day Off" and then "The Princess Bride."

Okay, girls, how many others are there that tried to do the big "Dirty Dancing" dance lift from the end of the movie? A friend and I spent what seems like an entire summer at Centennial Beach mastering that move(much easier underwater where you can lift 100 pounds with ease and it doesn't matter if your friend falls).
