No, I've never known anyone by that name.  I don't know if my parents have or not.  When we lived in Noel, mom and dad bought a laser disk machine and we rented disks from the local store every time dad came home.  I'll never forget the great movies we watched on that thing.  Raiders of the Lost Ark, Somewhere in Time, Night Hawks,  and... Arthur.

The funny thing is, pun intended of course, that mom and dad ever got the movie in the first place.  They didn't like Dudley Moore or Liza Minelli.  They didn't often rent comedies.  I've always assumed that they rented it only because they thought they'd like Sir John Guilgood.  Or maybe because Clash of the Titans was out of stock.  *chuckle*.

That movie became a household classic.  We knew it frontwards and backwards.  I can still recite it from beginning to end.  To this day, even in my own home when most of my children haven't seen the movie, they hear the quotes daily.  I'm not in my parents house for more than a few hours before one sails across the room like a banner of nostalgia.

"He's taking the knife out of the cheese... 'spose he wants some cheese?"

"None of the best people do."

"Cheap disgusting food."

"You have a wonderful economy with words... I look forward to your  next syllable with great eagerness."

"Steal something casual."

"Good luck in prison."

"They smile at lunchtime."

"You shouldn't hear this."

"This is a gonner."

"What about HAROLD!"

"You poor thing..."

Arthur.  It's not just for kids anymore.
