Okay.

You are the SECOND person to light me up over that!

I have no clue who R. Lee Ermey is.

*I* heard that quote more than 20 years ago at the hands of a former Special Forces NCO. It's a thing HE used to say, ( still DOES ) and I have used it since wher approptiate. Usually at misbehaving childfren.

So be a friend and clue me.

Full Metal Jacket
a movie by Stanley Kubrick.

R Lee Ermey was cast as a Marine DI
thing is, he WAS a DI during the Vietnam War, so he really lit up the screen.

somewhere around here I have a link to a prank-call automated system which has, among other notable and amusing quips, a vast store of R Lee Ermeyisms.

I'll see if I can find it.
