4. When I see "fire it up" I hear the voice of the weird guy in The Crow

who said it a lot.

8. In the move The Crow one of the odd little bad guys said it a lot

Every time I see the phrase I still hear his voice saying it. So the phrase as a political motivator doesn't resonate with me.

13. The lead actor (Brandon Lee) was killed on set during the filming

If you like very dark quirky movies it might be of interest. The casting was perfect. Hence my memory of the little weird bad guy and what he said...

6. Reminds me of Vietnam where they use giant flame throwers

to light the forest and enemy on fire.

7. I clicked on the wrong choice

I say Turn Up the Heat, then throw a few repukes on the bonfire. Tear the limbs off some of the others and use them to beat the rest like a rented mule

12. But don't you have to fire it up first?

Edited on Sun Nov-11-07 01:50 AM by calteacherguy

Before you turn up the heat?

Edit: Perhaps subconsciously you understood that, thus the "errant" click.

14. Hillary's had a fire going all her life

Obama is still rubbing sticks together (someone needs to tell him that's not how it's done)

15. Someone needs to tell Hillary to come up with original campaign slogans

Edited on Sun Nov-11-07 03:20 AM by calteacherguy

not half-baked ones inspired by her opponents.

16. Fire It Up = Rick James song about smoking weed (link added)

Great music! But not so good for Obama.

19. I voted for "Fire it Up!"

Edited on Sun Nov-11-07 03:17 PM by ariesgem

Clinton's new slogan, "Turn up the heat! Turn America around!", lacks in rhythm, flow or creativity. It's a lame ripoff of "Fire it up!".

20. Turn up the Heat?! What an odd slogan to use this time of year...

It just makes me think of our outrageous heat bill. And how we can barely afford to keep warm.
