Leslie Nielsen was there talking with somebody. My mother has the gumption to walk up, grab one of the charis and say, "Surely you don't mind if we borrow your chair." Unfortunatly it seems that this other person was the serious sort since Leslie didn't responded with, "Not at all, go right ahead." My mom said she was a little let down until she head him give the explination to the other guy as to why the crazy lady had just come up and asked that.
God I love my mom, that lady has balls (not literally).

Also, I know the whole blank stare at the comment that shows your age. My housemates range somewhere between four and six years my junior.

In French? The jive scene? I can't find it.

I did find a couple of scenes, though:

AIRPLANE is one of my favorites. It's even funnier, somehow, dubbed into French. I was giddy to discover that the French dub is actually on the DVD. The jive scene will leave you speechless.

(Ben Stiller's impression used to have it.)

The best PR move for Cruise right now would be for him to make his own parody video, and release it simultaneously on Leno (or, better, Kimmel) and YouTube. It would start with him calmly explaining what the original video was for, but he'd gradually get crazier and crazier, until Katie has to come in and calm him down. It would draw the biggest YouTube audience ever and generate huge goodwill for Cruise, demonstrating that he still has a sense of humor. (Which he apparently does -- just not about this.)
