Whatever happened to quicksand?

[The Blowhard]

Think about it: when was the last time you saw quicksand in a movie or tv show? From Tarzan movies to horror flicks, quicksand was everywhere back in the day, now you never see it. What the heck happened to quicksand?

[jauble]

It outsourced for concrete sorry for your loss.

[Devo37]

nowadays, all of the mom-n-pop quicksand has been replaced by corporate, $20-a-gallon, gourmet quicksand.

man, i miss the old days.

[sailor]

it got old and lost a step.

[PapaBear]

Quicksand jumped the shark on Gilligan's Island.

A 3:17 AM post about quicksand?

I wish I had your meds.

[Team_Ramrod]

Quicksand is no longer believable in movies. The 2 biggest reasons it isn't used is because the rapid demise of the rainforests has made vines pricey commodity. Secondly, we've learned that staying calm and moving slowly in quicksand would keep us afloat long enough to reach solid ground.

We are just a smarter generation than those who have come before us, this is why we need our movies to be more realistic. This is also why we buy corporate.

That made me so extremely uncomfortable I had to turn it off after she pulled her hands back out. I have the creepy crawlies. I always had a huge fear of quicksand ever since that horse got pulled down in the Neverending Story. I can NOT watch that movie because of it.

A European bank, RBS, uses quicksand in one of its commercials

And, metaphorically at least, what do you think we're stuck in in Iraq? :down:

[IamFogHat]

Blowhard posts here? And since 2001?

[AnnoyedGrunt]

I was wondering the same thing a few months ago, yet I was born in the 80's. Should I seek help?

[fezident]

Sinking in quicksand was aaalmost as common as getting hit with a rolling pin.

[DiabloSammich]

Yet another side effect of global warming.

Listen, you wisenheimer! If I ever see you sinking in quicksand I'm tossing you a cinderblock. How do you like them apples? I'm gonna enjoy watching that last breath when your head sinks and that giant air bubble appears.

And yes, Foghat, I've been here on the board since 2001. I put this place on the map, and I'm still waiting for my Hall of Fame statue from Mikeyboy.

And what about soufflé humor. That doesn't exist anymore, either.

[Tall_James]

And what about the funny drunk? The Otis'es, the Foster Brooks?

I actually saw someone with one of those drunks hanging on to a lampposts in front of their home the other day. Looked like it had been there since 1963.

When was the last time there was a reference to "Kansas City Faggots" in a movie or TV show?

They use it quite frequently in "According to Jim".
