<p>Have any of our blog readers heard of a little “Cult Movie” called <strong><em>Bill &amp; Ted’s Excellent Adventure</em></strong>? The website, <strong><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096928/" target="_blank">Internet Movie Database</a></strong> describes the plot as,<em> “Two seemingly dumb teens struggle to prepare a historical presentation with the help of a time machine.”</em> I suppose as single sentence movie summaries go, that is fairly accurate. Filmed in 1989 (with significant segments shot right here in the Valley of the Sun) this little gem of a flick is probably best known for helping to launch the career of Keanu Reeves and for making <strong><em>“Be excellent to each other!”</em></strong> a minor catchphrase of the late 1980’s.</p><p><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096928/"><img src="http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/8114/billted.jpg" width="199" height="298" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>(You know you'd like to revisit the 80's right?)</strong></p> <p>Now many people smarter than us have tried to form some deep philosophical meaning about the phrase<strong><em> “Be excellent to each other!”</em></strong>, how it relates to the late 1980’s, the political environment of the time, the sociological implications of materialism and teenage angst, etc. &nbsp;Here at Glendale Pawn &amp; Jewelry such deep thoughts tend to give us a headache similar to a classic “Brain Freeze” from eating ice cream too fast.&nbsp; So here is the official opinion from Glendale Pawn and Jewelry on the importance of the buzz phrase from the late 1980’s (that has an Arizona connection) commonly known as<strong><em> “Be excellent to each other!”</em></strong></p> <p><strong>Official opinion:<em> It’s what we believe in, here at Glendale Pawn &amp; Jewelry</em></strong></p> <p>We believe in phenomenal customer service and being excellent to everyone that comes through our door or shops online with us.</p> <p>We believe that “Team” is not just a buzzword…it’s who we are…because teamwork results in excellence for our staff and customers.</p> <p>We believe that we have an obligation to our community and by being excellent to those whose lives we touch, perhaps they too will be excellent to someone and the circle will continue.</p> <p>Wow…that was rather deep for us? Guess we are capable of competing with all the well known philosophers from the 1980’s after all? (As if there are any well known philosophers from the 1980’s)</p> <p>Okay, here’s our suggestion for this blog post. Go get yourself a DVD copy of Bill &amp; Ted’s Excellent Adventure, (we may have one around here somewhere…) pop it into your home theater system, have the beverage of your choice and give some thought on being excellent to each other. No home theater system? <strong>We can help with that too…(click below)</strong></p><p><strong><img src="http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/4654/3273371.jpg" width="300" height="225" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /><br /></strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Need a good start on a home theater system?</strong></p> <p><strong>…and remember, BE EXCELLENT TO EACH OTHER!</strong></p> <p><strong>Thanks for stopping by,</strong></p> <p><strong>gpawn</strong></p><p><strong><img src="http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/4360/gpawnavatar.jpg" width="100" height="125" /><br /></strong></p> <p>Tags: Bill and Ted's excellent adventure, Keanu, Pawn Shops</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
