I had no idea that puddling up wasn't a national phrase! My daddy used it a lot, but he got a LOT of phrases from his mother (Swiss heritage). Maybe that's its etymology? It doesn't seem to have a definition outside honeychileville.

But, if I were to get a little . . . watery-eyed, it would be at the end of sports movies. When Gayle Sayers makes the speech about Brian Piccolo. When the Fighting Irish carry Rudey off the field. When the Titans win the championship. When the Hoosiers win the championship. When Highland wins the championship.

Absolutely. Add when the Jamaican Bobsled team carry the sled to the finish line, and you have the ultimate sports line up!

For those of y'all who have read my retro rush thread, one of the parties that ADPi held was showing Brian's Song! Dozens of boxes of tissues, pretty trash cans, and popcorn & Cokes rounded out the party. My DH thinks it's hysterical that so many of my favorite movies are sports related.
