Awesome movie. Many people consider it to be "cliche" following generic prison plots, but it was based on King's novel, which came out in the 80's people! Also, Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins, and James Whitmore (as Brooks) were brilliant.

While doing a girl from behind, you take a small spoon and start gingerly digging at her asshole. When she, most likely shocked, looks back to see what the hell is going on, you briskly hold up a poster of Rita Hayworth.

SHAWshank redemption is the act of USC quarterback Conner Shaw coming in off the bench and going beast mode at a critical time to engineer an unforeseen and unpredictable victory over a top 5 team on national television.
Dean "There is no way we can win this game , it's 17-0 after 3 quarters. It sucks that Shaw is too injured to play tonight"
Matt " I hope he is too injured , the last thing I wanna see is a SHAWshank redemption"
