This week’s assignment from the League: Who cried when Old Yeller got shot?

who cried when old yeller got shot?

Okay, the League has had a week off to replenish those creative cells, and you’re going to need all that energy to survive this week’s challenge:

—-

Who cried when Old Yeller got shot? What movie, TV show, book, etc. turns you into a blubbering baby every time you see it?

—-

We are not here to judge — of course you are a manly man or a stoic woman, but we all have our kryptonite, so get out those hankies and let’s discuss.

Once you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Next Monday, I will put up a post here on Cool & Collected with a list of all the contributing blogs. Once that list is posted, if you haven’t already done so, try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote on your site.

By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!

 

(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for joining The League.)

    I’ll have to think on this one; everything makes me cry 🙂 All Dogs to Heaven is the first time I cried in a movie theatre, ET still makes me cry, jeez, I will have to think about this, tons of stuff gets me all weepy…

      Ha! I forgot that reference entirely. That headline is actually from another 80’s gem. Anyone?
