I have a very similar origin-story as you do. I fell in love with JP when it came out, read the book when I was 13, read Lost World as soon as it came out, saw the movie and was disappoint, etc. I actually like the book The Lost World better than Jurassic Park. It's a smaller story, which meant more depth into characters and less sub-plots to keep track of. The first book gets really convoluted and messy, especially in the finale. The movie is far superior in terms of plot and structure.

Sorry but that does not happen.  You, sir, have been had.

Who told you that little urban legend?  Was it Ben?

 I can't tell if you're making some meta-joke about leg-pulling, or if you just pasted a botched link, but I just get the search function for the Seattle Times (aka, the "Lying Ol' Ben" of Journalism).

Weird, don't know why the link is all fucky. here's a different source, TV Tropes.

Also, I screen-capped the first 2/3 of the article I link-faled.

Anyway, if you don't believe me, fine whatever you're full of shit too I bet.

Hahaha, I just learned about this one...

"The Santa Clause" (1994)

The theatrical and original VHS version had a scene with Tim Allen talking to his ex-wife and she gives him the phone number where she'll be spending Christmas. Allen looks at the number and makes the joke, "1-800-SPANK-ME. I know that number."

They had to cut the scene after a couple kids actually called 1-800-SPANK-ME and were redirected to a 900 number phone sex line and racked up over $500 in charges.
