Pop! Quiz: What is birthday boy John Waters' single greatest contribution to the universe?

This is a Pop! Quiz very dear to my heart, because I adore filmmaker/actor/artist John Waters, who turns 62 years filthy today.

Rather than just yell out the window and hope that he hears me, I thought that I'd open up a forum for folks to share their own favorite John Waters moments, as there are so many to choose from.

Would it be the enduring legacy of Divine? Would it be the onscreen eating of dog poop, or eggs in a playpen? Or maybe it's bringing the term "teabagging" to the mainstream ... or at least to the mainstream that matters. (snap!)

For me Waters' genius at its most distilled is a single line from his brilliantly black comedy Serial Mom that has no doubt spurred millions of crank calls globally (Dottie Hinkle, you know what you did...). But since I can't actually print it here, I'll settle for my second-favorite line from the film, which I have a tendency to use whenever I try a new recipe:

"Ladies and gentelemen ... the perfect ... meatloaf."

So that's mine. Anyone care to share their favorite John Waters moments, onscreen or off?
