Popularity rank 61 #107. Survey result graphics on MySpace

February 20, 2006

DAN: Look what I put on our MySpace page.... I took a survey, see, I'm 45% redneck. And, here, of all the Muppets, I'm most like Gonzo. Ha! I bet our fans love this stuff....

RONI: We don't have FANS, Dan. And unprofessional crap isn't helping us get any.
DAN: Melanie's sort of like a "fan".

RONI: Your little crush came to ONE show. And she could give a fuck about which Golden Girl you're most like.
DAN: I bet Melanie's very interested to know I'm a "Rose"!

DAN: And I don't have a CRUSH on her.... "Dorothy"....

Popularity rank 62 #106. MySpace age

February 17, 2006

DAN: Some cute girl sent us a MySpace message. Can I add her as a friend?
JOHN: Not so fast... What'd she put as her age?

DAN: Well... I mean, it says 99. But--
JOHN: No, no, no. No way. No.

DAN: Come on! Heh, you know, like, she's probably, like, 23, right? But, heh, she puts 99, and like... like....

DAN: (sigh) Yeah, I guess it's not funny.
JOHN: Standards, Dan. Fake 99-year-olds don't get adds.

Popularity rank 63 #105. Meeting MySpace friends

February 16, 2006

JOHN: OK, click there to ask them to be our friend on MySpace.
DAN: But they're not our friend.

JOHN: That's OK, just ask.
DAN: Shouldn't I send them a message first?

JOHN: No, we wait until they accept us, then we post a comment that says, "Thanks for the add."
DAN: Do we ever actually talk with them?

JOHN: No, no, you see, Dan, MySpace is what's known as an "anti-social network".
DAN: So this cuts all the... interaction out of friendship.

Popularity rank 64 #101. Plugging parties on MySpace

February 10, 2006

JOHN: You can't post your party on the myspace page, Dan. It's for band business only.
DAN: You posted last week about your brother's barbeque.

JOHN: Totes different situaish, dude. That... that was an official Ambulance Men CD release party.
DAN: What... that one CD you gave Gary?

JOHN: One CD can be enough, Dan! File-sharing! Word-of-mouth! Look at the Arctic Monkeys!
DAN: But... it was just a mix CD of Elvis Costello songs.

JOHN: (sigh) OK, look, Dan... your parties tend to be lametown. And it... it could reflect poorly on the band.
DAN: No, no! I told you: No Cranium this year!

Popularity rank 65 #97. The “Next Level” Talk

February 6, 2006

JOHN: OK, band meeting, guys. Right here, right now...
RONI: (sigh) This is a practice, John... it IS a band meeting.

JOHN: Look... guys... we need to step it up...
DAN: What's going on?
RONI: Oh, it's the "Next Level" talk.

JOHN: It's time we become the band we're destined to become.
DAN: Oh, man, Roni, I hate the "Next Level" talk.
RONI: Yeah....

JOHN: The Ambulance Man... NED TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL!
CHRISTINA: Still... better than the "Put Up or Shut Up" talk.
RONI: Sure.
DAN: True.
