Popularity rank 71 #60. Roni sets priorities

October 27, 2005

RONI: No way, our rehearsal can't end at 3am. I'll be dead at work the next day.
JOHN: A ha! So we see where your priorities are, Roni!

RONI: Yes, John! I prioritize the job that I LOVE, that pays my RENT, over a hobby of mine that I ENJOY but that doesn't CONSUME me like it does YOU, you SELF-ABSORBED, CLUELESS ASSHOLE!

SOUND EFFECT: SLAM!

DAN: Whoa. She used the H-word.
JOHN: "H-... hobby"?

Popularity rank 72 #59. Married people can’t do weekends

October 26, 2005

CHRISTINA: I... I can't rehearse on Fridays.
RONI: You married people are so protective of your weekends.
JOHN: Heh. Maybe that's when their sex is scheduled.
DAN: Heh.

CHRISTINA: N-no... the only scheduled sex we have is after these band rehearsals. Playing drums sort of... sort of "gets me going."

DAN: Christina.... Ew.

DAN: Well, rehearsal on any day feels weird now....
CHRISTINA: I think it's that double foot pedal.
JOHN: Roni.... Does she stare at my butt while I sing?
RONI: No one EVER stares at your butt, John.

Popularity rank 73 #58. Late because of TV

October 25, 2005

JOHN: You're late because of a TV SHOW? That's B.S., dude!
DAN: Nothin' I can do, man. You're the one who wants to rehearse on Wednesday.

JOHN: You obviously don't CARE about this band, Dan!
DAN: YOU'VE obviously never seen "Lost", John!

JOHN: Look, Wednesday's the ONLY day we're all free.
RONI: No, WE'RE all free Monday, but you have your "dance" class.

JOHN: CAPOEIRA is not "dance", Roni!
RONI: Did they find Walt?
DAN: No. It was mostly Korean stuff. Also, Locke said "lost" a lot.

Popularity rank 74 #28. We are not a beard band.

June 21, 2005

DAN: I'm not growing a beard. I just didn't shave this weekend.
JOHN: Well, good. Because we're not really a beard band.

JOHN: The Sadies, Widespread Panic, that dude in Built to Spill, those guys can rock out beards. We can't.

DAN: What about Coldplay? They have beards sometimes.
JOHN: Well, they shouldn't. Guys in Coldplay should be rockin'... sideburns... or maybe some well-trimmed muttonchops. Maybe.

DAN: What about my Jew 'fro.
JOHN: Your Jew 'fro rules. Gives us that Mars Volta vibe.

Popularity rank 75 #27. The day job is taking over your life

June 14, 2005

JOHN: You're skipping band practice? I'm starting to think this "day job" is becoming a career, Dan!
DAN: John, I work at Kinko's. It's not a career, dude....

JOHN: You just have fun in this life you've chosen, Dan. Enjoy your "job"! And your "comfort"! Your "picket fences" and "minivans"!
DAN: It's one practice, John!

DAN: Whatever, man, look, you still want me to pass along your resume?
JOHN: Yes I do!

JOHN: And maybe make a few copies on that cool marbled paper, too....
DAN: You officially now owe my, like, a billion dollars, by the way....
