March 5, 2009

JOHN: All right, Dan, time for your annual review. I've graded your performance in the band in a variety of categories. Have a look...

DAN: Whoa, wait, what? "Falling Down on Stage Right in the Middle of Our God Damn Songs" is a CATEGORY?
JOHN: Yes. Yes, it is.

JOHN: Do you dispute your score of "OFTEN, IF NOT CONSTANTLY"?

DAN: I do not...
JOHN: Moving on then...

Popularity rank 42 #212. Incorporating the band

March 2, 2009

RONI: My cousin says if we incorporate the band, we'll save money on taxes we pay on band revenue.
DAN: Whoa, cool!

RONI: Now, we could be something called a Limited Liability Corporation, or we could be something called an S-corporation.
DAN: Ooo...

RONI: An LLC would provide us with more legal protection while an S-Corporation-
DAN: -sounds, like, 20 times more badass! Let's do that one!

RONI: Well, Dan, let's not just-
DAN: Baaand, In-corr-poraaaa-aaated! B! A! N! D!
CHRISTINA: We have revenue?

Popularity rank 43 #201. Patriotic songs

January 23, 2009

JOHN: Maybe we should do something in the show tonight in honor of Obama.
DAN: Do we have any patriotic songs?

JOHN: We haven't played "Good Old Fashioned American Fingerbang" in a while.

DAN: Yeah, but that song's more ROMANTIC than patriotic really.
JOHN: Maybe.

DAN: Plus, Roni said she'd quit if we ever played it again.
JOHN: Oh, she's always SAYIN' stuff though...

January 9, 2009

CHRISTINA: And... there. THAT'S 8 measures.

DAN: Oh wow, no, then I meant NOTES, not measures. "My solo will be 8 NOTES long" is what I meant to say.

CHRISTINA: OK, well... anyway.

CHRISTINA: That's why we were all staring at you on stage.
