Popularity rank 46 #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 47 #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.

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.
