Popularity rank 42 #162. Whole Point of Running a Contest

May 16, 2007

JOHN: OK, let's use this rehearsal time to go over decorations for the band contest. First, the streamers...
RONI: Jesus, we haven't rehearsed in weeks!

RONI: I though the whole point of running this contest was to have more time to play our music!
JOHN: Wow, Roni, I... I'm sorry.

JOHN: You were way off on that.

JOHN: Now, who has the glue gun?
CHRISTINA: What do you think of this taupe for the gift bags?
DAN: Ooo...
RONI: When did you all... Voltron into Tim Gunn?

Popularity rank 43 #158. Ride Home From The Contest

December 15, 2006

JOHN: "Show of hands".... Pfft.... It's a fucking unscientific way to decide a band contest.
DAN: That bartender was cute, right?
CHRISTINA: She was, yeah.

DAN: Think she liked me?
CHRISTINA: I dunno, Danny. I mean, she never talked to you. Or looked directly at you.

JOHN: I mean, the guy running the contest was in the winning band! That's bullshit!
RONI: John, we just didn't bring enough people. That's it.

JOHN: We should contact the Better Business Bureau.
RONI: Yeah, I'll call "Fox 5 On Our Side".
DAN: Maybe she was gay.
CHRISTINA: I bet she was, sweetie.

Popularity rank 45 #111. Shutting off the MySpace page

February 24, 2006

JOHN: OK, band meeting. I'm shutting off our MySpace account.
RONI: Thank GOD.

JOHN: It was tearing the Ambulance Men apart. And distracting us from more important things.
RONI: Like, actually practicing ever?

JOHN: Also... this 15-year-old sent us a... photo of herself, and I got really creeped out.

DAN: What was she--
JOHN: I don't wanna talk about it.
CHRISTINA: MySpace IS creepy... feels like the whole site's covered with a clear, sticky film....
