#338. The scrapbooking menace

January 18, 2010

DAN: These scrapbookers think they're these creative GENIUSES, but they don't know how to use the EQUIPMENT, even though they need it to make their "art".
DAN: They make us do ALL the work, for something THEY take all the credit for, and they treat us like SHIT while they do it. It's... it's HORRIBLE, man.
DAN: They're like... a lead singer in a band.
JOHN: Like me in our band?
DAN: Well, like you, but like you if you weren't so BADASS...
JOHN: That DOES sound scary...

January 27, 2010

CECE: Mr. Edo, I'm afraid you can't adopt the girl you saw in the background of our commercial. Her parents are ALIVE.

CECE: But we have plenty of other kids who need homes.
KEVIN: OK, but... How can I say this DELICATELY... are any of the other kids, like... HOT 19-year-old GIRLS?
CECE: Mr. Edo. This charity's focus is to find celebrity homes for underprivileged orphans!
CECE: So... yes, of COURSE. Here's a book of our SEXIEST kids...
