#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'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...
