#369. Signing Shukri

April 26, 2010

BART: Joel, now that this Twilight kid's single hit number one, I'd like you to sign his new girlfriend, Shukri.
JOEL: Does... (sigh) Does she have any musical talent?
BART: No, but she's got a great story!
BART: She's an African orphan, adopted and brought to America by popstar Kevin Edo, who she then dated. She's got buzz and major star power.
SHUKRI: And I have an amazing rack.
JOEL: I thought she was dating Robert Pattinson?
BART: She was. From 2pm to 2:30. It's over.
AYOK: Sxbl.

#370. Free of the shackles

April 28, 2010

DAN: You happy to be free of the shackles of the dayjob?
JOHN: Oh yeah, man.
JOHN: And my settlement checks are even bigger than they were before, so I'm gonna donate some stuff to one of them starving African orphan kids.
JOHN: They say they need the essentials, so I'm thinking some Beatles CDs, some Stones, maybe early Bowie...
DAN: What about... FOOD?
JOHN: Um... sure, I could eat.

#371. Creepy but noble

April 30, 2010

PETER: Well, for what it's worth, I think adopting that hot 19-year-old orphan was, though CREEPY, sort of NOBLE.
KEVIN: Yeah, I think, in the end, I'm just not fit for organized charity.
PETER: So no more do-gooding?
KEVIN: Oh no, I just need to get back to how I USED to help people.
PETER: How's that?
KEVIN: Having sex with the disadvantaged, man.
PETER: You're one of the good ones, Kev.
