Popularity rank 16 #54. Office guy was in a band

October 19, 2005

PAT: So you're in a band, huh? I was in a band back in the day. Toured some with the Crue. Crazy times, man.

PAT: Once, on this wicked meth trip, I thought these two chicks WERE cymbals. I pulled a gun on our manager, made him beat them with drumsticks for hours while we mainlined paprika and cried.

PAT: Crazy times....

PAT: So anyway, I upgraded you to Word 2003. Now, there are a few changes you should know about....
RONI: OK....

Popularity rank 18 #27. The day job is taking over your life

June 14, 2005

JOHN: You're skipping band practice? I'm starting to think this "day job" is becoming a career, Dan!
DAN: John, I work at Kinko's. It's not a career, dude....

JOHN: You just have fun in this life you've chosen, Dan. Enjoy your "job"! And your "comfort"! Your "picket fences" and "minivans"!
DAN: It's one practice, John!

DAN: Whatever, man, look, you still want me to pass along your resume?
JOHN: Yes I do!

JOHN: And maybe make a few copies on that cool marbled paper, too....
DAN: You officially now owe my, like, a billion dollars, by the way....

Popularity rank 19 #366. This isn’t a CD

April 19, 2010

JAMES: This isn't a CD. It's a bunch of construction paper and GLITTER.
JOHN: Uh, NO, it's a SCRAPBOOK and it's work of ART.

JAMES: We didn't order a SCRAPBOOK. We paid you to reproduce our CD.
JOHN: Oh, no, I destroyed your CD.

JAMES: That was our MASTER!
JOHN: It was GARBAGE. THIS captures the essence of your band.

JAMES: THIS is our album cover surrounded by pictures of a baby in a LOBSTER costume!
JOHN: It's... SO much more... Did you even READ the puffy paint?
