Popularity rank 9 #198. Told you so

January 16, 2009

BART: Frank, we're laying you off. The label's in the shitter, largely because we failed to follow your constant advice to embrace online music sharing.

BART: We're not giving you a severance package, but I am willing to let you scream "I told you so" very loudly in my face a few times.
SIMON: OK.

SIMON: I TOLD YOU SO! I TOLD YOU SO! I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO WITH THIS MUSIC SHARING SHIT!

SIMON: Thanks... hey, can I get a letter of recommendation?
BART: Sure thing.

Popularity rank 10 #76. The Future Is Not In Cloning

November 18, 2005

JOEL: Sir, your friend at GeniTECH has concluded cloning bands to create hits just isn't practical. For one thing, there's a 20-year lag time while the clones mature.

BART: Well... I guess it was sort of crazy, wasn't it? To think the future of music lay in human cloning?
JOEL: Heh... yes, sir.

BART: When clearly, from what you're saying, the future of music lies in a combination of cloning and time travel.

BART: Now, here's a number of a guy I know at Wormhole Depot...
JOEL: Sir, how do you know these people?
