Popularity rank 1 #108. Using the band

February 21, 2006

JOHN: I'm concerned about these messages you're getting through the band's MySpace account, Dan.
DAN: Yeah, girls seem to like to message bands....
JOHN: Dan! The account is for the band! For promotion! Not for personal use! There must be separation of church and band!
DAN: Look, John, I--
JOHN: No, YOU look, Dan, OK? MySpace is about music! It's not some cheap dating service!
DAN: John, you and the founder of MySpace are the only people on earth who actually believe that statement.
JOHN: It's me and Tom vs. the world!

Popularity rank 4 #248. Catsitting web history

August 16, 2009

BRETT: So now that you're dating her, has she... told you stuff about me?
THE CLOUD: No. But I have access to her Web history while you were catsitting for her.
THE CLOUD: It paints an odd picture. You spent all your time at two sites: McSweeneys.com and "Big Tits At School".
BRETT: HEY... I went to that second one IRONICALLY.
BRETT: At FIRST...
THE CLOUD: Interestingly, you alt-tabbed between the two a LOT...
