Quotes of the Bachelor[ette] Party

B: I have to know one thing before we go forward – are you Team Jacob or Team Edward? Because I’m not hanging around with a bunch of werewolf lovers. Just saying

S, on couch crashers: You should open up a halfway house for the lovelorn.

B: If there’s one rule in life, it’s that if it’s been in a vagina, it’s yours.

B: Okay, the challenge will be even!

B: Barnes will be a great father someday. And Smitty will accidentally impregnate a woman.
MB: As a parting gift, here’s some marital advice—don’t ever pretend you have terminal cancer.

October 25, 2009

October 17, 2009

Quotes For The Week

Emily: That’s what happens when you let a hippy schedule your shit; you end up in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Dave: Why does slapped together bubble gum pop on Radio Disney accidentally end up with some amazing poignant and deep lyrics?
Elise: I think lyrics are only as deep as the life experiences to which we can relate them.

Mom, on dating around: Overrated. It used to be that girls didn’t have guy friends, so you’d have to go on a proper date to get to know them. Now you can get to know them without actually dating them, so there’s no point. Having guy friends is much better.

Camila: The people there don’t have manners. Or teeth.

Jim: iTunes has no respect for the ‘90s.

October 11, 2009

Jeff: I dated a girl who worked in Taos one summer at a restaurant Val Kilmer liked to go to—they had to put mirrors out on the back of the commodes because that’s where he preferred to do his coke.

On liking Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus
Elise: Sometimes when you get nervous, Jackie – like in an interview or presentation – it’s good to just put your hands up because they’re playing your elevator song. Nod your head like ‘yeah’; move your hips like ‘yeah.’ They’ll understand.

September 21, 2009

Quotes For The Week

Jim: Really? You live in Indiana and just asked if Canadian geese could fly?

Meredith: So if you’re a man wearing two different types of camouflage, is it really clashing?

Beth: Kathie Lee Gifford has a sweet job. Either she comes to work drunk every day or gets to act like she’s drunk. Either way, it’s a good deal.

Chris: I just found out the band Chicago was so named because they formed in Chicago. I think that’s fascinating.

Janae: I give St. Ives an F-minus for their Olive Scrub, which is all olives and no scrub. Now my skin is dull and lifeless. I’m going back to St. Ives Apricot Scrub, which is aggressive and unrelenting. The pain lets me know it’s working.

August 30, 2009

Quotes For The Week

Buying bleach
Cashier: Laundry day, huh?
Channing: No, just really thirsty.

Janae: The word “let’s” is contracted, so reliably it seems like a big affectation to use “let us” as separate words. “Let us talk about sex!” “Let us gobble these sausages!” Are we kings and princes?
David: We should time travel back to medieval days and start dropping “let’s” all over the towns and villages. Then we can sit back and watch the madness we created.
Janae: Fire up the Delorean and come get me.

Elise: When is it acceptable to wear jean shorts?
Mason: When you’re on a rope swing by a secluded lake.
Elise: Wrong. The correct answer is “never.”
Mason: But nylon cuts! You need something thicker on rope swings.

Dan: For six years, this guy runs a magazine that sent him on trips to places like Asia and Vegas. Now he’s writing about sewage in Cleveland.

Hickey: One night I met this insane genius at the bar – think Doc Brown – who has made a fortune in oil or something but was telling me all about these theories he had with numbers and how he was starting to make “the next big movie trilogy.” The first one was called “The Power of 7,” the second “The Power of 3″ and the final one was “The Power of 1.” I can’t remember exactly what they were about, other than terrorists blowing shit up and the world ending. Also, he busted out this huge 80s-style calculator and kept hitting the square root button to prove that every number comes back down to one. Because he was so concerned that someone else might have come up with this idea, he even had it notarized. He was also carrying a personalized letter from the former governor of Louisiana, who is currently in prison. (Imagine, a governor in prison). It even had whatever penitentiary that governor is in as the return address. Oh, and he also wore two watches. One set on Louisiana time, the other set on Baghdad time. Even though he was 61 years old and clearly hadn’t been serving in Baghdad. Also, he gave me his business card and wrote both of his cell phone numbers on the back, so we could hang out and he could show me where to pick up
chicks in town. Still have not made that call.

August 23, 2009

Quotes For The Week

Jess: Sundays are bittersweet because they are inherently relaxing, but inevitably lead to Mondays.

Meredith: Why is that guy wearing high waters?
Elise: You laugh now, but just wait til there’s a flash flood.
Meredith: …and then I’d roll my pants.
Elise: Manual Hemming. I like it.

Joel: I didn’t go to my 10-year reunion. They were charging people to show up and just stand around on the grass; I don’t pay to stand on earth.

Hickey, on the Red Dawn remake: Really? Does no one have an original idea anymore? Can we start shipping some more cocaine to Hollywood to get the idea train moving again? Jesus.

Rob, on first date group outing: If either of you think it’s a bad idea to go to a bar where your friends are ‘hanging out’ for the first time, you can just place that right out of your mind. When I’m in Indianapolis, it’s inevitable that I’ll meet somebody I know; and I’d prefer it’s you two rather than a girl I met off Match.com that recognizes me. So, I figure, if you guys are there, the probability that someone else that knows me will be there.  It’s statistics.  The same reason I always carry a suitcase bomb when I fly. There’s virtually no chance of there being two bombs on a plane.
