Quality Quotables #10

“Nothing can prepare an audience for what they are about to see, because nothing punishes an audience like EVIL DEAD – especially on the big screen,” says Bruce Campbell. “I’m really glad it’s back. People are gonna be hurt.”

A great quote by Bruce Campbell regarding the re-release of Evil Dead coming to theaters soon.

Quality Quotables #9

post 1

"My father got more creditentials than most of these pro coaches. My father played for the coach from rememeber the titans. Our coach played golf. My father played for redskins briefley. Our coach. Nuthn."

post 2
Apparently he called someone who had responded to his tweet a fag, however, the media is tip toeing so lightly around political correct wording that none of them seem to be willing to post the word instead referring to it as the three letter gay slur.

post 3

"Make me regret it. Lmao. U don't stop my checks. Lmao. So 'tweet' away."

Larry Johnson (running back, pretty much formerly of the Kansas City Chiefs)

Quality Quotables #8

"As coaches we failed to get through to them. As coaches we failed to make our coaching points and our points more compelling than their fat little girlfriends. Now their fat little girl friends have some obvious advantages. For one thing, their fat little girlfriends are telling them what they want to hear, which is how great you are and how easy it's going to be."

Mike Leach (head football coach of Texas Tech after a loss to Texas A&M)

Overall, he used the term fat little girlfriend 5 times during the press conference. Apparently he made this after the game and then came out this week and said he would not apologize for it and reiterated his point.

The best quote came from one of the commentators on ESPN College Football Live after showing the clip.

"What's he really saying other than the fact that the salad bar in the student union isn't getting the reps it should?"

6th Commandment


This time I actually managed to keep with the holy scripture. As Mount Cody blocked the Tennessee field goal at the end of the game to keep Alabama undefeated and send the Hillbillies back to Knoxville with their tails between their legs our living room was a jumbled mess of images and sounds.

Tim spiked his hat, which damn near bounced off the ground and back up to the ceiling. The cat dipped out of the room with the quickness. The dogs began dancing around with all of the commotion that that had broken out. I, well, I was damn near comatose sitting on the couch, not fully believing the incredible feat that had just occurred.

Less than a minute later, my brother handed me a drink and after a quick toast we downed them. He put some brats on the grill and warmed back up the sausage cheese dip while I made myself another drink.

After a couple cigarettes by me, a victory cigar by my brother and a number of further drinks by both we sat down with a couple of brats to rewatch the finale of the game. We watched the sucessful onside kick by the Vols followed by the great pass by Crompton to setup the field goal attempt.

However, then came the the moment when physics were broken. Tennessee snapped the ball, the hold was good, but then science failed us as The Mountain moved. Not only did it move, it volleyball spiked the kick back in the direction that it came from.

Many high fives later and a bit of rewinding later, we were able to join in a spirited rendition of "Yea Alabama." After this came the undeniable finale of our viewing... "Rammer Jammer." As the horns heated up so did we.

In our most heated recital of the season, we made those filthy Hillbillies hear us all the way from Milwaukee as we screamed, "HEY VOLS, HEY VOLS, HEY VOLS, WE JUST BEAT THA' HELL OUTTA YOU. RAMMA' JAMMA' YELLA' HAMMA', GIVE 'EM HELL ALABAMA!!!!"

Thus fulfillith the sixth Commandment. As later interpreted by numerous Crimson Tide theology scholars, "After Alabama defeateth those nasty Hillibillies from the north, thou shalt at the earliest possible moment, but no longer than one score hours and four after victory rejoice in the hymnal that is Rammer Jammer or thou shalt goest to the deepest, darkest of hells."

Joss on Dollhouse's removal from sweeps.

(as posted on http://whedonesque.com/comments/22111#345804)

Hi guys. Lot going on.

First off, TV addict not dumb. (But you gotta get clean, man. We love you and you HAVE A PROBLEM. I'm just saying, try a book. A book about TV! Not cold turkey.)

Directing Glee. This is not a diabolical Fox scheme. This is me going "can I can I?" Did you see last night? Best cut-to-opening-credits moment since the halcyon days of BSG.

Howzabout that schedule? Well, I'm not as depressed as everyone else. We weren't about to rock sweeps anyway, and though there's a chilly November, December is CRAZY. It's like an Advent calendar of episodes! We get November to try to spread the word (which I'll be leaning on Fox to do, though it's hard to imagine them doing as good a job as the WhyIWatch guy) and then December is pure gluttony. Plus the episodes line up extremely well in these pairs, and we'll have an absurdly appropriate lead-in.

Back to breaking Tim's episode. Keep the faith, peeps. I'll bring you news (and hopefully a little humor, I mean would it kill me to punch these up a little?) when I can. -j

Quality Commericals #7: Black Jack Taco

Apparently this is my brother's new favorite commercial as he recited the words every time it came on over the weekend.

Quality Quotables #7

From Glee (Season 1, Ep 7) [Nerdy boy from school newspaper to head girl in the Glee club.]

"The independent polling company in my Dockers had determined that you're the hottest girl in this school."


I broke the 5th Commandment...

I'm not talking any religious mumbo jumbo here. I didn't murder anyone or dishonor my mother and father (well I guess in a way I did).


On a much more disappointing note, I was running a little late to work today due to the weather and the inability of Milwaukeans to drive normally in it. I decided to put on some tunes and as I pulled in, rushing to try to not be late, I was horrified at the abomination that had occured. I had broken the 5th Commandment.

Qualitiy Quotables #6

I'm not sure where this came from. I saw it in the signature of an e-mail I got today.

"While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart."
