Metaquotes

Eris Rising in the American Idol thread, talking about the top 10:

QUOTE

Melinda's still my favorite, though it's almost getting boring how well she does every week. There's no suspense left. I compare it to watching Michael Jordan going up against a couple of decent pro players, a handful of rookies, and at least one guy who accidentally wandered onto the court and got the ball passed to him.

Genevieve in Snarkfest Parents, on her son waking up in the middle of the night:

QUOTE

He was dry, didn't want to nurse, he just wanted to chat or something. Sometimes having a baby is like hanging out with someone on meth who calls you at some ungodly hour wanting to chat about their new favorite myspace band and how they just cleaned the entire kitchen with a toothpick and don't you think they should dye their hair blonde?

That made me laugh and laugh.

In the Cultural Differences thread, I asked squishy a question about Target Country:

Hee. I much prefer Target myself, but since I live in a small town, I get its off shoot Target Country. That store is the crappiest crap that ever crapped and makes Kmart look good in comparison.

I've never heard of Target Country. What makes it "country"?

Well, it drives down the California freeway with a baby on its lap. That's what you do when you're "country." Duh.

Fantastic.

You beat me too it. That made me giggle. hard.

Hey, my first Metaquote at 3.0! Thanks you guys!

In the Fitness and exercise thread, ka-*test*-('")i speaks for us all. (or at least me)

QUOTE

ignore the french fries.

I understand the words, but they don't make sense all put together like that.

Hee, yeah. It reminds me of one of my favorite Simpsons quotes, which I use all the time: "The words are English, but they make no sense."

Two metaquotes in a row?! Man, I should just leave quit now, before I say something really stupid.

tothemax on Akon:

I tend to agree with one of our local deejays who said "That guy Akon has the swee-*test*-('") gig ever! All he does on Sweet Escape is yell "WHEEEE OOOO!"

Um, he says, WOO-HOO and YEE-HOO! Geez. The least you can do is give this versatile artist his due.

And I think there's a fairly substantial argument to be made that it's the best work of his career.

Skyblade on Blades of Glory:

QUOTE

I'm kind of convinced this movie wasn't so much made, but plunged from a parrallel universe. Not a completely reverse universe, like the U.S. losing the cold war (To Poland!) or men evolving from turnips. Just subtle differences, where we have the Avengers and they have the Justice League. I just really think this movie is the Counter-Earth Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. Craig T. Nelson=Rip Torn. Jenna Fischer=Christine Taylor. Will Arnett=Jason Bateman. Amy Poehler=Miss Pyle. It's kind of eerie, really.

I thought this was really clever and well, I was kind of impressed. Not all movie threads start with parallel turnip earth metaphors.

Right back atcha, callie, because here's your quote from the Blowing Off Steam thread:

QUOTE

It's 2:16 am and two roomies and assorted friends just walked in the door, most of them drunk and all talking at the top of their lungs.

Well, I was sleeping...

I almost want to say this is bullshit, where's Tico Torres but only if he comes down from upon high with the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, bearing the wrath of God so he can smite everyone who's having an endless discussion about going to IHOP and get them to shut the fuck up. I just entered the Moon Lodge, I am tired, hormonal and I will cut a bitch.

Don't we all need a vengeful Tico Torres to come smite the assholes in our lives?
