Bob Alexander: What do you think you're doing?
Dave: What? Oh, you mean the press conference. I had a couple of ideas that I wanted to share with the country.
Bob Alexander: Share? Share? You don't call a press conference. I call a press conference. You're nothing. Do you understand? You're nobody.
Dave: I'm not nobody.
Bob Alexander: You're LINT! You're a FLEA! You're a BLIP!
Dave: Well... maybe I am. But you're fired.

Just for the record, Jeff, I was kidding about the 'Who is David Beckham?' comment. After I thought about it for awhile, I realized I did know who Lance Armstrong was, too, but it was not information I had in short term memory storage. When you have a daughter, it's hard not to know who the Spice Girls are living with or married to (also Brittany, Hillary, Christina, et al).

Rita - as Jeff implied - it is so stupid it is... classic comedy?
I split a gut hearing that again. My next mission is to find an audio version of Abbott and Costello's "Who's on First". Be forewarned - you might never be the same. More so if I happen upon a few choice Monty Python audios - but the later is a guy thing - you wouldn't understand....;-)

"So we went to Atari and said, 'Hey, we've got this amazing thing, even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about funding us? Or we'll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said, 'No.' So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we don't need you. You haven't got through college yet.'" -- Apple Computer Inc. founder Steve Jobs on attempts to get Atari and H-P interested in his and Steve Wozniak's personal computer.

Posted by: kingw | October 04, 2004 at 01:08 PM
The Wienerkings (also known as Dachsmen) were aggressive, seafaring warriors who pestered European coastal villages in the eighth and ninth centuries. They were never known to actually kill anyone, but, instead, preferred to stab annoyingly at their victim's ankles. Perhaps even more interesting was their battle cry, described in some ancient legends as a "sort of yipping sound."
The Wienerkings vanished rather quickly, and historians are in dispute as to exacly why. The most prevalent theory, however, is that they may have repeatedly and inadvertently crossed paths with the Rottweilerites, another obscure people that just about everyone avoided.
