You Made Me Hate The Beach Boys

"Give me some guitars and screaming vocals and the kind of heart-pounding riffs you'll find on old Heart and AC/DC and Led Zeppelin recordings, and I'll wear your t-shirt." [Maud Newton]

"We don't know if all K-Marts are like this, but we think it's very possible that the air in K-Mart is 85 percent asbestos and 15 percent Chee-tos." [Black Table]

"It's really hard to be happy being back here with so much so different. Maybe I just need to watch some Woody Allen or some Pretty Women. At least here it's okay to feel cranky. I will wear black tomorrow, and then I'll be back after my iced grande skim caramel machiatto." [Stephanie Klein]

"I'm looking forward to the day when Alan and I can tour Gettysburg in full Blue and Gray regalia (counter-respectively) or at least bust a couple of pumpkins in Mom's field with our black powder revolvers." [Cowboy Blob]

"I just found your new indie rock boyfriend. He's British, 24 years old, and a singer. His musical influences are a bit dubious, especially for someone who didn't grow up in America. He idolizes Aerosmith and Guns N' Roses....his name is Nick Atkinson and he fronts a band called Rooster." [The Modern Age]

"Rent Guidelines Board + stabilized apartments + 7.5% increase in 2003 + 6.5% increase last year + landlord advocates - rowdy tenants yelling "you're parasites!" / election year politics = 2-4.5% increase for one-year leases, 4-7% for two-year." [Curbed]

"...I just think it is beneath a lady as classy as Laura Bush to joke about watching something as smutty as Desperate Housewives. I also didn't care for the daughters little giggly speech at the Republican Convention, where they talked about how they watched Sex and the City. I have always thought they should change the name of that show to Whores in the City." [Nashville Truth]

"As for the MVP debate, I don't give a knee-high sock who's the MVP. That's like caring about who wins the Best Actress Oscar. Or any Oscar, period. I like it when players from my favorite teams are recognized, but I also dismiss award debates as soap-opera fodder for men." [Neal Pollack]

"If you’re into underwater cameras, or you're into learning about underwater cameras, or you just want to look at pictures of underwater cameras, then Cameras Underwater is a place you want to check out." [Divester]

"When I was in junior highschool a group of my classmates and I would occasionally go looking for trouble at the Plaza Hotel. We'd get dolled up in our weekend best and try to con our way past hotel security so we could wreak havoc with the staff and uppercrust guests. It was the adventures of Eloise with Brooklyn attitude." [Nuggets]
