VIDEOS: Wendesday, June 17, 2009

Another day I wish I was a fly on the wall in the writer’s room (pun intended), “Okay, so we’re needing a jar of flies.” Fly Montage FTW! And I always love a good Wigfield reference – as much as Stephen and company are into recycling jokes, I’m wondering how long that joke has been around?

That Alpha Dog of the Week segment was so very jaw-dropping. 18? And 72?! Seriously?! Holy cow! Of course, in the back of my head, I could hear the Southpark policemen hissing “Niccccccccce.”

Being a news blogger (albeit a niche news blogger), I was really enjoying Stephen’s utter bafflement at Marshall’s description of his community. It’s quite similar to what we have here, except we don’t have offices. (We do have a staff of 12, however, believe it or not). This site would not be anywhere near as good as it is without the constant support from the community, feeding us news and being our eyes on the net. So thank you, Zoners, for all that you do for this site. Sincerely. And community-driven news blogging happens quite often. We are proof of that.

So what did you enjoy about the show? What were some of your favorite lines? I couldn’t get all the quotes I wanted – I have to get to sleep at some point this evening – but I threw in as many as I could. Feel free to add your own in the comments.

  • Some out there have questioned Sotamayor’s membership, specifically the Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who have their own single sex club, called the Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
  • That is really saying something for a guy named Tricky Dick, who paid a man with this moustache to do secret “plumbing” for him in the 70′s, and then paid him to keep it quiet.
  • I hereby demand to be admitted to this lady’s shadowy cabal. [He's "Cabal-Ready"]

  • It’s no secret that I’m no fan of shame. Shame on you, shame!

  • Now you can’t see this at home, because the network will have added a black bar, but our studio audience can tell that this is a photo – not a very big black bar – from a European tabloid because they have blurred out his face, but left his sun-soaked rigid manroot untouched.
  • Nothing says You’re Legal like diamonds.
