Surprisingly and rather appropriately I filled up the last page in my quote book on December 31st. Admittedly this 3 year long experiment of obsessively writing things down has strayed from its original purpose of being a way to catalogue thoughts and sketches. For the last year it’s been almost exclusively a collection of drunken conversations and crude jokes. I regret nothing. Before I shelf the little thing and move on to the next, here are a few recent entries that I neglected to post:
BENJAMIN: (while video chatting) We’ve had 2,000 years of technology for me to show you my third nipple over the internet.
ME: Why is Alicia upset?
BENJAMIN: Oh, I called her a faggoty cunt.
KYLE: When The Hills was cancelled a little part of me was cancelled with it.
NICOLE: I feel like tonight’s going to be a really good night!
KYLE: The Black Eyed Peas had that feeling too.
CAMERON: (on wearing a wig) They were like, “it’s a fat Reese Witherspoon!” and I was devastated.
LANIE: Well, the Booty Dew appears to be the same thing as the Stanky Leg… that sentence.
CAMERON: (on hearing his first Lady Gaga song) It’s like, you know how everyone remembers where they were on 9/11?
ALICIA: (on a childhood vacation to Sea World) I threw up in Shamu’s tank and then we left.
JOE P: Show me on the basketball where Steve Nash touched you. Should I flip it over?
JOE R: Pickles are like veal. They didn’t even get the chance to be cucumbers.
KYM: It’s fun to brainwash your kid. Don’t write that down.
CAMERON: I want my wedding to be a shit show. I want my mom to be drunk. I want my dad to be drunk and disappointed..
NICOLE: I’ve been going to a “Booze & Books” club in Minneapolis.
TOM: You should start your own club.
KYLE: “Booze”.
CAMERON: Legally Blonde is tremendously similar to my life.
And the first entry of 2012:
ANDY: (in a quiet whisper) I’m gonna Pfannenstiel your heart.
…which is really only a good finale quote to this post if you’re already aware that Pfannenstiel is Andy’s last name and we often make puns concerning the pronunciation. So that one’s ruined for most of you.
Five months ago someone drew a dick on my back window after a dust storm. Washing, wiping, squeegees. Nothing has worked. It still shows up in the morning dew. This dick is my Everest.
shot some portraits of the Diamondbacks’ new relief pitcher the other night.
Fun fact: the players’ clubhouse smells surprisingly good.
Benjamin, spritzed with perfume.
Benjamin. Went to a brunch that lasted 8 hours yesterday. Mimosas for everyone! Mimosas all day long.
Kyle discussing Starcraft 2.
Artistic direction from Benjamin.
Ivan, who absolutely has a slutty relationship with tea.
I wish I knew who shouted this so I could give them credit.
The best thing anyone has ever said to me while I was working.
Andy to Russ, in a surprisingly threatening tone.
