Tabbitha Martin,

"I wish I believed in something enough to accidentally give my life for it."

Chris Friedman,
Systems Analyst
"Get ready for the most ridiculous series of PSAs in history."

Robert Lowe,
Dairy Farmer
"They should maybe donate that Wii to someone who really deserves it. Someone who wouldn't drink seven quarts of water for a video-game box."
