Husband. Cat food dispenser. Corporate minion trying to worm his way through IT.

Dr. Benton from the opening sequence of ER. Look, if we got this level of enthusiasm shown here, I’d be happy. But we don’t. We just get him cheating with a known married woman, being pissed AT HER for being married, and being pissed at his family when he makes bad decisions about his mother. Again, don’t at me.

Ben Stein in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". They say that a picture can speak a thousand words, but this one only speaks one... "Bueller? Bueller?"
It's a pendant of Indiana Jones. Listen, I never said I was a hilarious guy. I just said I'd be punny from time to time, and this is one of those times.

Isaac: What is it, Jeremy? Jeremy: Interesting thing. Did you know that the word 'Easter' never appears in the Bible? Isaac: Is that right? Jeremy: The Bible is absent any mention of a celebration of the resurrection of Christ, save for one verse. Acts 12, Verse 4, and that's only in the King James Bible, where the word 'Passover' was mistranslated as Easter. However, the New King James, The American Standard, and even the New International Version, all translate the word correctly as 'Passover'. Isaac: That's a relief. Jeremy: I did a search on the word 'resurrection'. Isaac: Excellent. Jeremy: Want to hear more? Isaac: Not at all. Jeremy: Can I ask a question? Isaac: Sure. Jeremy: Jesus said, "Behold my hands and my feet, that it is myself: handle me and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have." Isaac: What's your question? Jeremy: This relates to the bunny rabbit how? Isaac: Get out. Jeremy: No problem.

Weird Al, clearly surprised and happy at ... something? Maybe a meatball on someone's plate? Who is to know?
Quote from Margaret Jordan on “The Newsroom”: “It’s every guy‘s least favorite day. Everyone’s always disappointed. Valentine’s Day is the bully of holidays. It forces love on people who aren’t in love. Cupid‘s freakish.”

A chart of people in Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire". For each person, a bar indicates the lifetime of that person, with only four extending to the far right of the chart to indicate today-ish. There is also a dot on each line to indicate where in the song the person is mentioned, including two for Richard Nixon ("back again"). The three remaining people are Chubby Checker, Bob Dylan, and Bernie Goetz.
