quote of the week (August 27-September 3)

We know we've been especially disappointing over the last week. No new quotes or even anything fun to look at. So here's something fun to look at:

For the gentlemen, the lovely Anna Friel, from one of our favorite returning tv shows, ABC's Pushing Daisies:



And now for the ladies, from Arrested Development, the dapper and charming never-nude, Tobias Fünke:



Now that we've provided some eye candy, onto the quotes, which are all over the map.

This quote came to our attention from DC bureau co-chief Brian Williams (pictured below with his winning entry in the Keith Hernandez look-a-like contest - NOTE: this was NOT done for charity - just for the love of the game).



He sent in a quote from the little-noticed acrimonious split between the Chicago Sun-Times and their former sportswriter/grouchy hack Jay Mariotti. Sun-Times editor Michael Cooke had this to say:

"We wish Jay well and will miss him -- not personally, of course -- but in the sense of noticing he is no longer here, at least for a few days."

And then, onto a movie that QOTD heartily recommends for those of you looking to spend the best 81 minutes you'll have all day, the silly but extremely entertaining documentary, Air Guitar Nation, about the World Air Guitar Championships. There is a lot to use from this movie, but the tagline says it best:

"to err is human; to air guitar, divine."

Due to the anti-fun people at NBC Universal, I can't put a clip of Will Arnett's air guitar rendition of the Law & Order theme song here, but instead, I'll include a clip from one of the documentary's stars, Björn Türoque, as he "plays" Black Sabbath in Chicago:

Finally a skill-set that makes me feel pretty good about being able to pass Guitar Hero on Medium
