quote of the day (June 9, 2008)

This quote is not in any way designed to convey my irritation with the Italian soccer team as they play their first game in the Euro 2008 championships right now (no spoilers, please - I have it DVR'ing). But if you choose to take it as a Zidane-style headbutt to the collective Azzuri chest, then by all means...

Zidane employs 1/2 of the Giant Panther's pro wrestling special moves. Just wait till he breaks out the Iron Claw.

From 30 Rock:

Liz: "Well, it was nice of you to let him keep his job."

Jack: "The Italians have a saying, Lemon. 'Keep your friends close and your enemies closer'. And although they've never won a war or mass-produced a decent car, in this area they are correct. In five years, we'll all either be working for him...or be dead by his hand."

--Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) and Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) discuss the ever-chipper Kenneth the Page (Jack McBrayer)
