Quotation of the Week, Possibly the Year

I'm not certain if truer words have ever been spoken:

"One of the things you learn as a college president is that if an undergraduate is wearing a tie and jacket on Thursday afternoon at three o'clock, there are two possibilities. One is that they're looking for a job and have an interview; the other is that they are an asshole. This was the latter case," - Larry Summers on the Winklevoss twins.

Big Tip of the Hat.

Tyson on Tyson

Courtesy of Buzzfeed, the nine best quotations from Mike Tyson's interview with Details magazine.

My two favorites:

"You know, physically he was just a pussy." (On Che Guevara)

"My wife's lived with me in places I wouldn't take a shit in."

The man speaks his mind.

Oldy McOlderson Speaks

From this week's Sports Illustrated (Print edition -- no link) "They said it," Bill Webber, the oldest living former Major League player at 100 years old commented on today's players:

"The hair's too long. Their beards are too evident. They're a grubby looking bunch of caterwaulers."

Greatest. Quotation. Ever.

The Simpsons Movie: The Countdown Begins

In honor of the pending release of the Simpsons Movie, which opens on July 27, The Sun provides "Top Simpsons Rib Ticklers." This is far from a complete list as with only one or two exceptions it sticks to the Simpsons themselves, avoiding the minor characters who make the show so great. Nothing from Mr. Burns, Apu, Krusty, Police Chief Wiggum? Only one from Moe? Nonetheless, it's time to start gearing up for the movie event of the summer.

My favorite Mr. Burns moment, by the way, is the following exchange after Burns loses the election for Governor:

Mr. Burns: This anonymous clan of slack-jawed troglodytes has cost me the election, and yet if I were to have them killed, I would be the one to go to jail. That's democracy for you.
Smithers: You are noble and poetic in defeat, sir.
