This is kinda like Eggs Overheard but, for the things said in the diner.
baggins: "who doesn't love The Ramones? they're like if The Beach Boys sniffed glue."
Cinnamongirl: "[Mena Suvari] looks like a preying mantis on crack."

lieutenant: "...the new dorm would be designed like Swedish architecture a la the Ikea Book Warehouse...and it would loom over campus much like Schaumburg Ikea does from I-90, but also in the same way, no one would be able to get to it . . ."
neoacerbitas: "if it were a chicks dorm or if it were a guys dorm. cause if it were a virgin vault then that would make sense, but were it a cockpit, well, it would be a single story edifice made from old refrigerator boxes with poor water preassure and leaking toilet water from the ceilings."

pedro, maybe you ought to merge this Entreé with Eggs Overheard as this one is losing focus.
Quotable Quotes is supposed to be just quotes from the Diner itself. Eggs Overheard is for any quotes from outside the diner. Confusing I know, but an important distinction.GOod quotes though!

"On behalf of everyone in the blue states, I'd like to thank the red states for saving us from ourselves." On the fact that all the terrorism and potential for it takes place in the states that voted resoundingly for Kerry."If you want to visit a library or have gay sex, this is probably your last night to do these things. As for myself, I'm going to kill two birds with one stone." Just a tongue in cheek reference to the Morality police.
