That’s right folks the nice guys in Rogue Wave singed a vinyl copy of their fantastic new album, Decended Like Vultures. Even if you don’t own a record player this would look amazing in anyone’s dorm room, office, kitchen, or even above the fire place!
Here’s how you can win the autographed vinyl:
Enter your favorite Arrested Development quote in the comments of this post. The rumors appear to be true that the show has been picked up by Showtime for two seasons at 13 episodes each, and that deserves to be recognized. If you don’t watch the show, no worries do a Google search and see what you come up with. The quote that my friend Scott likes best wins. Good luck.
Please be sure to check out my other recent Rogue Wave posts:

Michael: Could it be love?
G.O.B.: I know what an erection feels like, Michael. No, it’s the opposite. It’s… it’s like my heart is getting hard. Maybe I am ready to be a father.

George Michael Bluth: So, uh, I’ve been thinking about that conversation we were having the other night about, uh, where Maeby came from. And uh, I was just wondering if you could finish that thought.
Tobias Fünke: Yes, okay, uh… well, have a seat. Uh… um… when a man… needs to prove to a woman that he’s actua- when a man loves a woman, and he actually wants to make love, uh, to her, something very, very special happens. And with deep, deep concentration and, and great focus, he’s often able to achieve an erec…
George Michael Bluth: I’m sorry, I’m going to stop you. I know what you mean. I, I didn’t mean babies in general.
Tobias Fünke: Oh, well that’s good. Because it was about to get a little, eh, gross.

Lucille: Give me a vodka straight up.
Michael: Mom it’s 8:00 in the morning.
Lucille: And a piece of toast.
March 6th, 2006 at 9:32 am
Buster: The motherload.
(after finding box of wine thinking it’s a giant juice box)
March 6th, 2006 at 9:54 am
Gob: “Just ring it up with the dong tea.”
March 6th, 2006 at 10:08 am
Buster: It’s a bird!! It walked on my PILLOW!
March 6th, 2006 at 10:33 am
Michael: So, what’s going on with the fundraiser?
George Sr.: Well, I don’t think the Home Builders Organization is gonna be supporting us.
Michael: Yeah, the HBO’s not gonna want us. What do we do now?
George Sr.: Well, I think it’s “Show Time.” I think we have to have a show during dinner.
March 6th, 2006 at 10:50 am
Tobias: As you may or may not know, Lindsay and I have hit a bit of a rough patch.
Michael: Really? When did that start?
Tobias: Well, I don’t want to blame it all on 9/11, but it certainly didn’t help.
March 6th, 2006 at 10:56 am
Michael: I’ll use the touchlamp to help set the mood in the trailer where Dad’s nailing Mom!
March 6th, 2006 at 11:36 am
Michael: Are you serious?
Wayne Jarvis: Almost always. I was once voted the worst audience participant Cirque Du Soleil ever had.
March 6th, 2006 at 11:53 am
Narrator: Tobias listens to a day’s worth of his own words, to see what Michael was referring to…
Tobias Fünke: [on tape] … even if it means me taking a chubby, I will suck it up.
Tobias Fünke: Nothing wrong with that.
Tobias Fünke: [on tape] Oh, I’ve been in the film business for a while, but I just can’t seem to get one in the can.
Tobias Fünke: It’s out of context.
Tobias Fünke: [on tape] I wouldn’t mind kissing that man between the cheeks.
Narrator: …and he realized there is something distinct about the way he speaks.
Tobias Fünke: Tobias, you blowhard!

[from extended pilot]
Michael: So .. this is the magic trick, huh?
Gob: “Illusion,” Michael. A trick is something a whore does for money… [glances at kids standing nearby] … Or cocaine!
March 6th, 2006 at 1:57 pm
Gob: I’ve made a huge mistake.
Or
Gob: Franklin (the puppet) said some things Whitey wasn’t ready to hear.
Michael: Gob, weren’t you also mercilessly beaten outside of a club in Torrance for that act?
Gob: He also said some things that African-American-y wasn’t ready to hear either.

“First of all, we’re doing this for her. Okay? Because neither one of us wants to get divorced. And second-of-ly, I know you’re the big marriage expert – Oh. I’m sorry. I forgot. Your wife is dead!”
March 6th, 2006 at 3:00 pm
Tobias: Well, I’ve always wanted to remake Annie Hall. Except, I wouldn’t want to get in bed with a green producer like a Sofia Coppola, though. Oh, but give me an old pro like a Robert Redford. Oh, I’d jump into bed with him in a second. And I wouldn’t just lie there, Michael Bluth, if that’s what you’re thinking.
March 6th, 2006 at 3:30 pm
Maeby: You don’t see me nervous about being on my third Virgin Mary.
George Michael: Why would you be nervous? There’s no alcohol in a Virgin Mary.
Maeby: There isn’t? This is unbelievable. Can I get a Virgin Pina Colada when you get a chance? Now we’ll get things started.
I love Rogue Wave. And Arrested Development.

[Tobias discovers that George Sr. has been living in the attic]
Tobias: What are you doing up here?
George Sr.: I’m having a fucking tea party, what does it look like I’m doing?
[he shoves Tobias up against the wall with his hand against his mouth]
George Sr.: I’m living up here and if you tell anyone about this, I will fucking kill you. Ah, stop licking my hand, you horse’s ass!

March 6th, 2006 at 4:54 pm
George Michael Bluth: I have Pop Pop in the attic.
Michael Bluth: The mere fact that you call making love “Pop Pop” tells me that you’re not ready!
March 6th, 2006 at 4:56 pm
Michael: Are you wearing my dead wife’s maternity clothes?
March 6th, 2006 at 5:01 pm
Buster, with a variety of stuffed animals: These are my awards, Mother, from Army. The seal is for marksmanship and the gorilla is for sand racing.
March 6th, 2006 at 5:20 pm
GOB: I hear the jury’s still out on science.
March 6th, 2006 at 5:54 pm
(Arms raised): “STEVE HOLT!”
March 6th, 2006 at 6:05 pm
GOB: Steve Holt’s not my son.
George Michael: Steve Holt? What, the moron jock?
GOB: That’s my son, you pothead!
March 6th, 2006 at 8:26 pm
Michael: You know, GOB, you might want to start acting like the President. You’re beginning to alienate some of the employees.
Gob: Yeah, like the CEO has to worry about alienating the employees!
Narrator: In fact, GOB *had* started to alienate some of the employees.
Gob: [in the break room] The worst that could happen is that I could spill coffee all over this $3,000 suit! Come on!
[in the elevator]
Gob: Yeah, the guy wearing the $4,000 suit is holding the elevator for the guy who doesn’t make that in four months! Come on!
[in the bathroom]
Gob: Yeah, like I’m going to take a whiz through this $5,000 suit! Come on!
March 6th, 2006 at 8:52 pm
Pulling Michael in for a hug GOB declares “don’t worry if you feel something moving down there it’s just the bird” Michael looks over GOB’s shoulder and notices the bird on the counter.
God Bless Showtime..Start watchings Weeds if your not already doing so.

George Sr.: Chanukah can be spelled so many ways! Oh God!
March 6th, 2006 at 11:52 pm
“it’s a jet pack, michael. what could possibly go wrong?”
March 7th, 2006 at 1:22 am
[the Bluths have hired Andy Griffith to sit in on George Sr's hearing]
Lindsay Funke: Bad news. Andy Griffith turned us down. He didn’t like his trailer.
[the camera pans over to reveal the log cabin truck]
Lindsay Funke: He thought we were making fun of him.
Narrator: They were not making fun of Andy Griffith. This cannot be stressed enough.
March 7th, 2006 at 9:42 am
Maeby: That Steve sure knows how to please a lady.
George Michael: Good. I was hoping he would be gifted sexually. I guess it makes sense, you know, older guys expect certain things.
Maeby: They do?
George Michael: What a fun, sexy time for you.
March 7th, 2006 at 12:20 pm
Franklin: I don’t need none of yo’ tired-ass country club, ya freak bitch!
March 7th, 2006 at 5:13 pm
One of my favorites:
Ann: “You must teach me, George Michael. You must teach me the ways of the secular flesh.”
Nada Surf and Rogue Wave were amazing at the Annex.
March 7th, 2006 at 7:12 pm
(Maeby deciding to become a Christian):
Maeby:Do you know where I can get one of those necklaces with the little “T”s?
Michael: It’s a cross.
Maeby: Across from where?
March 7th, 2006 at 7:36 pm
Gob: Zero hour Michael, it’s the end of the line. I’m the firstborn, I’m sick of playing second fiddle, I’m always third in line for everything, I’m tired of finishing fourth, Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I’m mad about, and I’m taking over.
This line has been killing me lately. Hilarious! Thanks for linking to my story by the way.
March 7th, 2006 at 11:09 pm
Buster: What do you expect, mother? I’m half machine! (after being caught with the Roomba)
March 7th, 2006 at 11:49 pm
Hello, my name is Dr. Tobias Funke. I graduated with honors from Boston College and I did my post-graduate in psycho-linguistics at MIT. And this is “You’re A Bad, Bad, Man” from “Annie Get Your Gun.”
March 8th, 2006 at 3:08 pm
fantastic offer…thanks!
Lucille: [to Michael] That’s not true! I love all my children equally.
Lucille: [earlier that day] I don’t really care for GOB.
March 8th, 2006 at 3:19 pm
quote 1-
Steve Holt: Hi I’m Steve Holt *long pause insert Steve Holt here* Everyone knows I’m not a virgin and I’ve made some mistakes. I’m not talking about the ugly ones.
quote 2-
GOB: Steve Holt, what are you doing here?
Steve Holt: I came for the magic show.
GOB: You like magic?
Steve Holt: No I don’t like magic *pause, insert GOB looking depressed* I love magic!!!!
Too many quotes, hard to pick just 1 (hence my two) Keep up the good work and thanks.
March 9th, 2006 at 10:16 am
(this may be technically two quotes, but they go so well together)
Tobias: Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over – an analyst and a therapist. The world’s first analrapist.
…
Tobias: No, no, it’s pronounced a-nal-ra-pist.
Buster: It wasn’t really the pronunciation that bothered me.
March 9th, 2006 at 10:27 am
GOB: So what brings you here, Michael? I hope it’s not for a handout. I run a pretty tight ship around here.
Michael: With a pool table?
GOB: It’s a gaming ship.
March 9th, 2006 at 10:39 am
Buster (in reference to Lucille): Like anyone would want to “R” her.
March 9th, 2006 at 2:10 pm
Tobias Fünke: So what are your plans for this evening?
Bob Loblaw: I thought that maybe I would stay in and work on my law blog.
Tobias Fünke: Ah, yes. The “Bob Loblaw Law Blog”. You, sir, are a mouthful!
March 9th, 2006 at 3:28 pm
…discussing the cabin in Tahoe…
Michael: Maybe you can take a date up there.
Lucille: How am I supposed to find someone willing to go into that musty old claptrap?
Michael: ….
Lucille: ….
Michael: The cabin! Yes…yes, well that would be difficult too.
PURE GENIUS.
March 9th, 2006 at 3:39 pm
Tobias Fünke: Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over – an analyst and a therapist. The world’s first analrapist.
March 9th, 2006 at 6:41 pm
Lindsay: How do you think I feel? Bob Loblaw’s a handsome, professional man and I’m only used to… well, none of those things.
Tobias: Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over— an analyst and a therapist. The world’s first analrapist.
Of course what fan doesn’t laugh these days at the sound of “Hey Brother.”
March 9th, 2006 at 6:43 pm
“And that’s why you always leave a note.”
March 9th, 2006 at 9:01 pm
can’t belive nobody hit on this chestnut yet..
Tobias Fünke “I just don’t think the public was ready for an analrapist”
Therapist/Analyist
Funny shit
March 9th, 2006 at 9:26 pm
Michael: Not everything is strippers and booze and buckets of blood. Why do you guys have buckets of blood?
Gob: It’s not real blood. It’s, um, corn syrup and red dye. Juice.
Buster: We have unlimited juice? (laughs) This party is going to be off the hook.
March 10th, 2006 at 12:15 am
GOB: Plus, she’s religious. That one gets pregnant, it stays pregnant. Believe me, I dated a chick like that once in high school. (Long pause.) No, I didn’t.
March 10th, 2006 at 10:37 am
Michael: She says that she’s got some evidence and she’s threatening to bring down the company unless we meet her demands.
Gob: Oh, that is just great. Now I’m expected to climb back on top of Kitty and do my thing again. I mean, this family runs into problems and it’s “Oh, let’s have Gob fuck our way out of it.”
March 11th, 2006 at 11:13 am
Obviously, I’m not a big…guy.
March 11th, 2006 at 11:20 am
Tobias: You know, Michael, if I may take off my acting pants for a moment and pull my analrapist stocking over my head, George Michael has been acting strange lately. I think he may have developed what we in the soft sciences refer to obsessive-compulsive disorder. Or the O.C. disorder.
Michael: Don’t call it that.
