The best TV quote. Ever.

Thu, 01 Feb 2007 06:57:17 GMT

The best quote ever comes from tonight's episode of Beauty & The Geek where my buddy Niels is starring. Niels, I cannot believe you said:

"If number one were a booger, I'd pick it first."

Niels, why, oh, why, would you say that on National television? But if you didn't, I guess I wouldn't be able to quote you. Then again, who am I to be giving advice on what to say on television, remember my application to Survivor was denied :)

Beauty and the Geek -- How did Niels do?

Unfortunately I haven't yet seen the season premiere of Beauty and the Geek where my friend Niels is starring. I'll likely watch it tonight though and have my commentary good and ready for my blog the day after :)

For those that did watch it, what did you think? Is Niels geeky enough for you? :)

Niels meets Beauty and the Geek

I met Niels quite a number of years ago (maybe 4?) when he interviewed for a position at Microsoft. I was the assigned "entertainer" to take him out to dinner for the evening. It wasn't by chance that I was chosen -- Niels is actually a friend of Craig.. actually more than a friend, they were also college roomates back at Rice University. Niels and I haven't spent that much time together in the previous 4 years, but we managed to get to know each other really well this past July 4th when he was up here visiting for a week.

It turns out that Niels is on the next season of the TV show Beauty and the Geek. Yes, I now know someone famous (or soon to be famous)! If you don't know already, I love reality TV shows and actually applied for Survivor. I'm still bitter about my quick rejection due to the fact I'm not an American citizen.. don't get me started...

Anyways, back to Niels. Due to the contact he signed, he can't tell any of his friends what happened on the show or what the outcome actually was. It's going to be hilarious to watch the show week to week here in Seattle and be actually rooting for someone I know!
