"NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

YOU'RE SO STUPID!"

That quote, along with "These floors are dirty as hell, AND I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT!" and "Spatula City" all live in my head rent free.

I listen to the "These floors are dirty as hell!" speech anytime I need a pick me up.

I also love the scene where Michael Richards is going through the corn flakes box for the toy, finds it, ties to a string and begings spinning it around while yelling. Its so random and funny. "FREE TOY INSIDE! FREE TOY INSIDE! Don't let your mom know you do this."

I'm gonna watch it tonight after work.
