Kind Words
"Watch out, Abe, and step back, Obama — we’ve got some new celebrities in town.
Kevin Smith and the rest of Illuminati Motor Works are steppin’ right outta the cornfields and directly into the limelight . . . the TV limelight, that is.
Since we last heard from them [see Amanda Robert, “Eyes on the prize,” March 27], IMW has started negotiations with a feature documentary company from Chicago. If the deal goes through, “Seven” — their supergreen X Prize automotive contender — will be showcased in all its glory on the big screen.
The group has also been contacted by VPRO Television, a Dutch company filming a news documentary on alternative fuels, and by WealthTV, the California company responsible for the Wealth on Wheels television series.
Who’s the underdog now?" ("Illuminati Illuminated," Illinois Times, 4/17/08.)

Best of Luck to you gentlemen." - Charlene (on SJ-R.com article)

Sloppy Gush

Quotes from the Wives
"I don't care if you're making a rocket ship to the moon. Quit hanging from the rafters and get your ass in here while dinner's still warm." - Mrs. Smith
"Are you Xcar-ing today?" - Mrs. Hecht
"I think we may want to buy stock in the jeans company - he can't seem to come home with his jeans in one piece anymore! He walks in the door with a blackened face and is filthy from head to toe - I kinda like it! All that matters to me is that he is having a great time throughout this whole process. This is yet another great life experience to add to the books!" - Mrs. Spradlin
