Feel free to add words and phrases to the list.

Now I just incessantly play them in the background on my computer while doing housework and have subsequently memorized A LOT of the dialogue. Lame, I know. Meh. -
Yay! Two contacts!

Yep, that'd be appreciated :)

The 5,000 kids in attendance spent their time inside dancing and singing along to Soulja Boy’s hit song “Crank Dat,�? the chorus of which repeats, “Watch me crank that soulja boy, then superman that ho,�? which most young people know is a disgustingly explicit sexual innuendo. Shortly after, the Grenada Middle School cheerleaders performed their catchy cheer “Stop, don’t touch me there! You know this is my no-no square,�? outlining the shape of a box around their shorts.
