My wife is obsessed with a line from a live recording that goes "Goodnight Minneapolis Saint Paul I fucking love ya!" We go out and shes dropping that in the bar and people are just like WTF? Haha! What show is that from?

When doing something boring (like getting school books this morning) Missy and I like to lean over and observe "Smoking weed and making money" like in "Lake St is for Lovers."

My statisticly significant other tells me I speak with a certain tone whenever I quote Hold Steady.

I'm gonna make it though this year, if it kills me (and it almost kills me) I'm such a dork

i have used the phrase "you've gotta dance with who you came to the dance with" many, many a time. I have a problem with this line because, in my civilian [non-THS] life, I learned it as "You gotta dance with the one that brung you." So it just doesn't sound right to me.

I drop frequent lines in conversation, and every huge once in a while someone will pick up on it.

So it just doesn't sound right to me. i'd never heard that phrase before like i assumed THS coined 'drove it like she stole it' and 'hoodrat' for awhile.... hooray for being out of touch with hip hop

i have used the phrase "you've gotta dance with who you came to the dance with" many, many a time. I used this in a very important meeting with our board of Directors. It got minuted. They all started saying it. It got me a big project to Manage. MD: "As Steve has rightly stated "You gotta dance with who you came to the dance with"" Steve: "You gotta go with what got you there" MD: "That is the sort of decision making we need in this company" Steve: "You gotta make do with what they gave to you" MD: "That's why we're putting you in charge of this project, Steve"

my co-worker said he's had some 'massive nights' lately. could be a coincidence. could be him 'taking the piss'. could be that he's become a fan and dosen't want me to gloat

I have used, amongst other lines, but most memorably "she was damn good dancer but she wasn't all that great of a girlfriend" after asked my thoughts on a swing class I just completed. My gf was not impressed!!

My gf was not impressed!! ...ouch man... Well at least you didn't say "We thought she was a dancer but her steps they made the records skip."

I frequently say "you gotta dance with who you came to the dance with" whenever the oppurtunity arises. Which is quite often, surprisingly.
