The Super Bowl is in Tampa Bay, Florida this year and is an easy pick for our quote of the month as there’s only really Valentine’s Day that’s the other major event of substance in February (Sorry Black History Month, we’ll use the UK calendar date next time,we promise). There will be plenty of hype in the 2 weeks leading up to the Super Bowl as the media looks for any great audio clip or quote that they can find to try and build some sort of a suspense for the big game. There will also be plenty of great commercials during the game as well as plenty of food being eaten with the Super Bowl being the biggest day of any other where junk food is consumed. There are plenty of inspirational quotes from coaches on this day as well as from players from the winning teams after the game is over but there are also plenty of offbeat and humorous quotes as well. Duane Thomas was the running back for the Dallas Cowboys for 2 seasons and helped them win their first ever Championship.Due to his off-field antics, he was traded to the New England Patriots the very next season only to get into a fight with the coach and was shipped back to the Cowboys after the trade was voided. Acclaimed sports writer Hunter S. Thompson wrote that the year that Thomas returned to the cowboys, he refused to speak to his coaching staff and fellow players all season long. The coaching staff would call his number during plays and Thomas would go and do his job without communicating with anyone else. Well, it seems that Thomas wasn’t impressed either with the monstrosity that the Super Bowl has turned into. Many feel that the Super Bowl is nothing more than a large party without any importance on the actual game itself. Thomas was asked what he felt about the Super Bowl and here was his response….

“”If it’s the ultimate game, how come they’re playing it again next year?” – Duane Thomas

January’s quote of the month was a pretty easy choice. The first black president gets this year’s new quote of the month. There are many inspirational quotes from the new president of the United States but with the global economy being in the dumps right now there is no better quote then of Obama discussing money and its effects on people. It’s also a great quote to show Wall Street the value that money holds and how making money isn’t the only answer. We’ll forgo the usual introduction to the person behind the quote seeing as you’d have to be living under a rock to not know who Barack Obama is. Therefore, without further adieu, we give you this month’s and 2009’s new quote of the month.

“Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it’s only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential. ” – Barack Obama

Every once in a while, we like to take a random quote from some random subject of life. This month we’ll take a look at a random sarcastic quote that we found on the old google machine. After a bit of searching, we found out that there actually is a National Sarcasm Society so we’ll assume and give them the credit for coming up with this quote. Here’s our sarcastic quote for November that we found all by ourselves (But don’t congratulate us too much, we’re not really that good).

“I’m not sure what’s wrong… But it’s probably your fault.” – National Sarcasm Society

The month of October at BoobNewb means one thing and one thing only. HALLOWEEN! We could probably find some quote from some scary movie to pass off easily to finish this month’s quote but instead we’re giving it to a deserving individual/dead thing who deserves to make a television comeback. Of course, we’re talking about the corpse, the legend…The Cryptkeeper from HBO’s Tales from the Crypt. The Cryptkeeper and the show were both based on the EC Comics collection from the 1950s. HBO would go on to make a weekly horror anthology series on television with the Cryptkeeper introducing each horror story in the openings segment and then delivering a witty joke at the end of each episode to end the show. The series finished in 1997 but let’s hope they come up with another new crypt series soon so that we may see more of the Cryptkeeper in the foreseeable future. In the meantime, we leave you with the same quote that the Cryptkeeper would use to finish off every episode.

“Until the next time boils and ghouls plesant screams” – The Cryptkeeper
