A copy editor trying to fact check a story with the Sports editor and reporter.

Copy: They lost 7-0, but played 9 matches?
Reporter: They played 3 doubles matches for 1 point, and they...
Copy: You don't need to explain it, cause I'll never understand it. I just want to make sure it's right.

Proving that when it comes to fact checking, making sense doesn't matter, just as long as it's correct.

Overheard after Samato lost the RoShemBo for $20 at Yogi's Grill and Bar, the only Grill and Bar in Bloomington.

Photo editor: She lost it hard. Like a virgin on prom night. It was long. It was excruciating. And it was embarrassing.
Photog: Well it started out good.

New photog: You said if we didn't know, or had any questions, to ask!
Photo editor: Yeah, but I meant anyone but me.

Context: An important designer stepped out, and a photographer decided to change the headline font to Comic Sans, and kerned in at -70

Photog: I don't care what it looks like, just as long as it fits.

Photo editor: "There's too much hair in my face."
Photog: "That's what she said."

Reporter: It's huge. I'm not used to seeing it that big. (talking about skybox)
Editor: That's what she said!

Sarah: I needed to check out a camera.

Me: Man, this thing is old.

Sarah: Yea, they tried to give me a big one but I didn't know what I was doing.

Me: That's what she said.

Large: "It was only good for like 4 seconds."

Mick J: "That's what she said."

Ryan: They only had pictures of Chinese markets, you asshole.
Sara: Hey! Don't curse in the newsroom, bitch.
Ryan: Shut up, cock sucker. ... Do you really wanna go with me Jersey Girl? I'm from the midwest, I can swear for days.

Ben: You need to Apple-Q your life.
Sara: I've tried to apple-z my way back to the womb.

Sara: "Want to go to Qdoba?"

Ryan: "Yes. You don't get to come."

"That's what she said."

SA: "I can't get his ass back on."

Poor Mr. Potatohead :(

Me: yea we're struggling journalists

LB: "I don't know. I just typed in 'epic music'."

Coder on the phone at 4:30 a.m.:

"Well how much longer will you be up for? ... Well how much is left in the bottle?"

"Can I have a cracka? A honkey?"

SA: "I had five in my mouth."

LB: "If I had a list of the things I hate the most they would be:
1. Joan Rivers
2. Comic Sans
3. Black to white gradients
4. Exclamation Marks
5. And that background" (pointing to his mug shot)

Saamato: "Where am I on the list?"

LB: "Right after creamed corn. And I hate creamed corn."

"You can do me later."

"Nice: I'm bringing sexy back."
"No, you're not. No one in this newsroom is bringing sexy back. This is the ugliest newsroom ever."

"Do you want some sour cream?"
"Yeah. Gimme some of that white stuff."
