I’m finding the conversation:

Liz-What a week  
Jack-Lemon, it’s Wednesday

to be extraordinarily apt lately, and all the mutations (“What a month” “Lemon, it’s March”, etc) equally as painfully funny

I laugh literally every time Tracy says “Liz Lemon”. I don’t know why but it strikes me as funny.

Also (slight paraphrase): “NBC’s plan is to make it 1996 again either through Science or Magic”.

Also Also: Tracy: “I just understood the ending of the Sixth Sense! Those are the people who worked on the movie!”

As a Clevelander I’m partial to the season 5 episode where Jack says, “For God’s sakes, Lemon. We’d all like to flee to the Cleve and club-hop down at the Flats and have lunch with Little Richard, but we fight those urges because we have responsibilities.”

I always thought it was pronounced spa-CHEE-man.

> Tina Fey got a lot of her crazier dialog from her then-toddler daughter, Alice. I think “I want to go to there” was hers. I can’t remember any more for sure, but I’m pretty sure the name of Jenna’s “Janis Joplin” tribute character, “Jackie Jormp-Jomp”, and a lot of Tracy Jordan’s dialog is Alice-inspired.

Did you have to remind me? “Little Jackie Jormp-Jomp” (what I call _America’s Got Talent_ winner Grace VanderWaal) was supposed to perform at Napa’s BottleRock festival before it got cancelled.

At the 2013 Emmys, the show’s PA announcer was talking about Tina Fey (I think she had just won for Leading Comedy Series Actress) and said that the had been nominated for co-writing the song, “The Rural Janitor.” **FLERM**

When did gum get so soft, you sons of bitches? You know what this country use to chew? Tree bark. Glass. Shotgun shells. The broken swords of our vanquished enemies. That’s why I buy Bazooka Joe Gum. It’s like chewing a mountain that someone shot a freeze ray into.
