- "I have never gotten anything less than an A- when poster board is involved. So — bazinga! I'd make a poster of the life and times of Markie's family. Guaranteed to melt his parents' hearts."
- "So, Marc, as you can see, we don't use the word "pot" very often in stories. But you also see that it is used frequently in headlines. The reason is simple and has nothing to do with a lack of respect for medical marijuana users. When it comes to headlines, size matters, and the word "pot" fits in a lot more places than "marijuana." It's really that simple. It would be easy to figure that headline writers just aren't what they used to be, that they've gone to pot, so to speak (bazinga!)."
- "Anyone have a good guess as to what the bazinga is that I've crudely circled in this photo?"
