Rock Manning Goes for Broke Quotes

“The non-news channels went back to showing regular stuff, except with closed captions for everybody. All the words at the bottom of the screen made all the old sitcoms look like French movies, so I kept waiting for Jennifer Aniston to smoke or commit incest.”
― Charlie Jane Anders, Rock Manning Goes for Broke

“All my life, there had been a giant empty space, a huge existential void, that had needed to be filled by something, and I had never realized that that thing was the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, with its sleek red hot dog battering ram surrounded by a metal bun. It was like the Space Battleship Yamato made of bread and pork, made of metal. This MIT student named Matt had been souping up the Wienermobile with a high-performance electric engine and all-terrain wheels, just saving it for the right occasion. Somehow, Janelle had convinced Matt that our little adventure was it. The tires were the perfect mud color to match the lower part of the chassis, which Matt had rescued from a scrap yard in Burlington.”
