robinswrong.com - April 2007

April 2007...

During the news, Howard asked the name of the football player who kept falling in the draft and they had to pull him off TV because it was so embarrassing.

Artie said Quinn, remembering the last name, but not the first. Robin then tried to say his name was Randy more then once, before Gary correctly stated it was Brady.



 

Robin then asked if Howard knew where George Doohan was today. Howard replied he didn't know where he was his whole life. Fred then corrected Robin saying his first name was James.  As in James Montgomery Doohan, who played Scotty on Star Trek.

Beam me up Scotty, there is no intelligent life in this news booth.  (4.30.07) -Durantman/robinswrong

 

 

Today during the news, Robin made it sound like the breast cancer gene gives women only a small chance of developing the disease: "It's not a guarantee Howard!!!!", she screeched.

But, women with the mutated gene that causes breast cancer actually have a 90% chance of developing breast cancer. 

Wrong again, Dr. Quivers.  (4.30.07) -Lawyer Mike

 

End of the world prophet Robin Quivers said today that if we destroy the Earth, she doesn't want to survive like Apocalypse Now and Mad Max and all those things that talk about what life will be like in the future when we destroy everything...And there will be people running around trying to figure out what to do.

While Mad Max was based in an apocalyptic setting, Apocalypse Now was set in the Vietnam War.  (4.30.07) -The Brooklyn Brawler
 

While talking with Eric the Midget about his new porn collection, Robin repeatedly referred to Eric's favorite actress, Brandy Taylor, as Brittney.

While it might not be important to Robin, we want to be accurate and make sure this beautiful ingénue is given the credit she deserves.(4.30.07) -Burbank Ball Buster.

 


 

During the news today Robin said that John McCain was on the campaign trail and was on stage with the Beach Boys singing "Bomb bomb bomb Iraq."  He was NOT with the Beach Boys and what he said was, "that old Beach Boys song, bomb Iran..."  (4.26.07) -Leslie

 

During the Mike Walker game today, Robin twice suggested that Keith Urban cannot be a genuine country music star because he is from Australia. I'm sure that being the 'ugly American' comes easily to Robin but as usual, she's also completely wrong.

Australia has a long tradition of country music that includes its own unofficial national anthem, 'Waltzing Matilda' and has produced internationally known artists such as Slim Dusty, Kasey Chambers, Sherrie Austin and, of course, Keith Urban.  G'day Mistake.  (4.26.07) -Bad Santa.

 

This post pretty much stays the same week in and week out, the only thing that changes are Robin's winning percentages as they continue to decline. Robin lost the Mike Walker game again today.

For 2007, Robin is 1 1/2 out of 14 (10.7%) and 4 1/2 out of her last 39 (11.5%).  (4.26.07) -robinswrong
 

 

Robin referred to Barbara Mikulski as a "State Senator" during her news today.

Senator Mikulski is a United States Senator, serving in the United States Congress, not a State Senator, who would serve in the Maryland General Assembly.  (4.25.07) -Hugh Blowmont

 


Robin reported that Jordin Sparks sang "You'll Never Walk Alone" on American Idol last night.  She added, "Can he do it better than Jerry?"  

Robin might be having gender issues since she broke up with her man, because Jordin Sparks is a girl.  (4.25.07) -Burbank Ball Buster


 

Today, while talking to Stone Cold Steve Austin about his action movie, Robin the mathematician chimed in that Bruce Willis was 60 years old.

Unfortunately, Bruce Willis's birthday is March 19th 1955, meaning he just turned 52.

If Robin wants to round up, why don't we just consider Robin to be 60 years old considering she's OLDER than Bruce?.  (4.25.07) -MS

 

 

On the show this morning, Howard asked Stone Cold Steve Austin about his fallout with Vince McMahon. Austin said it was creative differences and he didn’t like the direction so he left. Robin chimed in and said they (WWE) were the only game in town, it's not like there was another wrestling federation to go to. This is the second time she has made this mistake, the last time being October 6th, 2006.

TNA Wrestling has been around since May 2002. The queen of wrong body slammed once again!  (4.25.07) -GarbageRobin.
 

Today, Howard and the gang talked about American Idol and Simon going to Africa. Robin commented that she had lost all interest in the show since Sanjaya was voted off.

She attempted to invoked the cliché, “I couldn’t care less;” except that the queen of quotes got the phrase wrong. She said, “I could care less,” which, if you take it literally, means that Robin actually does care about the show. Omitting the negative (the n’t) is rather common, and an all too common occurrence for Robin.  (4.25.07) -hero1240


During the news Robin said that the upcoming movie Spiderman 3 was the last movie in the trilogy.

In fact, Sony is already planning 4, 5 and 6. Since there are going to be more movies, it isn't a trilogy.

The web slinger of misinformation strikes again!  (4.24.07) -Timbo1979.


 

Today in the news, Robin reported that the FBI was investigating a high school student for saying that he wanted to kill the President of the United States.

Actually, the U.S. Secret Service investigates threats on the President, not the FBI.

Hail to the Chief of mistakes.  (4.24.07) -5th Grade Civics Student.
 

 

Just announced on Bubba's show: Robin & Mr. X split up  (4.23.07) -robinswrong
 

 


 

 

When porn star Hillary Scott was on this morning she talked about her $1,000,000 contract. Business attorney and mathematician Robin Quivers immediately upon hearing that the $1,000,000 was for 4 years, blurted out, well then that is only a $250,000 contract!

Apparently, Robin’s contracts can only be for one year at a time. She's obviously never heard of multi-year contracts and the amount of the contract is always based on the total amount of the full term.  (4.23.07) -JS
 

Just like on January 18th, 2007 (as highlighted on HowardTV) Robin Quivers once again proved she doesn't know the name of NASA facilities. 

Sal complained about his marriage and talked about a future newspaper cover talking about a murder/suicide. Artie then requested if he thought Sal's marriage was headed in that direction, just don't do it at Virginia Tech.  Howard said pick a different college and Robin interrupted and said pick the Johnson Space Flight Center. 

It's really just the "Johnson Space Center," always abbreviated "JSC" for us folks down here in Houston.  (4.23.07) -Shut Uppa You Face!.


During the discussion of the Virginia Tech shooter this morning Robin Quivers said Cho Seung Hui was, "born a serial killer, he was born to be a serial killer."

It should be a surprise to nobody that Robin Quivers doesn't know the difference between a serial killer and a mass murderer. 

Per Wikipedia.com:

Serial Killer: someone who kills three or more people in three or more separate events, over a period of more than 30 days, including an "emotional cooling-off" period in between the homicides.

Mass Murderer: the act of murdering a large number of people, typically at the same time, or over a relatively short period of time. Mass murder may be committed by individuals or organizations.  (4.23.07) -hero1240.
 

This morning the gang started to talk about the infamous message Alec Baldwin left for his daughter Ireland. Howard explained how Baldwin has it setup because he lives on a different coast, he can call his daughter every day.  Then Howard started to say how kids don't always want to hear from their father when Robin interrupted and said, she's a teenager.

Baldwin's daughter is eleven. Eleventeen might be a word in Robin's world, but most people know that a teenager is between the ages of 13 and 19.  (4.23.07) -robinswrong


While talking about Kate Beckinsale, Howard asked "who's she doing?"   Robin responded, "She's married to some guy.  She stays out of the tabloids."  

On being married to "some guy"...that's some great insight.  And on the tabloid comment, a quick "Kate Beckinsale scandal" search immediately produced a tabloid article.  (4.19.07)  -Burbank Ball Buster


During her news segment Robin said Cho Seung Hui probably sent his tape to NBC because he liked Brian Wilson.

I guess that would make sense if the Beach Boys were employed by NBC. Brian Williams did however play the tape on the nightly news.  (4.19.07) -JonnyAppleseed

 

After Sourshoes chatted with the gang today, Robin said he'd been good all week but this time was a "clinker."

I doubt if Sourshoes was a brick left in the kiln too long. An unsuccessful joke is sometimes called a "clunker."

http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/clinker
http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/clunker

Even if Sourshoes was less than successful this time, he'll never match the Queen of Clunkers constant flunking when it comes to word usage.  (4.19.07) -Burbank Ball Buster
 

Today Howard was teasing Artie because he went out to get food and became light headed. Howard was messing with Artie and said Artie must have passed out. Howard told him it was now really April 19, 2011. Robin then chimed in and said yes you missed 3 years! 

Robin math: 2011-2007 = 3  (4.19.07) -Fabian.


In today's Mike Walker game, Robin lost.....again.

For 2007, Robin is 1 1/2 out of 13 (11.5%) and 4 1/2 out of her last 38 (11.8%). 

It was revealed that Fred has a true insight into how to win the game today. Robin will now probably let Fred guess before her every week and piggyback his choice.  (4.19.07) -robinswrong


Aren't we glad that Robin took the time to set the Kitty Carlisle Hart record straight this morning when she stated, "I heard somebody say she was on To Tell the Truth but she was on What's My Line?".

According to AOL: "But she was probably best known as one of the celebrity panelists on the popular game show "To Tell the Truth." She appeared on the CBS prime-time program from 1956 to 1967 with host Bud Collyer and fellow panelists such as Polly Bergen, Johnny Carson, Bill Cullen and Don Ameche."

One more example of Robin's innate need to be wrong, in an authoritative manner.  (4.19.07) -Genman

Just a day after Robin stated that she was that only person that she knew that didn't have any racism in them, she dropped in "I" bomb.  Not I as in Imus, but I for Indians.  After Howard mentioned that he had taken back a favor he had offered, Robin called him an Indian giver.

The self proclaimed non-racist will probably not be winning any PC awards this year.  (4.19.07) -P Flores/robinswrong


The gang was discussing the purchase of Manhattan from the Indians on the show this morning. Historian Robin Quivers opined that the purchase was made possible because the Indians were nomadic people...they didn't believe in land ownership. Tell that to the descendants of General Custer!  (4.19.07) -The Amazed Listener



 

During the Paul Mooney interview today the topic of Imus and his comments came up once again. Robin said she was the only person she knows that doesn't have any racism in them.

Just a few minutes later, Robin said the other day an Asian got on the elevator and she thought, I never had to be afraid of you before and now I’ve got to give you a second look. (4.18.07) -Jason F


At the start of the show this morning, Howard and the gang were discussing Cho Seung Hui and the Virginia Tech killings.

According to Officer Robin Quivers, "in this society you can't just drag people off the street when they are crazy." Police officers get numerous calls about people who suffer from mental illness or are EDPs (emotionally disturbed persons). Those people can be dragged off the streets if they appear that they could cause harm to themselves or others.  (4.18.07) -Policeman Pete


Robin referred to Virginia Tech during her news as, "Virginia Tech University" which is incorrect. While the full name of the school is Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, it is only referred to as Virginia Tech, and very rarely as VPI, but never Virginia Tech University.  (4.17.07) -Matt

 

During the news, Robin did a story on Savannah Samson the porn star.  Mentioned during the story was her recent recording contract with KOCH Records.  Robin though cannot read and pronounced the word "Koch" as "cock." 

Get your mind out of the gutter Robin. (4.17.07) -Black Tits


 

Robin reported a story about Jann Wenner during her news. Howard began to list the magazines Wenner publishes: Rolling Stone, Us Weekly...when Robin interrupted and added, "Men's Health or something like that."

No need to be specific or anything.  The name of the other magazine is Men's Journal. Maybe Robin should really begin to read the articles before it is her time on the air?  (4.17.07) -Black Tits/robinswrong


After playing a clip of Richard Jeni's girlfriend, Howard asked Robin why it always appears the person who commits suicide is happy.  Robin said she didn't know why Howard didn't ask Dr. Artie because he is the one that can actually cure depression. Then Robin reminded Howard that Artie had been talking to Chris Kanyon about depression.

Artie said they had been playing phone tag and Howard said not to delay it if he can cure him. Artie said he didn't say he could cure him and Robin screeched, yes you did! Artie responded that he could help him, not cure him.  To which Robin responded, that's the same thing isn't it!

According to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary:
help: to give assistance or support
cure: a complete or permanent solution or remedy

There are several other definitions but make no mistake about it, help and cure are in no way synonymous.  (4.17.07) -Hero1240

Howard had Dave Delaturza, creator of Votefortheworst.com, to talk about American Idol on the show today. Howard asked if Delaturza was on David Letterman last night or going to be a guest tonight. Delaturza said tonight to which Robin Quivers asked, you're a sit down guest on Letterman?

Frankly, I was expecting to see him to do three minutes of stand-up or sing a song.....  (4.17.07) -QuietQuivers

 



Today, during the discussion of the Virginia Tech shooting, Robin stated with mucho-gusto that the shooter was identified as a Chinese national.

Maybe Robin thinks they all look the same, but this particular gunman was a native of South Korea.  (4.17.07) -SeansRight

 

Robin has now taken to dispensing legal advice, and wrong advice, of course. While reporting Imus's slanderous statements about Beth, Robin interjected, "She can still sue! There's no statute of limitations." Robin, go back to the track for another 50 laps: murder is the only crime for which there is no statute of limitations. For slander and other intentional torts, the plaintiff has one year to file his complaint.

Maybe Robin attended the Hollywood Upstairs Law School?  (4.16.07) -King of All Lawyers


Robin today asked what billionaire it is that uses his publicist to double as a matchmaker. Artie then asked how many billionaires there are and Robin said Forbes has a list of 500.

Forbes had a list of 500, it was known as the Forbes 500, an annual list of the top 500 American companies. According to another Forbes article, there are 946 billionaires

What's wrong with being off by 446 billionaires between friends?  (4.16.07) -robinswrong

Howard played some clips that Richard and J.D. recorded at the Chiller Theater event this past weekend. Before one of the clips Howard asked to be reminded who Sybil Danning is. Robin, without hesitation, blurted out that she was in one of the Conan movies.

Sybil Danning was in Hercules, not "one of the Conan movies".  (4.16.07) -Thulsa Doom

 

During the interview with David Arquette today, Howard asked him his thoughts on the Imus situation. During the discussion, they mentioned the target of Imus's remarks, the Rutgers Women's B-Ball team. Robin referred to the team as "National Champions." They in fact lost the game to Tennessee 59-46.  (4.16.07) -Flex Albright


 

Today on the show Lisa G was talking about an item from Page 69 with Jason and Will. She said there was a Stern staffer who was in the elevator and an anonymous woman, who looked like Shirley from What's Happening, came over to him and told him she wanted to give him oral. The Stern staffer said yes and they were going to meet at his car, but he never heard from the woman again.

Robin than asked, is this someone we know? Howard quickly brushed off her question and said yes it's one of our staff people.

You would think as much money as Robin makes, she could afford to pay attention.  (4.16.07) -Scuba Steve/robinswrong

Robin was talking about the Toyota Pro/Celebrity car race she was in last weekend and mentioned the winner, Dave Mirra, whom she described as having won gold medals in the Olympics. Mirra is an accomplished BMX pro-bike racer, but has not won any Olympic medals.

Watch out for that hairpin turn, Robin. It may have rattled your brain!  (4.16.07) -The Amazed Listener

 

Howard said his ratings were four times Imus' ratings when he was on terrestrial radio. He then said Imus was at about a two share, Howard was at a nine share.

Howard then asked rhetorically whether his ratings were in fact 4 times those of Imus. Robin Einstein chimed in: "NO!"

Who is counting Robin's laps on the race track?  (4.16.07) -The Amazed Listener
 

Robin started 14th and finished 14th in the Toyota Pro/Celebrity race today.  She would have finished last had there not been a crash towards the end of the race and another car that suffered mechanical difficulties. Robin also had the worst qualifying time. (4.14.07) -HubieG/Quiet Quivers.  Thanks to copter for the video!

In today's Mike Walker game, Robin guessed first, a certain recipe for failure!

Artie went along with Robin and hopefully learned his lesson! Fred and Howard won this week. For 2007, Robin is 1 1/2 out of 12 (12.5%) and 4 1/2 out of her last 37 (12.2%).  (4.13.07) -The Amazed Listener
