I think it's reasonable to say that we owe Tom Cruise a debt of gratitude for this week. His pleasant brand of batshit insanity has garnered many a pageview for this here site, and I think that should somehow be recognized. So, I'm doing it the best way I know how. After the jump you'll find my picks for the best Cruise-related comments of the week. Enjoy, you miserable bastard SPs.

From mathnet in The Tom Cruise Indoctrination Video Scientology Tried To Suppress:

"Ouch! [Mathnet gets hit by falling frog.]"

From Furious_George in The Tom Cruise Indoctrination Video Scientology Tried To Suppress:

"'I'd like to go on vacation with Scientology. I don't care who knows it! Just me and big, muscly, smooth, oiled-up, sweaty Scientology. Wrestling on some beach in Hawaii. Nude. Wrestling. Just having a good old fashioned romp. That's how much I love Scientology.'"

From KarenUhOh in Why Are Aussies Such Pussies When It Comes To Tom Cruise?:

"Or maybe it's because the Australian National Dish has been named after Tom and Katie: Shrimp on the Barbie."

From ClarenceRosario in Church of Scientology Claims Copyright Infringement:

"That's a pretty weak attempt at getting commenter privileges, Ms. Paquette."

From CaptainFantastic in Katie Holmes to Letterman: I Was In High School When I Did The Pilot, I Was Out Of High School When We Did It:

"She looked like Gidget on stilts walking out."

[OK, not directly about Tom, but still: Ha!]

Your Party Pick this week went to the always awe-inspiring CodePink for her work in New Blog At The New Yorker:

"That's funny, 'cuz I have a new blog on my blog. It's called Blogged Blog: The Weblog. I plan on blogging about it later. We'll see if I get to it. I already have a blog to blog on so sometimes I get overblogged, or "blogged down" as we say in the bloggin' biz. All blogging aside, I have to go blog now. Goodblog!"
