February 2, 2003:
Voters:Last week's winning quote was "I want to know how it is that these three guys all have girlfriends, and yet they continually molest each other." -Jennie, on Miller, Roz, and Josh. Congratulations to Jennie, and apologies to Julian for calling the award in his favor before all the votes had come in.
A quick review of the voting process: I send you a list of nominees. You arrange them from best to worst, as you see fit, including and excluding whichever quotes you choose (it's recommended that you rank all quotes, but it's not required). Then email your ballot back to me as just a list of names (don't include the quotes themselves). If one person has multiple quotes, distinguish between them with parenthetical statements like on this sample ballot:
1. George Bush (children)
2. George Bush (subliminable)
3. Al Gore (lockbox)
4. Al Gore (fuzzy math)
And now, the nominees:
"I'm sorry, my boy, but I've had so much whisky I don't think I'll ever be able to understand you again." -Roswell Thomas, to Ben Miller
"Death by de-knee-capitation!" -Julian Hyde
"We are going to see it, and I don't care who will make fun of us." -Caroline Orlin, on Bat Boy: The Musical
"The only good thing to come out of British imperialism is how everyone speaks the same language that I do." -Alex George
"I am lusting for life all by my lonesome." -Sam Zegas
"Ah, there's no justice like mob justice." -Julian Hyde
"Seriously, a bunch of grown people onstage singing 'shimmy do wah kow kee kee' is funny." -Jenn Orlin, on a capella
"I hate it when people say, 'I corrupted you.' It's so pretentious. I can corrupt myself just fine, thank you very much." -Roswell Thomas
"The only productive thing I got done during that meeting was knitting." -Ms. Jackman, on grading meetings
Because people seem to have trouble meeting the deadline, the voting period will now extend to Tuesday, giving me time to harass people at school if they haven't voted.
CURRENT NUMBER OF QOTW MEMBERS: 25
QOTW MOTTO: "Nobody's got no class"
AMENDMENT TO QOTW MOTTO: "Except for Eloise"
-Ben "we'll all show up absent" Orlin
