December 22, 2002:
I'm a few days late, I know, but my email was down all weekend, and then I got lazy. So sue me. It's my award ceremony.A quick review of the voting rules for those of you joining us late: I list several nominees for the prestigious (meaning "useless") Quote of the Week Award. You email me back with the nominees listed in order of preference, with the subject line of your email reading "Quote of the Week, December 22". Your votes determine the winner. (You'll notice that QOTW uses an instant runoff voting system, far preferable to the antiquated system used by our United States government--one more reason why QOTW ought to be instituted as the fourth branch of the government, or at least as its own political party).
Congratulations to last week's winner, Poulod, for his quote of "In the study hall of life, Jesus is the proctor."
And now, this week's nominees:
"At least people read the Leek." -William Collis, on Litmag
"Every time you say that, I consider fleeing to South America." -Julian, to Alex after he said "You'll see tomorrow morning."
"We like you, just not your opinions." -Josh, to Reilly
"Those who can't retain their knitting balls usually can't retain other things as well." -Mr. Davis, to Kate
"I steal because I care." -Julian, on obtaining gifts
"It's like Joys of Sex, only better." -Ms. Jackman, on Joys of Knitting
Because this email is going out late, and Christmas Eve is tomorrow, voting will end on Friday at midnight. (Midnight seems like a good time for a deadline.)
-Ben "Aar" "Deion" "Slugg" "Frederick" "Small Little Friar" "Matchmaker" "Borlin" Orlin
