June 22, 2003:
QOTW Members:I am not addressing you as "voters" because there will be no voting during the summer. I would never place that sort of responsibility on your shoulders during this, the most stressful of seasons.
After only four people were smart enough to request the official list of every quote ever to appear in QOTW since December, I've decided to attach it to this email.
Here are some quotes. Enjoy.
"Molarity has to do with moles, molality has to do with mass, and morality has nothing to do with me!" -Josh
"Get a huge sausage filled with cancer. Get extra cancer." -Dan Strimpel, advising David Pfau on what to eat at a Red Sox game
"She was there and we were bored... that's the cause of most teen pregnancies, isn't it?" -Bart, somehow related to building a sandcastle
"Only this will last longer than a teen pregnancy. Wait, that's not right." -Julian, in response to Bart, on the sandcastle
"I don't like to repeat myself twice." -Ben Warren (my driving instructor. A vile man.)
"Commonwealth guys go to a boot camp to learn how to be awful at talking to girls." -Bess
"Pedestrians are small and very soft. They splatter easily." -Bill the Driving Instructor
And since that's only eight quotes and I usually include ten, here's a blast from the past: the nominees and winner from the very first week of QOTW (April 21, 2002).
NOMINEES:
"Life is full of happiness and sorrow, but mostly just boredom." -Fourth Grader Eloise (well, she was in fourth grade then)
"Goodnight, beautiful." -Miller, to Josh
"Think of yourself as a glorified donut..." -Ms. Nulty, on developmental biology
WINNER:
"Gender is an illusion." -Julian
That wraps things up. Until next week.
-Ben "bringing a sense of community to our inner cities" Orlin
