To all you most devoted Quote[ation] of the week readers,Is there a better way to start your day than my composing a qotw e-mail? No, I say, and so I bring you... the e-mail.
In breaking news, Becca Thal has won this past week's contest for Quote of the Week. It was a grueling fight but in the end, by poking Dylan in the eye with one vote, Becca emerged victorious with her quote "I forgot Mother's Day, so I made repentant French toast. It tasted of guilt."
And now for the nominees:
"Maybe you have guilt in your nose." - Will on Becca's stuffy nose
"When the PA announcer said that Kevin "the greek god of walks" Youkilis was coming to the plate, Becky was very confused; she thought maybe he was a professional chef." - Miller
"I'm down to the last few pages [in my notebook]. I hope we don't learn any more." - Becky
"I plan on skipping out on judgement day. They'll call out 'Julian Hyde? Julian Hyde?' and I'll be out getting a sundae or something." - Julian
"Hey.how you doin' big boy?" - Mr. Phillips to an integral that worked out to 1/(2x) + C
"The Maltatude of merchandise offered by the Sovereign Military Order of Malta is most impressive." - Max Cohen. The SMOM is the world's smallest sovereign states; it sells cufflinks and mugs on its website.
"Chick Flicks depress me. Scandinavian bombings cheer me up." - Mr. Young
"[Seeing my gay friends get married] reminded me that some day I could get married too. Then I remembered that required another person." - Mr. Sherry
"It's vert-e-bra! A support system that's attached to your spine!" - Joanna
"The internet is like a woman; you got to treat her just right or she'll throw water in your face and storm out of the room." - Paul Cavallaro
Now for business. If you'd like to unsubscribe to this e-mail (Why would you want to unsubscribe to this e-mail?) send an e-mail to quoteoftheweek-unsubscribe@qotw.net. If you'd like to subscribe to honorable mentions (it's like quote of the week ++!) send an e-mail to honorablementions-subscribe@qotw.net. And finally if you'd like to pelt me with dungbombs, send an e-mail to...actually, don't pelt me with dungbombs. Before I go, I'd like to remind you to vote (if you don't know how you can visit http://www.qotw.net/howtovote.html). Or maybe what I mean is a bit harsher than 'remind'. Perhaps 'command'. Perhaps I'll show you who your master is if you don't. Happy Voting!
