February 29, 2004:
Most Dearest Quotificators:Another week comes, another week goes, and we try not to think about how many APs we'll be taking or how soon that paper on Hamlet is due, so to distract you and generally aid in your procrastination attempts, we have a fresh, warm, gooey bunch of quotes.
But first! Last week's winner, in the umpteenth tie-breaker (I lost count and really didn't feel the need to go back and count up the number of rounds I went through for you fools- I mean- my constituency) a clear (well, rather muddled and fuzzy) winner emerged:
"If you have not signed up for a museum by 2:40 today, I am taking a group to Weston to the Postal Art museum. We will look at stamps for four hours, then I think we'll go to Rhett's house for a 'safe-party.'" - "Wild" Bill Wharton, on sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, and museum day.
Please remember to vote for your most favoritest votes- your voice counts, but only if you raise it above the clanking, whirring of the Sophomore Griping Machines. All ballots must conform to the guidelines clearly set out on the QOTW website (http://www.qotw.net/~qotw/howtovote.html) or else they will be summarily rejected (and you thought those Miami folks were picky- just you wait!). Now, the quotations:
"I dont come to Spanish class to think!" -Ben Copans
"If you want to behave like animals you can go to BB&N" - Larry Geffin, surveying the Commonwealth lobby
"It's not like I'm coming in with a Diet Coke IV" -Mr. Young, holding several plastic bags of Diet Coke, allegedly for drinking over several weeks
"It's kind of like being raised by wolves?" -Cameron, on the romaticized aspects of Sam Houston's abduction and upbringing by Native Americans
"There are some schools that require you to have a 1400 or a 1500. unless you're a hockey player" -Mr. Whelan, on SAT I scoring
"It's a White week, just like every other week in America" -Donna, on the system of alternating colored weeks (white and red) in the Commonwealth Jobs program
"We know what war is like vicariously though Fox News and CNN" -Matt, on Americans
"I have tea. Do you have a death wish?" -Andrea Lam, miffed
"No actually I think he said, 'Hello SAT, my name is circle, circle, circle, G- circle, circle, circle, A- circle, circle, circle, B.'" -Max Cohen, on Gabe Billings preparing for the SAT I
"I say, any school that won't take my baby should be firebombed. Harvard? Pow! Yale? Pow! Then nobody will have a degree that competes with my baby's." -Becca's mom (we assume Thal, but we received no confirmation of this).
Please remember that today is February 29, not March 1, it's embarrasing to miss a day, especially a day that only comes once every four years. It's been great, see you around the ethereal globe or however that hymn goes.
