Shut up and listen:So it's 15 minutes before midnight and I'm VERY tired because I have stayed up to do all this Quote of the Week stuff. I hope you're happy because I'm too sleepy to think of anything but a caramel macciato.
In happier news that does not involve my sleep habits, Frederique won last week's little battle of how-long-Micheline-can-pay-attention with her quote "And they're coming during passover, so if you're Jewish you can take them to temple! What an exciting experience for people whose ancestors kicked out the Jews! It could be vengeance." - Frederique, on hosting Spanish exchange students. Congrats to Frederique and kudos to those who make sure this actually happens. Although I'm not sure you'll get them to step through the door of the temple unless you're dragging them...wait, that was mean. I'm sorry. No I'm not. I'm too brain-dead to care.
Anyways, on the nominees, but first a side note. You'll notice the Honorable Mentions (when it comes out) contains some very funny quotes. I'm sorry to say it was very hard to pick only ten and some nominee-worthy ones had to be pushed aside. So, here you go:
"Don't try this at home kids. It's all fun and games until someone gets poked in the eye and then it's fun you can't see." - The Whip Boy at King Richard's Faire
"It is not that the world comes in threes, it is that we arrange it in threes.and after 3 years of Philosophy in college you'll understand what the hell I'm talking about." - Mr. Young
"Yeah, someone you can kick on the side." - Becky, on being Mike's sidekick.
"Team Spirit." - Becca in response to "Who are the soccer gods and what form does their wrath take?"
"Just remember, no matter how ugly you may be, how spastic, how moronic... no matter how much of an asshole, or how inept you may be... even Hitler had a girlfriend." - Josh Stroh
"If you have carneys at a carnival, shouldn't you have fairies at a fair?" - Roz
"Humor just isn't humour without the 'u.' Oh, wait; yes, it is...." - Andrea Lam
"Well, I'd say 'team' is a strong word ... but there IS fencing." - Reed college representative, on sports at Reed
"It's not hazing, it's free love." - Harry Alper, not related to Kate Alper
"It's so hard to look at the bright side when the dark side is so apparent." - Dewey
Well, that was fun, wasn't it. And to all those who don't know what the honorable mentions are, they are an extra bundle of funny quotes that aren't as funny as the nominees, or so I hope. I probably sound very bitter throughout this e-mail, so I'll end on a light note. ::LIGHT NOTE::
