All hail QOTW and HM members! QOTW and HM members, all hail! When are people gonna learn that there are few things more dangerous than giving me power?Well, you brought this on yourself. Or perhaps Orlin brought it on you.
Yeah, lynch Orlin.
Certainly it was very...interesting to be Quoter during play week. Things are just so much funnier when you haven't slept in five days!
Oh, shut up and get on with the quotes.
No, must entertain with inane banter.
No one could find this remotely entertaining, so shut up.
But -- but --
Shut up and save face before I make you declaim more Latin.
No! Anything but that!
Um ... We're all gonna pretend that all didn't happen... Without further ado, QOTW November 23 2003.
Last week's winner was Ben Orlin with his fabulous Dayenu quote, "Have you ever wondered why your people were oppressed for 2,000 years? This is why."
And here are the nominees. If you don't remember how to vote, you are clearly of substandard mental abilities and therefore incapable of comprehending the sophisticated humor of QOTW. For therapy, go to http://www.qotw.net/~qotw/howtovote.html.
OK! Nominiminees! Yay!
"That is the great lesson of the 1790s: fighting for the rights of man can be sexy." - Mr. Young
"We're just going to hope we get lucky. Who would have thought that in math class it might happen?" - Mr. Sherry
"So the boys grow up and join the army and the girls become mommies and stay at home. I get society now!" - Mariah, while observing the toys stocked by FAO Schwartz
"We could be Hell's Mermaids." - Roz, proposing a name for a Commonwealth biker gang
"If I undo that ribbon, will your head fall off?" - Andrea Lam, on Morgan Rappaport's choice of neck adornment
"Mind you, there are lots of people that don't exist." - Helen Palmer (Joanna's mother)
"Crepes are not a building material, Jeff!" - Alex George
"Ooh, I'm a man. I'm a manly man. Who's your daddy?" - Dewey
"Quibbly kumquat conundrum." - Becca on (or in?) Latin
"Oh, so you're talking about the good kind of racism!" - Josh
And nota bene (that's Latin! Mm, Latin ...), we have bumper crop of utterly bizarre Honorable Mentions this week, so if you don't get them...
Well, now's the time to start! Um ... Yeah.
Until next I wrestle the reigns of power from the hands of one of the other tyrants... Yours in perpetuum...
