April 20, 2003:
Hello, Voters:Last week's winner: "I'd love to tell you what happened: nothing! Because that's what happens in science." -Bree, on her scientific experiment over project week. (This marked the second time a nominee's name had been mis-spelled in the weekly email. Both nominees went on to win.)
How to vote: List as many of the nominees below as you wish in order from favorite to least favorite. List only the nominees' names, not the quote itself. Distinguish between two quotes from the same person with parenthetical statements like "Wharton (viaje)".
Anyone who wishes to receive the Honorable Mentions each week should tell me so this week, so I don't have to do it on an individual basis every week. (I highly reccommend them.)
And now, the NOMINEES:
"I think that conspiracy theorists are everywhere." -Becca
"An eye for an eye would actually make for SMASHING eyeball stew." -Sam, Winchester High School student
"I'm gonna scrape all the lamb's blood off of your doors." -Ms. Grant, to Ben Miller, on the first day of Passover
"You can't cut a mullet. A mullet must be grown." -Dewey, unintentionally proverb-izing
"Stick insects are proof that pets are no harder to look after than house plants." -Joanna
"You know how turtles are supposed to be slow? Mine ran away." -Rachel the Texasian
"That's because in 1942 the British Government discontinued the singing orphan program." -Julian, on the lack of other songs like 'Food' from the musical Oliver
"I'm molecularly attracted to YOU." -Copans, trying out a new pickup line
"Isn't that [all men are scum] the central conceit of most women's lives?" -Roz
Voting closes at 5:00 on Tuesday. Like I said, email me to join the exclusive Honorable Mention List; it doubles your QOTW rations.
-Ben "I would sell my soul for three good quotes" Orlin
COMING SOON: QUOTE OF THE WEEK UNCENSORED
