May 11, 2003:
Voters:Last week's winner: "Today I smite; yesterday I smote; and I have smoot." -Becca
How to vote: back to basics. Just list the nominees (however many you want), favorite to least favorite, making sure I can tell the difference between two quotes from the same person. Just list the person's name, not the whole quote. (Numbered ballots are preferred.)
And now, the NOMINEES:
"During the break, do not discuss the test materials, consult with teachers or other resources, eat or drink anything except for water, or mock the test procedures." -Mr. Conolly, administering the Calculus AP
"It's the audience inside my head. They say, 'We're the teenage demographic! Feed us, feed us!'" -Kate, on her subscription to Teen Vogue
"I have the CUTEST pictures of atomic bombs!" -Dewey
"Alex, you'll find happiness before you die, but it'll turn out to be illegal." -Julian
"Attractive people like men!" -Mariah, drawing conclusions from the statements at the Health and Community workshop that attractive men are gay but attractive women are straight
"That's the definition of a battle tux: you can go into war or jump into a pool and nobody will care because they're awful." -Roz
"In order to make sure the grades reported are as accurate as possible, there are strict procedures--many of which resemble those of fascist regimes--..." -Mr. Weisman, administering the Spanish AP
"Death is a skeletal figure solemnly enrobed in a lurking black luxury car." -Roz, summing up his adventures on Ipswich's "Labor in Vain Road"
"Why do I draw such comfort from surrounding myself with cantankerous middle-aged or elderly men?" -Emily Goo
"Senior guys vs. freshman girls; the drug dealers vs. the druggies; slackers vs. ... is there anyone left to fight the slackers?" -Jenn, proposing teams for "CSW Rumble 2003". (CSW stands for Cambridge School of Weston.)
Voting closes 5:00 on Tuesday. Join the Honorable Mentions club!
-Ben "a whip and a Barry Manilow record" Orlin
