August 2, 2003:
QOTW Members:All together now, everybody: "No voting during the summer!" Not that I don't love to receive your votes, but the astute human being will note that no winner has been chosen since early June, and so your vote won't really do much of anything.
This week has an exceptional batch of Honorable Mentions, so I reccomend to everyone that you sign up by emailing me and saying, "Ben, I admit the error of my ways. I understand now that I cannot live without Honorable Mentions. Please sign me up." Sure, you've got to swallow your dignity, but it's worth it.
This Week's Quotes:
"If I'm just watching you, do I have to wear pants anyway?" -Daniel, to Joanna
"Imagine if you had Life cereal but you had drugs in it. Then you could really be high on life!" -Dewey
"Sure, that's big enough for Josh, but we have to fit his ego down there, too." -Miller, on digging a hole in the sand to bury Josh
"I do my best to bring grave reflection upon the world, one IM conversation at a time." -Kathryn
"Have you ever seen his nose? I mean, why does he need a bat?" -Miller, on Red Sox shortstop Nomar Garciaparra
"It's sparkling and it's hanging off my butt. What do you THINK it is?" -Micheline
"It needs a bleaching and an exorcism." -Reilly, on the infamous couch in the Commonwealth lobby
"Hamlet's not coherent enough to be straight." -Aaron R.
"I'm funnier when I talk about baseball, because I'm a Red Sox fan, and that's just funny." -Miller
"'There was once a rock formation here. Wow.'" -Lily, on the future of the site of New Hampshire's man in the mountain, which recently collapsed
Congratulations to Miller, by the way, for becoming only the second person ever to have three nominee-caliber quotes in the same week.
-Ben "bad shot" Orlin
