April 4, 2004:
Friends, Romans, Commonwealth Students:So do you want to know how committed I am to quote of the week? I'll tell you- it's 8:30 on a Sunday morning and I'm sitting in the dark recesses of my basement, typing up this e-mail while my teeth chatter and my fingers turn blue. Ok, so maybe it's not QUITE that dramatic, but still!
Do you feel empty? Like you're missing something? You probably do, you probably are, and you can solve both problems by increasing your weekly dosage of quote of the week by signing up for honorable mentions- just go to qotw.net.
Congrats to Roz for last week's winning quote, "You poser. You're like the N*SYNC of slacking off. Completely commercial. Doing it for looks. Sure, all the teen girls idolize you. But you're not living it." And, at long last, the quotes!

"Sex ed teachers always acted as if we were about to go out and have hot passionate sex with every third person we met, and for Christ's sake could we at least remember to bring along the condoms?
