<pre>Dear everyone. <em>Ever</em>.
You’re on a roll! Even though you guys had only three submissions after Hancock (four, two of which were the same), I can’t blame you for because the camp tampers with people’s memories. Why else would I have sent this e-mail until 1:00 AM on Monday? Even so, combined with the school week before, we managed to get ten quotes and a whole <em>entire</em> Honorable Mentions submission! Our winner from last week was Ms. Grant, saying "Oh, Kennedy... I had a crush on him when I was five. My kindergarten boyfriend wanted Nixon to win. That was the end of the relationship."
Submitting is a fun and awesome thing to do. You should totally try it, if you didn’t. And if you did it already and still aren’t having said fun and awesome time, you aren’t submitting hard enough. While I’m quite happy to have this nice chain of sufficient quotes (just as all of the big due dates for papers, AP’s, Finals, and everything else is appears. Coincidence?), it’s an assuring thought to know that it could go on for the rest of the year. You can submit at http://qotw.net/submit.php.
