<p>Hello, dear readers. I hope you're coping with medieval research papers, the aftermath of APs, college finals, and <br />whatever other frantic end-of-the-year madness may have been visited upon you.<br /><br />This week's voting was bizarre, in that there was hardly any of it. We received only two ballots! Consequently we ended <br />up with a tie between the following:<br /><br />"All these people next to me are saying, 'Hola' and 'Que tal' and I'm just thinking, how can you be normal, our breasts are <br />all pressed up together!"<br />- Anika, convincing Asa to go to Spain with an impassioned explanation of a discoteca<br /><br />"The last assignment sheet and this assignment sheet are intertwined. Not in a suggestive way."<br />- Ms. Grant<br /><br />Congratulations to both of you. I feel I should mention in Anika's defense (and perhaps my own, as well) that her <br />description of the discoteca moment was given not so much as a reason why I'd enjoy Spain as a reason why she needed <br />company there.<br /><br /><br />In a bizarre but welcome complement to the paltry two votes, we got a ridiculous number of submissions this week!<br />Well done, you. Now keep it up! Don't let this one week go to your heads. We have, of course, a lovely little easy-to-use <br />submission tool right here: http://www.qotw.net/submit.php<br /><br />This week's choices:<br /><br />"What does the E.M. in E.M. Forster stand for? Eliza Minnelli?"<br />- David<br /><br />"That's just, like, an inside joke of the universe."<br />- Ethan, on how Poland is always doing badly<br /><br />"We're just friends! There's no hanky-panky going on with cubes!"<br />- Mr. Sherry on Platonic solids<br /><br />"I feel like Ms. Cyrier is definitely the sort of person who could be from Ohio."<br />- Mr. Clifford<br /><br />"Protists are like a recycling bin. They're like the Hufflepuffs of the natural world!"<br />- Lydia<br /><br />"Can I tell you our flood story? Because it's better than Noah's."<br />- Aurelie on field tenting at Hancock<br /><br />"Speaking French is like swallowing a squirrel."<br />- Thomas M.<br /><br />"I mean, I feel guilty, I do..."<br />"No you don't! You're a sociopath! Stop pretending!"<br />- Josh and Ben Ku., discussing Josh's lack of remorse after losing BPL books. <br /><br />"I'm fascinated by throwing things into the trash and seeing where they land."<br />- Mr. Limperis<br /><br />"I like children when they're horizontal."<br />- Emma B-W<br /><br />Vote, please! It's not difficult -- simply reply to this email with your top one/few/many choice(s) ranked in a numbered list.<br />More detailed instructions are available here: http://www.qotw.net/voting.php<br /><br />Sign up for the Honorable Mentions list, if you haven't done so already (honorablementions-subscribe@qotw.net). <br />This week's flood of submissions means we'll actually have an Honorable Mentions email soon!\<br /><br /><br />Please do continue this wonderful submission trend. It's very nice.<br /><br />Enjoy,<br />Asa "even I resent this cold a day in the middle of May" Goodwillie</p>
