[Quote of the Week]

Greetings, Earthlings, and welcome to the latest edition of Quote of the
Week (TM, (R), (C), and so on)! Hopefully, by now you've all recovered
from the bloatage of your various Thanksgiving meals--and their ensuing
mounds of leftovers. Mm, leftovers. Tasty leftovers. But back to business,
shall we? Last week's winner was (cue fanfare), 'ExCUSE me, I was speaking
with myself,' said by somebody's cousin, age 3, upon being interrupted.

If you *still* don't know how to vote... Well. Shame, shame, shame. A
plague on both your houses! Get thee forth to
http://www.qotw.net/~qotw/howtovote.html immediately; voting, as is
customary around these parts, closes at five P.M. this Friday. Also, sign
up for Honourable Mentions if you haven't already by sending an e-mail to
honorablementions-subscribe at qotw.net . It'll make you a better person.
Really, it will. No ulterior motives here; no, sir. Now, on to the
nominees!
