[QOTW] i don't know what week it is...oh! December 18, 2004

[Quote of the Week]

Hello! Mein Liebchens!
I think you ought to know that last weeks quote-off was won by none othr
than Michael Sailsman, in an absolute landslide, with these words-
"Diversity is like a little old lady who's got you by the ears. But you
can't touch her, because she's a little old lady, and in the end she
probably means well." -- Michael Sailsman"
Congrats on that. Scary image. I guess I'll have nightmares for weeks.
Please take this as a moral lesson and do not mix QOTW and Buffy the
Vampire Slayer. It can do weird things to your brain. Also, honorable
mentions are a fun and exciting way to get your daily dose of calcium, and
they're low in sugar. Sign up for them at
honorablementions-submit at qotw.net. Quotes! They do a body good.
Now, the quotes! You all know the drill. If you don't, I will shake my
head in a sad way at you. Pre-empt that by checking out
