[QOTW] Quote of the Week, April 3, 2005

[Quote of the Week]

Sup y'all? Happy April! April's the best month ever, and not just because
my birthday's in 3 weeks, but becauuuuuse....hey! Look! ....A pony!
Anyway. Back to business. Last week's winner was "Darwin's Deli: The
Natural Selection," as seen on a Deli awning in London. The winner was
closely followed by Harry Alper's quotation, "I'm assuming you mean
strapless, not topless.  This is your graduation, not Hancock!" This past
week was a pretty big one for us seniors, with all the college
notifications floating in, or being uploaded to the Internet in some cases
(teh Internets 0wnZ j00). . . but most of these quotes were mouse-selected
to take the topic-which-shall-not-be-named off our minds.
