[QOTW] QOTW, Aplril 17th, 2005

[Quote of the Week]

Dear Citizens of Quoteville,
	Last week’s winner was Beccathal’s Dad, whose description of the benefits
of majority was so popular that it received a majority of first-place
votes even before runoff votes were calculated. Unfortunately, very few
of you voted! Remember people, QOTW has worked very hard to be as
democratic as it can be, and unless you vote, there is really little
point to the whole system. So get up off your lazy butts and vote! If you
do not remember how to, just go to
http://www.qotw.net/~qotw/howtovote.html. Also, the upcoming QOTW book
needs cover art. The book will contain all of the quotes from the first
four seasons of QOTW, from the golden days of Ben Orlin’s enlightened
despotism until the very last quote collected in his senior year. If you
have any interest in providing such art, please contact me at
ahgeorge at gmail.com. And now, lest I bore all of you with my tedious
ramblings, this week’s nominees:

"It was so dorky that the debate kids felt uncomfortable." - Emily, on
a barbershop quartet

"My tour guide was wearing flip-flops. ‘I have Vermoptism!' she said, so I
took a flip-flop and shoved it in her mouth." - Roswell's mother, on an
"otherwise very nice" tour guide at Middlebury.

"All the questions on the US History A.P. have to do with Richard Nixon.
Literally, they'll ask: Was Richard Nixon's nose a) convex; b) concave; c)
distressingly flat?" - Beccathal

“Mr. Sherry’s quizzes put the ‘Eek!’ in economics.”- Hilary Johnson

“My grandparents gave me an American Girl Doll, and I lynched it off the
side of the bed. They didn’t give me dolls after that.”- Greta Friar

“So today is Chao’s birthday and Lincoln’s Boothday.”- Joanna Rifkin,
referring to Chao Deng’s birthday being on the anniversary of President
Lincoln’s assassination.

“We have another lost and found announcement. We’ve lost out prom dates.
If you find them, please tell us.”- Ben Miller & Wesley Morgan

“When I was in the 7th grade I got to recite the Pledge of Allegiance over
the squawk-box to the entire school. I really go off on that.”- Mr.
Wharton

“The mice do not pay rent, and I’m upset about that.”- Jenn Orlin, on the
mice that have taken over a room in her apartment

"That's the way to make a seventeen year old happy! Put a gun in his
hand!"- Roswell’s uncle, on seeing him holding an AK-47
