[Quote of the Week]

Dear QotWers,

Honestly, officer, I don't know what happened. It's all kind of fuzzy,
really. You know how they always say not to mix your drinks? Well, see,
there was a lot going on in the bar and I was kind of confused after a
whole week of exams... Then there was Project Week, and--oh, yeah, and
there was a midget. Arsonist. A midget arsonist. Yeah, I remember that.
One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor. I blame the bartender. He
should have known my cut-off was ten. Um, officer? Why did your face go
swirly all of a sudden? Because, um, I don't think that's supposed to be
happening....

Ahem. Last week's winner was Karen Wolf, Jenny's mum, with her quote

'I don't get it. Is it supposed to be deep?' --Karen Wolf, after mistaking
the Leek for the LitMag

Also of interest in the QotW inbox was an answer to the Sex Shield
controversy. It seems that Bart 'the Dark Master...painter' Horn ('03) was
the one who painted the thing; the mastermind behind the fiendish plot,
however, was Abbie 'not a teenage boy' Cyr (also '03). And neither of them
dropped out of Calc. I think.

Classic rock is joy. And now the nomininnies!
