[QOTW] Quote of the Week, November 19th

[Quote of the Week]

Dear QOTWers,

     Welcome to another sparkling edition of Quote of the Week. Contrary
to the lies propagated by one of my minions, I remain alive, a
vegetarian, and a devout fan of BNL. But, as many of you have told me
personally, if I mention my favorite band one more time you're going to
shove me into a locker/ cubby/the "caution: flammable chemicals" closet
which we all know really contains Ms. Jackman's maps for the upcoming
Canadian invasion. Don't believe me? Consider Danielle Boyda's suspicious
fondness for the jobs program: she may seem friendly now but she's only
lulling you into a false sense of security so she can gain control of your
food source. Moreover, consider the fact that the QOTW winner for the
third week in a row is a Ms. Jackman/ chemistry class quote: "I went
clubbing last night...I was really afraid I was going to run into Conor
Detweiler."
     If I were you I'd be researching Canadian culture sometime soon.
Start by buying some BNL albums.

And now for this week's nominees:

"According to this sheet we have two school clubs: the invisible friends
club and the Mr. Traub fans club." -Emma, reading off the yearbook photo
sign up list

"That was the bell. I spit on the bell." -Mr. Conolly

"Except that I go to Commonwealth, there's nothing wrong with me." -Ian
Tenney, leaving early for a check up

"Did you catch any house?" -Julia, to Ms. Jackman, who went house hunting

"This morning I had Darjeeling tea instead of Earl Grey, just to mix it up
a little." -Sarah Gulick, arguing that she lived dangerously

"A deathly silence fell..." -Ms. Bluestein, in a whisper, upon entering
her 12 grade English class

"Danny, you can wrestle with God, not with Philip Pullman." -Russell

"I'm Swiss; I'm like that-why do think our chocolates are so good, and our
watches?" -Raphael on correcting a proof/ being overly precise

"Julia was created by a machine." -Nick, explaining Julia's parents'
absence at parents' night

"Tom, our photographer, is here today, so try to look intelligent and
engaging. Oh, and attractive." -Janetta

     So that's all for now, unless you happen to receive honorable
mentions (honorablementions-subscribe at qotw.net: because quantity is,
indeed, better), in which case there are a multitude of mediocre
quotes and a bewildering story by alumn Max Cohen which proves
everything you always hoped wasn't true about Columbia waiting for you in
your inbox. Finally, remember to vote by 5 PM Friday. Until next time,
