[Quote of the Week]

Hey guys!
 It’s that time again! Time for Q!O!T!W!
	I know it’s late and all, but I had a good excuse- I saw a movie starring
Melanie Griffith as a tough ‘lady cop’ who goes undercover in Orthodox
Jewish NYC to solve a murder. Naturally, she falls for a Chassidic
Chottie, who is also the rebbe’s son. She tries to speak Yiddish, and my
mind bursts in agony. Its actually not that bad a movie, just cheesy and
occasionally unbelievably awful. Ugh. I still have nightmares involving
Griffith mispronouncing “Shalom.” Ugh! Even I know how to say it and I
self identify as a lady-shiksa. (HA! A play on Lady Shiva, a supervillain
in Batman and Birds of Prey!)It’s funny, ‘cause the woman who played the
villain in Birds of Prey (Batman spinoff! Aired on tv when I was in 8th
grade) also stars in this movie, which is called ‘A Stranger Among Us,’
in case you’re interested. Also? Jeff, I love Snow Crash, but very few
people know it well enough to find that quote funny. My brother thought
it was, but he doesn’t count. Good Luck Next Time!
	Anyway, Mr Conolly won, with his stupendous quote “That was the bell. I
spit on the bell.” Indeed, he also spits bells, but only if you give him
ten bucks, ask politely and back away.
So Vote! And submit! Yeah!
