[QOTW] QOTW for the Week of October 5, 2008

[QOTW]

It would seem as if a QOTW email is in order.
Thusly, I present to the masses such a thing. One week has passed  
since the last email was sent, and from that set of strange quotes, a  
winner has emerged. With all the votes tolled, the clear victor was  
Lauren DeRosa, who, upon seeing Mr. Wharton's waterskiing prowess so  
well demonstrated said "Mr. Wharton's a really good waterskier, and a  
really good carpenter... HE's JESUS!". These next quotes are really  
good. Too good, at least. Perhaps even heavenly.

"I think the bagel cut me. I taste blood."
-Robin Hansel

"And I can turn that red light up so it's brighter than you've ever  
seen in Amsterdam's red light district, but I still won't see anything."
-Ms. Jackman on the small amount of energy in red light.

"I want to adopt kids when they're like 25, and attractive, and rich."
-Ben Pokross

"I told my friend about Yom Kippur, he said 'Yum! Kippur!' I said  
'Yum! Atonement!"
-Hannah K-H

"X^3=sleeping bag."
-Mr. Sherry's calculus class

"Sarah Palin doesn't ride a bicycle to work because she would be shot."
-teacher of the PSAT prep class at Commonwealth

"I don't know what it would be like not to have any boys around, and I  
don't want to find out."
-Julia Vrtilek, discussing women's colleges

"He speaks Spanish: he's Gandalf!"
-Caleb Murray-Bozeman, giving an explanation for why, if Asa was a  
Lord of the Rings character, he would be Gandalf

"I don't believe that Welsh is so much a language as a system of not  
knowing what you're saying"
-Ben Horn

"They caught made dance fever. I hear that's dangerous."
-Ian Strickman

And there they stand, awaiting the judgement of the people. Deliver it  
unto them by replying to this very email with a number of your top  
choices, in order. It's really very simple. In addition, I would  
greatly appreciate your contribution to this thingy by sending in  
funny things you hear over the course of the week (again, you can just  
reply to this email or use the tool on the website, www.qotw.net). I'd  
also really appreciate it if people volunteered to be Quoter, because  
that's how this is supposed to run. Maybe if we're all lucky, I'll  
have someone else do it this week.

I await, with bated breath, your votage,
Dan "It's Difficult to Write a Little-Name-Thing That is This Long  
Without Sounding Absurd" Fries
