[QOTW] QOTW for the Week of October 19, 2008

[QOTW]

Hello recievers-o-quotes!

Perfectly in sync with the yesterday evening's Gala, Larry Geffin was
voted winner of last week's QOTW when
he said, "Dying oysters do whimper, you just can't hear them because
you're  not in tune with shellfish the way I am." Why didn't Mr
Wharton use that as part of his speech on Larry last night? Karen
Firestone could perhaps
have used this in her discussion of being on the search committee- Larry
was the perfect candidate; he grew up a working class kid from  
Dorchester,
and went to Commonwealth as a student. Currently, has he has strong work
ethic, is always on time, and is VERY in tune with shellfish.
And now, for this week's quotes:
