[QOTW] QOTW for the Week of March 1, 2009

[QOTW]

Hallo!
It is time again for the quotes of this week and the best of last  
week. As it turns out, our winner this week is the same as our winner  
last week. I'm highly impressed. In what one might call an unorthodox  
explanation of the concept of a motif, Mr. Davis said, "In Act 1, a  
child falls off a tricycle. In Act 2, a child falls off a tricycle. In  
Act 3, a child falls off a tricycle. In Act 4, a tricycle, all by  
itself, comes in, and you learn that off-stage, a child has just  
fallen off. In Act 5, a tricycle rolls in, dripping with blood,  
extracted from the guts of a whale off of the coast. That's... that's  
a motif." This week, we have, again, a wonderful set of quotes. You  
should all vote for your favorites. Every single one of you. Anyways,  
here they are:

"That is the problem with teaching. You can't fall asleep in your own  
class."
-Ms. Mechaber

"I like my pelvis! It's perfect for me."
-Gautam Mohan

"The lamp has so much personality! So much culture!"
-Ms. Bluestein (on Norton's short story)

"If you, maybe, for instance, put a dead raccoon in a hole and cover  
it with lime..."
-Mr. Davis (referring to the stone, not the fruit)

"I would hit you with this Pad Thai if I weren't a pacifist."
-Hannah K-H

"Have you been rubbing Kai with dead animals again?"
-Asa Goodwillie (on the subject of Mark Swanson and fur hats)

"At cast parties, we expect Hancock behavior. The good kind of Hancock  
behavior."
-Susan Thompson

"Nothing about Hawaii is affordable, except that what we call  
expensive, they call affordable."
-Dennis Michaud, assembly speaker

"Danny! You do not belong here!"
-Ms. Budding (on Danny's feverishness)

"Who invented shoes? They must be so rich..."
-Mimi Danielkebir

So there you have them. Ten lurvely quotes. Vote by replying to this  
email with any number of your favorites in order (no need to include  
the quote, just who said it, and context if necessary). If you're  
feeling charitable, and even if you aren't, you should submit!  
Alternatively, you can sidle up next to me and say funny things.  
That'd be okay too. Either way, submissions work in the same fashion  
as votes. Reply to this email with a submission, who said it, and  
context!

Goodnight, and have a pleasant tomorrow,
Dan "The Orangeman's got you" Fries
