[QOTW] (no subject)

[qotw at qotw.net]

Hello once again, QOTW fans. It's that time of the week (OK, maybe a day
later than that, but close enough.)

Of course, I have good reasons for this late email. I spent the better
part of yesterday stuck in some stupid balloon, and then when I woke up
this morning I had to do my homework, by which I mean play videogames, and
work on college applications, by which I mean browsing facebook.

Interesting things seem to be happening all around. For instance, can you
believe there's a Freshman couple (best of luck, by the way, to our
figurative newlyweds.) And more unusual than that, I have made it through
the week without making too much of a fool of myself.

AND PEOPLE ACTUALLY VOTED ON THIS WEEK'S QUOTES!!! Thank you all.

This week's QOTW was a hard-fought battle between Dan Fries and his
Boston/New York analogy, and Asa, the winner, who, as you may recall,
said,

"No, no, it's okay! The dandruff in Oreos is harvested from free-range old
men!"
Regarding the mysterious ingredients of Oreo cream.


Now, I have some good news. We actually received a decent number of
submissions this week. Many were made via the VERY HANDY AND USEFUL web
tool (http://www.qotw.net/submit.php,) which, in case you've been hiding
under a rock for the past couple of years, exists and is EXTREMELY
CONVENIENT. Change is good, people!


Here's your selection this week.

"Amherst is like hell, UMass is like purgatory, and Hampshire is like...
Narnia."
--Overheard in a Mt Holyoke dining hall

"Race is biological bullshit."
--Prof. Dickie Wallace

"Enough of this little stupid game"
-Mr. Riahi, on a Physics problem.

"well, let's say you I and were standing side by side, talking, and you
had some sort of alpine pick ax. You know, with a sort of pointy bit on
one side...? And as you began to speak, you leaned the tip on my foot, and
as you continued you leaned harder and harder until my foot was impaled on
this ax! Well, there are two things I could do at this point: I could slap
you and say "ah, son of a bitch!", or I could smile oddly at you and nod
until you began to realize that something was wrong."
-Mr. Davis, ending English class by explaining Hemingway to an
increasingly bewildered Asa Goodwillie

"I was riding my bike to the library and I felt like a badass for talking
on the
phone while riding. It's like operating heavy machinery while drunk."
-Hannah KH

"Yeah, I did Math in Mayan once."
-Gautam Mohan, on the Mayan's using a Base 60 system


As usual, vote on these by replying to this email; submit new quotes via
the web tool or send them to qotw at qotw.net (I think; I no longer really
remember - just use the web tool). Comments, questions or complaints? Send
them to nowhere; I'm a Senior and I haven't got time for your stupid
opinion.

Frigid Regards,
