[QOTW] Quote of the Week, 12/9

[QOTW]

 Dear readers of QOTW,
 	It’s break! I’m writing this at 2:00 and am still half asleep BECAUSE 
 I CAN (not like it’s going to come any earlier on usual weekends when I 
 write it :\ ). Even so, I’ll keep it concise and essential because…it’s 
 a writing style. Yeah. It’s not lack of effort or anything. Winner of 
 last week is Mr. Clifford, saying "We don't do reproduction in here. 
 That's Health and Community." I guess out of drugs, sex, and sleep (from 
 my memory of H&C content), we can cross off two things people don’t do 
 in other classes. Remember to http://qotw.net/submit.php and 
 http://qotw.net/voting.php because you need to submit and…uhh…voting.

 Quotes this week are:


 “The mass of people checking the pool sheets... like this giant 
 metallic sweaty flock of penguins...’
 --Dan Fries recounts his Junior Olympic Qualifiers experience

 "So... we were trying to psych ourselves up backstage, and I was going

 We're going to gently nudge ass. In a jazzy fashion."
 --Liam

 "It's seductive...but, you know, not in a trashy way."

 Ms. Jackman: “What are the products of a reaction between hydrofluoric 
 acid and magnesium hydroxide?"
 Josh:"Magnesium fluoride and hydroxic acid. Wait, I mean water"

 "This was a bad morning. The train went backwards."
 --Matt S.

 "Sometimes I lie and I tell them that I'm laughing at a joke someone 
 told me the night before...But then they ask me what it was and I have 
 to be like, 'Quick, think of a joke!'"
 --Mr. Clifford, on covering up the fact that he's laughing at his 9th 
 grade biology students.

 "You see Gabe, I can hang out with them all separately,  but when they 
 are together they are like a big social bubble that needs to be popped 
 by a ginormous safety pin..."

 “Like, if Santa Claus had children instead of elves, Priam would be 
 Santa Claus!’
 --Mr. Conolly explains the Aeneid

 “It’s beginning to look a lot like YOUR MOM!’
 --Mario Alvarez on the lack of submissions for QOTW [as requested when 
 we had only 9 submissions, and we got two more afterwards, but because 
 one submission was some sort of strange spam and the other one 
 was…uhh…NSFS, I actually put it in]

 Remember, its break, but you can still participate by submitting things 
 your strange and very very extended family says when you go visit them. 
 A ‘QOTW: Break Edition’ would be nice but isn’t necessary. Remember to 
 subscribe to honorable mentions at http://qotw.net/subscribe.php and to 
 vote and submit!
