[QOTW] Quote Of The Week, Feb. 21

[QOTW]

Another week, another submission-starved issue of QOTW.
...seriously,
guys, this was pretty pathetic. I think I had two submissions, maybe three?
If you don't submit, you're just going to get an email full of things the
Quoters overhear, and, well, we're both in Mr. Davis' English class. You
can see, I think, where this will lead, and as much as we all love that man
and his cryptic and insightful mastery of the English language, I think we
can agree that that's not a road down which we want to go, yes? Submit, you
fools. It's easy, really: http://www.qotw.net/submit.php I'm sure there's
no shortage of comedic gold floating around Commonwealth, but Shaul and I
can't be there to hear all of it!
Enough submission-related grumpiness.
It's time for the winner of last week's quotes: Marielle Boudreau, who
spake thusly: "I was meeting with Mr. Davis and explained to him the plot
of the movie Up. Also he ate half my lunch."
You really gotta watch out for
those, uh, hungry, cinematically-ignorant English teachers, I
guess.
Congratulations, Marielle.
Congratulations to Mr. Davis as well,
actually, on his extra lunch.

Now for ten new quotations!

"No,
that would be so weird to approve of incest. If I was to make out with my
mother, it would go something like, 'Eva! You're doing it wrong!' "
-Eva
on incest, after discussing the strange idea that Tegan and Sara
are twins as well as a couple

"If you want to poison someone, I suggest
you use the mouth."
-Mr. Whelan

"If this were the right kind of school -
learn by doing! - we would all now turn to the left and breathe on our
classmates' heads."
-Mr. Davis

"That's the problem with numbers- you don't
know what they are!"
-Mr. Sherry

"Then you realize that pure beauty is
wisdom, and then you reach a sort of platonic relationship, so you want to
hang out with Wisdom, not bone it."
-Rebecca Stanton, professor at
Columbia, explaining Socrates' explanation of love in Plato's
Symposium

"And _that's_ the kind of sexual objectification of women I like
to see!"
-Gabe Murchison, sounding both more offensive and more funny out
of context (sorry about that, Gabe)

"I'm a great painter! I drew in
English... I drew a boat... called Gull. In honor of Liam!"
-Caleb
Murray-Bozeman

"Stabbing someone with hundred-dollar tea? ...stabbing
someone with _tea?_ Does she look like someone who was stabbed with tea?
This is surrealism, this is what happens what students get surreal in this
school. And what does it do? It upsets people, it upsets them. It does no
good!"
-Mr. Davis

"Many of you have reached the exalted status of Seniors,
one foot in college, and you still do not remember that the area of a
circle is pi-r-squared."
-Mr. Riahi, addressing his Physics 2 class after a
disastrous test

"That's just like the way I feel about Morrissey. He
disturbs me. I mean, I _like_ him, but... I don't know, haven't you always
found that there's something very off-putting about him?"
-Alex Matheson,
apropos of absolutely nothing that the rest of us could work out

There
they are- enjoy, and then, when you're done enjoying, vote! Reply to this
email and rank any number of these ten. More detailed instructions (and
_please_ read them, guys, it's really much easier for us if you format your
votes properly) are here: http://www.qotw.net/voting.php

If you haven't
yet, consider signing up for the Honorable Mentions email, which is sent
out from time to time once enough quotations not quite good enough to make
the weekly emails have accumulated. To subscribe, either send an email to
honorablementions-subscribe at qotw.net or go to
http://www.qotw.net/subscribe.php and fill out the fairly self-explanatory
form found there.

Again, three things: enjoy, vote, and _submit_. Please?
I'll love you forever, or at least give you a hug or something.
-Asa
"really wants more submissions, in case you couldn't already tell"
