[QOTW] Quote Of The Week, March 14

[QOTW]

Hello! 
I hesitate to say this, seeing as last time I did you all got
complacent and decided to stop being helpful, but we seem to have a
comfortably sufficient amount of quotations this week. Well done, and
thanks.
Now keep up the good work: http://www.qotw.net/submit.php

This
week's winner was one Mario Alvarez for this exemplary piece of literary
criticism: "The more we read of Paradise Lost, the more it just feels like
reading
fan fiction."
English 12 is sounding like all sorts of fun right
about now, isn't it?

This week's quotes:

"I never thought I'd say this,
but there are way too many girls in my room."

General cast party

"Now, we have to think about emergency situations. If
we lose Norton, which I know will happen, what should we do?"

Lai

"Solo leí El Viejo y el Mar [tran.: "I only read The Old Man and the
Sea], and I was like 'Kill the freakin' fish!' It's just a fish! I don't
get it..."

"Oh, like a
harpoon?"

There you go! Read them, re-read them,
blow them up and print them out and cut them up and make surrealist art out
of them- the possibilities are endless, and it's up to you, as long as you
remember to vote by replying to this email with your top few choices in
ranked order. For more detailed instructions (and they're worth reading- it
makes it much easier to tally the votes at the end of the week if you vote
properly, and a couple of you still haven't got the hang of this), go to
http://www.qotw.net/voting.php

Every few weeks, if enough extra
submissions have built up, we send out an Honorable Mentions email full of
the not-quite-funny-enough-to-make-the-regular-email stuff; if you haven't
already, sign up by sending an email to
honorablementions-subscribe at qotw.net [1].

Voting ends at 5:00 PM Friday-
submissions are welcome up until the far-too-late-Saturday-night last
minute.
See you next week.
-Asa "praying that this whole vacation thing
doesn't mean that no one's going to submit" Goodwillie
