[QOTW] Quote of the Week, September 27

[QOTW]

Dear readers,
Hey look, it’s QOTW! We still exist. Not only do we exist, but we exist
with quotes, and we have enough of them which is really quite strange
because many of them seem to come from people who were fully capable of
submitting quotes last year despite our…'trend.' But that could be behind
us now! If you recall correctly, our winner of last we—wait. You can find
the winner of QOTY (Mr. Davis of course) and other stats (about Mr. Davis
of course) and polls (which Mr. Davis won) at the archives, or more
specifically,http://lists.qotw.net/pipermail/quoteoftheweek/2010-July/000236.html.
If you hear something funny, you can submit your quotes
athttp://qotw.net/submit.php and maybe you might find your submission  on
this year's results named
/pipermail/quoteoftheweek/2011-July/000whatever.html!

Hopefully this year we will be starting the process on our right foot
(though I am left-handed…what consequences will come from this I do not
know), meaning that if you are hoping to have a better QOTW experience from
the Great Unfunny of 09-10 you should totally submit!
Not-as-but-kind-of-also importantly, you should also vote by going to
http://qotw.net/voting.php and following the instructions there. You can
