[QOTW] Quote of the Year ballot, 2010-11

[QOTW]

Hello, dear subscribers. This will be a somewhat minimal email, as
I need to get back to studying.

We've come to the end of the year! Last
week's was our last regular email.
Our last weekly winner is Mr.
Hodgkins, who warned chorus members about their graduation
attire:
"Strapless is acceptable; topless is not."

The one thing we've
got left to do is to choose the big winner: the Quote of the Year.
To
that end, here are all of this year's weekly winners. Vote more or less
as usual -- you can 
just reply with your single favorite, you can rank
all 26 (I think) of them, or you can do anything 
in between. They're
listed in chronological order, from earliest to latest.
Please be extra
sure to specify which quote by a given person you're voting, and I'd
encourage you 
(more than usual) to vote for more than one or two or
three people.
Oh, one more thing: there will be one last Honorable
Mentions email sent out with the submissions 
we received this week.
We're done with regular emails for the year, guys. You can stop
now...

Your choices:

Ms. Jackman: "It is if you're Russian."

Jon: "How come there
is a book only about Half-Asians. That's so racist. Why aren't there
books for 
all ethnicities. Where's the book about Jews?"
Norton,
pulling out from the shelves a book called "Auschwitz": "There's your
book of Jews."

"Imagine impulsiveness was a cat. And then call it
over--here, kitty, kitty -- and shoot it."
- Larry, on what a student
needs to do with her drawing

"'Flanting'?! I think we should make that

heroin lasts your whole lifetime!"

"So... we were trying to psych ourselves
up backstage, and I was going to say 'We're going to kick ass'

fashion."
- Liam

"'It doesn't sound pretty'... It's not supposed to
sound pretty! It's jazz!"

to an Italian on the phone and when I meet them in person I say 'Whoa,

hot

"I suggest you run around the block once every hour. This will
increase your circulation, including the
circulation to your brain."

Mr. Davis

"I didn't mean to say to melt the pancakes, I meant cheese!
Like, melt the butte- no, cheese, then- 
yeah, there's got to be a
better word than 'pancake' but I don't know it! ...shut up, I was trying
to 
explain tacos."

assignment sheet are intertwined. Not in a suggestive way."

Noah's."

"Strapless is acceptable; topless is not."
- Mr.
Hodgkins

At some point between in the next week we'll work out the
Quote of the Year and the winners of a few other 
special awards, and
get the very last email out.
Until then, good luck with finals.
Asa
