Is to bring swiven back in to common usage. I'll let you know how that goes. Now for the quotes!
Sometimes a little bit of repression is a good thing.
I always felt like Sinatra just kind of talked his way through most songs.
Also, just for Badger... and picture him sort of breathily saying this and waving his arms around while opening his eyes slightly wider...
"Zeugma.... paranoMAsia... "

Mardi Gras
This quote actually happened last Thursday, on the first day that I took notes with a dip pen. A pen dipped in ink. I will upload a photo when I get time. Anyway:
I was driving down Broadway during Mardi Gras, stopped at a light, and I hear, "Professor *****." And I see this hand waving from side to side, and I looked, and it was one of my students, passed out on the [neutral ground.]

Doubles
So, today's entry consists of TWO ENTIRE DAYS OF QUOTES. YIPPEEEEEEE!!!
If I ever have to start doing PowerPoint presentations in the class, just take me out back there and shoot me, willya?
There are many impolite people in the world, mathematicians among them
I was wearing a scarf this morning and someone, just a random person said, "You must be a scarf person." I said, "You must be a rude person."
What would Jesus do on the Canterbury pilgrimage?
You know these guys out on the quad who go around with the stick they use to pick up trash? Well one morning I saw one out there with a squirrel on the end of the stick.
I hate to mention Woody Allen because he's such a knave.
Chaucer's monk has four things on his mind-- hunting, hunting, hunting, and food.
I know a kid who became a monk. T--- S----. Kid most likely to become a criminal. He became a monk. I saw him at a wedding and his habit was just beautiful, he had a convertible Porsche, I said, "Hey, T---, it looks like the monk business is doing pretty well." He said, "That's between me and God..." That's Chaucer's monk.
I ate swan once. It was a huge swan sculpted out of potato salad at a Polish wedding.

From Oyster to God in 60 Seconds
[and they describe this dream vision that they've had and then they wake up and say] "You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to write down that dream!" Well, save your effort, you've already done it!
No human being could eat that much food-- well, maybe Paul Prudhomme, but no human being.
You thought one pope was bad? They had two! They had three!
"Call me Ishmael." It sounds better than "call me Herman."
Since we're doing the general prologue I wore my "Canterbury Pilgrims" tie. Someone gave it to me, it's not the kind of thing you buy for yourself.
Don't ask me why there's seven sacraments. I asked a nun once why there were seven sacraments and she said, "because there's seven dwarves!" Years later I was trying to figure out which one was Dopey.
As lecherous as a sparrow, jumping around from one muffin crumb, as it were, to another.
And, you guys missed his TS Eliot impression, which can't be put into text, but.... it is forever burned on my brain.
