Jennifer, our foreign exchange student, when an American friend was speaking to her in slow, loud English:  
“I’m German, not retarded.”

CTY classmate Anna describing different musical genres:  
“Alternative is like, kill yourself. Rap is like, kill others.”

CTY instructor James on debating manners:  
“Don’t yell. This is philosophy. We don’t yell in philosophy… Yeah, we do, but don’t. It’s not nice.”

Allison’s version of telling people to shut up:  
“Stifle yourself. Oyster it. Put the cat back in the bag.”

First of all TheNerd, your friend Steve would fit in marvelously here with my friends.

We have pages and pages of quotes, but here are a few, for starters:

“Well, my god’s not that grumpy.” – Whitney

What I really want are dead bodies. – Jason, explaining what makes a good romance movie.

No one took wenches’ bosoms from me! – Jill (refering to a scattegories answer (things that bounce), but still!)

List 8 looks good, it starts with “things that are sticky.” – Eric  
We’ve already used C. – Whit

She’s a big girl, too. She has bonus livers. They’re not boobs, they’re livers. – Whit, about a friend who can out drink anyone we know

I am a dreidel, watch me dance! – George, as he pranced around like well, I s’pose it was a dreidel, in the middle of the cafeteria

The king of Israel is going to come back and hurt me. – Steve  
Why? – Jill  
Because I’m making fun of his genitals. – Steve  
It’s okay. He’d understand. If he were here, he’d make fun of your genitals too. – Jill  
(if it helps at all, Jill has a little copy of the David statue.)

Maybe I was from South Dakota and nobody told me. – George

If I were directing a play, I’d make you Nero or a claymation character. You look like a frustrated emperor. Or a claymation character. – Jill, to George

Well, security came into our room on “routine safety inspection” and found a beer bong, an alligator, and a crossbow. – Aaron  
Do you mean an alligator? Or is an alligator one of those things which I’m not privy to? – George

Maybe you SHOULD wear the dress. If you wore the dress, I’d be your pimp. You’d make the best transsexual whore. – Jill, to Steve, about Heather’s dress

He can be my lesbian. – Whitney, in reference to Steve and his thigh highs, after the magic 8-ball pronounced 3/4 of the room lesbians . . .

Are you pillaging and conquering George?? I don’t think so! – Whit, to Steve

She’s got . . . what is it? Necrophilia. – Whit’s mom, about Whit, meaning narcolepsy  
No!!! That’s copulation with a corpse! – Whit

Don’t make me come over there and castrate you with a fork! – Suz, to Denver  
That’s NOT your G-spot. – Steve

We’ve already got 8 pages this semseter, and there are many other lists too . . . but I’ll let you move on now.

OK, I now officially pronounce you and your friends cool, Erika. You would fit in so perfectly with my friends at school. And at USY too. I wonder why this thread is starting to die? I’m sure more people have friends that say strange things.

_A friend of mine and I were talking about a party we went to on Saturday night and he kept bugging me about looking frightened when I saw pigeons in the dark of an abandoned room while in the company of 2 girls._

Him: “Well you would’ve looked good if you weren’t afraid of pigeons.”

Me: “Dammit, they could’ve been bats! Besides, I’ve got a reputation to maintain… that of a kinky clown-lovin sadist!”

In response to one of those survey things

Innie or Outie?  
Marquis- I prefer the outdoors…

The poor boy gets confused often.  
I had to write down the two CDs I was going to let my friend borrow so I would remember to bring them. On my paper I inadvertantly wrote:

Orgy  
3 Doors Down.

That’s just wrong…  
It’s perfectly reasonable to eat a Chips Ahoy in 10 bites, what are you making fun of me?!! You probably think it’s cute, damnit!!  
Yes, I do own a cat.

It’s not fair. I want in on the odd quoting monty python and douglas adams referencing class. But noo…we only get the teacher singing I’m too sexy for religion. Tasha, do I want to know what context Jason said that in?

**Erika** , I am my friend Steve. I mean, I am Steve. Those were quotes that my friend Cath had collected from our various conversations. Now that I know she’s doing it, I’m going to have to try to catch a few of hers too.

My roommate in college had a reputation for saying the most awful things, without knowing it until it was well out of his mouth. I’ve lost most of them, but as an example, he was talking about a game of Quake, and he uttered this sentence: “So, there I was behind these two guys, just pumping away…”  
He would have gotten further, but everybody else in the room burst out laughing at that point.

That was actually rather tame compared to some of his gems. I’ll try to keep track of his latest too.

“Ignore the furniture in the catalog and embrace your hideous life.”

“Holy shit, if some guy ever said that to me, particularly whilst astride me, I’d shed every bit of inhibition in my body, along with every article of clothing I happened to be wearing at the time.”

“Sunny D is now the purple stuff! Up is down! Black is white! Dear god!”

Alas, **iampunha** , that information has been lost to history. The email to which my friend was replying isn’t in any of my folders. I do remember that the statement which induced this quote was uttered during one of my first extended sessions of “alone time” with my (now ex-) boyfriend. Beyond that, I really don’t remember.

_In Creative Writing class today, we were working with surrealism. The way we do surrealism is by teaming up, and each person writes a question and an answer (not the the same question) without knowing what the other is writing. The halves are then combined at random and VOILA! Ersatz surrealism. The following quotes come from today’s 80-minute session. I haven’t put them on my webpage yet. (Werthner’s the teacher. I’m Jenn. My friends are Carlee [female] and Jay [male].)_

_Werthner:_ For this I want you to shed your inhibitions.  
_Jay:_ And our clothing?

_Jay:_ Oh, you only THINK that’s a pencil.

_Surrealist Poem #1 from my group:_  
Why is Jay?  
Because he is God, the Almighty.

_Surrealist Poem #2:_  
Why is the sky blue?  
Because Stone Cold said so.

_#3:_  
Who’s going to win the World Series?  
YO MAMA!

_Jay:_ Why is it called the WORLD Series? It’s all American. America is NOT the world, no matter how Americentric we all may be.  
_Jenn:_ Well, technically Canada has the chance to get in there, but I don’t think that realistically the Jays have much of a chance at all. And two North American countries do not equal the world.  
_Jay:_ Canada wouldn’t count in the first place. It’s just like America, only stupid.  
_I beat him up for insulting Canada._

_Jay:_ WHERE IS MY NOTEBOOK!?!?!?  
_Carlee:_ I ate it.  
_Jay:_ You ate my notebook?  
_Jenn:_ Carlee, you ate Jay’s WHAT???
