Well... um... oh where to begin. We were gone for slightly more than 24 hours. I took a *cough* role as moral support (a nice way of saying that I did NOT get anything except a bonus >_< although it could have been worse... I could have missed the bonus too). But the moral support end must have been good... my captain came out of our nine team quizzes as the top quizzer. Way to go Mark! And yes, he made it to Internationals. Of course! So I was really happy for him.
And now, for the quotes. *insert evil laughter here*
“I like the doors. They just don’t understand me.” ~ Beth
*watching tanks on TV* “I want to buy one of those.” ~ Andrew
“Next year we’re quizzing on Gollotions.” (Galatians and Colossians)
*later on, reading what she had written* “Galican? Oh! Gollotions!” ~ Beth
*after being told that something she was looking for was right under her nose*
“It’s not under my nose. My finger’s under my nose.” ~ Beth
“Don’t sing along. Especially when it’s kinda in another language.” ~McKenzie (aka Kenny)
“I just took a bite out of my plate.” ~ Beth
“AAAAAAH OH MY GOODNESS I almost just said…. That’s… depressing.” ~ Kenny (We banned that phrase, since Antion overused it so extensively last year!)
“I don’t think the windows understand me either.” ~ Beth
“Beware the skipping guys!!!!!” ~ me, Kenny, and Beth, trying to pretend that we did *not* know Josh and Sam, who were skipping across the parkinglot.
“Mulch is not exactly a weapon.” ~ Mrs. B
“With many other woids, er, many other words…” ~ Johnny D
“I feel more like having a nap than doing two more quizzes.” ~ Mark, my captain
“We seriously cried. It was hilarious.” ~ Kenny
“I’m not sure anyone wants to be me!” ~ Beth
Only at Districts…
*CRUNCH*
everyone in car: “WHA--? Oops, that was a water bottle (which we just drove over and which exploded)”
Kenny and I: *exchange glances* *laugh hysterically*
Beth: “Let’s turn on the light!”
Kenny: “Push the button.”
Beth: *pushes and pushes* “It’s not a button!”
me: “Try twisting it.”
*light snaps on*
Beth: “AAAAAH! BRIGHT!”
Kenny and I: *laugh hysterically*
me: “Josh… are you BITING your pop can?”
Josh: “Actually… yeah.”
Kenny: “WHY?”
Josh: “I’m trying to make a hole in it!”
Beth: “… has it worked?”
Josh: “Well, I’ve made a dent in it…”
Beth: “Why don’t you use a fork?”
me: “Because he wants to do it with his teeth!”
Kenny: “We are NOT a good group.”
Beth: “And we are not good together.”
Kenny and I: O_o
Kenny: “That what I just said!”
Josh: *pretends to shut door on me*
me: *hits Josh with backpack*
Josh: “That’s not very nice.”
Quizmaster: “And just because I’m interested… can anyone tell me what a proconsul is?”
Alex: “Some sort of Roman official… Mark, clarify.”
Mark: “What?!”
Alex: *standing up to try answering the question* “Stop it, Mark!”
Quizmaster: What?
Alex: “He was smirking at me!”
me: Is that a camera in the back?
Molly: WHAT?
Mr. G: So just jump. We have nothing to lose.
me: Except points...
Molly: *laughs*
me: I'm gonna paint Johnny D.
Gabe: Paint him as Mona Lisa.
me: No no Gabe, I said that I'm going to paint HIM, not going to paint a picture FOR him!
Gabe: I KNOW! I meant paint him and make him look like the Mona Lisa!
me: *thinks about that for a minute* I don't think that will work. He has the wrong kind of nose. But you, on the other hand... now I might be able to work with YOUR nose!
Gabe: Um, bye!
Mr. S: The Great Wall --
Mark: Is in China.
me: The Great Wall of China... hmm... let's see... it's in Turkey!
Mark: For a minute there, I was thinking that it was in Hong Kong.
me: MARK!
Mark: I was joking!
Josh: Where are the knives?
me: There AREN'T any. You just have to use your teeth [on the chicken].
Josh: >:-) I did sharpen them on the pop can last night...
Kenny: Uh-oh. I hear the sounds of Marco Polo.
me: Of course! It's Districts!
Mrs. B: I hear the sounds of Andrew.
both of us: Of course! It's Andrew!
me: Um... I can't hear when he says Marco... the guys are singing Polo in rounds.
Kenny: Uh...
*just then, the guys begin singing in organized parts, sounding like a barbershop quartet*
Kenny: Oh wow.
Kenny and I: *look over at guys kicking up might froth*
me: It's Sam, Josh, and Andrew.
Kenny: Of course. Our guys. Just imagine what it would be like if Antion had come.
Johnny D: *gets me to paint him* *walks into sanctuary looking rather self-conscious about trying to be unself-conscious*
Conner: Man! What happened to you! Did you get into a fight with a pencil?
Johnny (who does not take much nonsense): *turns around to answer him*
Conner: Actually, a pen?
Kenny: Everyone kept asking me why I was wearing a cape.
Bethany: It's a CLOAK not a cape!
Kenny: I know. They didn't. But I just kept telling them, 'Because I feel like it.' And Josiah kept pestering me and was like, 'WHY are you wearing that CAPE?' and I'm like, 'BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT! OK?'
me: More of, 'Because I stole it and have no intention of giving it back!' |
