Quotes from Alaska

For those of you who simply can't believe it (Mickey), yes, this is indeed my fourth blog post this month. But, lest you erroneously presume this new-turned leaf to be commendably so, I direct your attention to the humble fact that the increase in posting frequency has been paralleled by an undeniable cheapening - a sort of change hardly of a good sort.

This post will serve as a rather timely example, in fact, as I will henceforward forgo the creation of mine own material whatsoever, instead falling back upon a select anthology of quotes I collected in Alaska. Hope you enjoy watching me sell my bloggy soul as much as I enjoy watching you watch me.

Chris: "How many of you know teenagers in your school right now who are making a difference in your community?"
(hand raised)
Chris: "What are they doing?"
Hand-raiser: "Community service."

Rob: "Mickey! Wake up! It's 7:20!"
Mickey (not drowsily in the least): "Hmm... that worked well." (promptly falls back asleep.)

Brian: "I got saved tonight."
Justin: "That's like the eighth time!"
