Throwback, Part 1

Gun’s Quote-of-the-Week:

Well, folks, this week I spent my time at home instead of in Illinois where I should have been enjoying an evening with a pledge brother and his new wife. The fact that there were still cars slipping off of the highway and ramming in to each other 24 hours after a record-setting snowfall hit Kansas City kept me cramped up in my house all day for fear of becoming yet another idiot out on the road who shouldn’t be driving.

In any case, I figured I would do something productive, like sort and file old notes and files from years past. You know, cleaning things out. While doing so, I discovered old Gun’s Quotes that I kept from my days in Clark Hall, room 319 where Gun’s Quotes started on a marker board! Many of them are ridiculous, so tonight we are doing one, big, absurd throwback to ten years ago (2003 to be precise) and throwing out as many gems in one post as possible. Are you ready, kids?

“God’s not up at 5 AM!”

-Aaron Ingrassia, after telling him that I was doing some church-related activity early one morning. (Adopt-a-Highway, maybe???)

“She’s pretty cute… for a girl.”

-John Sillitti. John is going to make this list quite a bit tonight.

“Do not fornicate my pretzels!”

-Aaron Ingrassia. Aaron’s going to make this list a bunch tonight, too.

“You’re always black when you’re on my phone!”

-John Sillitti. John had an old, black-and-green screen cell phone. Most of the rest of us had upgraded to color by then, because, you know, cell phones had color screens for five years up to that point. So, when somebody called John’s phone, their name came up in black text… always.

“We resurfaced all the old people.”

-John Sillitti. That makes three thus far, John.

“Your arm’s asleep why? Because you ate rye bread?”

-Derek Ridge. Can’t quite remember how Derek made this rather far-fetched conclusion…

“I love my printer guy. He talks to me.”

-Derek Ridge. Derek had a Lexmark printer that had that super-annoying printer driver that felt the need to announce to you “PRINTING STARTED” whenever you hit print. But he liked him.

“How can you go home and look your mother and father in the eye knowing that you hugged a man that was pantless?”

-Tyler. An excellent question indeed.

“…and look how you turned out… Religious.”

-Aaron Ingrassia. I believe that we were discussing how our parents raised us one night, and Aaron pointed out a key flaw in my upbringing. Haha!

“Hey, baby, wanna go to church?”

-Aaron Ingrassia. Aaron was suggesting pick-up lines to help me find a date. For the record, this one never worked.

“Why don’t you run, fan?”

-Josh Reasoner. Josh wired it up, turned it on, and nothing happened. His curiosity was stirred.

Oh, there’s more where that came from, folks. Tomorrow night will be Pickell Hall and the quotes I found from 2004. Stay excited… you are getting four Gun’s Quotes this week!

…and that’s why it’s a Gun’s Quote!
