“Yeah, you should just litter that.” – Shall remain nameless
Do not worry if your job is small
And your rewards are few.
Just remember that the mighty oak
Was once a nut, like you.

Some quotes that I heard this holiday season….
“Why do you have so much alcohol in the house?” “I like to drink.” (My dad to my cousin)
“What’s a Hannah Montana?” (My grandfather)
“What is that? E-mail on your cell phone? i just use mine for phone calls. I don’t do that text messaging. Is that what it’s called? The whole thing is too much for me.” (My grandfather again, he will appear a lot in this section)
“Yeah, it’s nice to see everyone again…I definitely need a drink though.” (My brother)
“Should we just order chinese or is that too cliche? Jews ordering Chinese on Christmas?” (My brother)
Back in the days of the Ithacan’t, “Quotes” was one of the most popular segments of the stapled neon newsletter. After an exciting holiday season, I’m here to bring you the quotes of the holidays…
“This truly is amazing.” – My uncle to my father, over Skype.
“America is the land of opportunity! Not Germany.” – My grandmother, in reaction to the news that my sister would be moving to Germany so her husband can get his Ph. D.
“Gram can go get it.” – Myself, after patiently helping Gram down the stairs on the way out to the car, when my father realized she had forgotten something upstairs.
“You’re still playing Bejewled?!” – My sister, several times during the break.
“Don’t mind if I do!” – My brother-in-law, in response to whether he wants another beer or not.
