Emanuel Plans to Rob Me!

(Anton’s Quote Book)

Introduction:

For several years now, I have been compiling a database of the strange and stupid things people say when they stop listening to themselves talk. For some reason, it has always been called “Emanuel Plans to Rob Me!” – probably because I sat next to him in my T1 math class and spent a little too much time bragging about my shiny new Palm IIIx, back when it was worth more than $5 resale. Now, I finally present to you in its entirety my book of quotes, organized in reverse chronological order – at the last possible moment, just like everything else I do! Some of the quotes may be inside jokes, completely incomprehensible, or simply lack any semblance of humor… but hey, who am I to decide that something should be omitted? I extend my apologies to those whose propensity for sounding foolish may be overrepresented; the frequency at which someone may appear in the quote catalog is mostly a function of the company I keep and the classes I take. So… please enjoy, use it to remind yourself what truly gifted high school graduates we all are, and don’t take it personally! An electronic version of the compilation is also available at:
