Welcome to the Quotebook's Memorial Page. Here you shall find statistical information such as the top quoters, power quoters, most quoted days, etc, and fun things like quotes of the month, and quotes about the quotebook. The statistical stuff comes first, so if numbers bore you, you may want to scroll past that. But it might be fun to find your name in the list of quoters and see who's near you and stuff.

Remember the Quotebook.

The quotiest day in the history of the Quotebook is the 17th of August, 1998. This was the day of Matt's party at the Firestation followed by the usual hanging out at Adam's house. There was a total of 22 quotes. Among the quoted were both Michelles, Kathleen, Sara, Andrew, Ben, Adam, Jeopardy, a shirt, and Scream 2. On this great day, Andrew was likened to an ostrich, Kathleen read a good book by the fire, Adam demanded sex, Michelle Fouassier asked what an orgy was, ketchup was decidedly the nose accessory of choice, Michelle Kurzweil squeaked, there was pizza, and Kathleen uttered the famous quote: “Alblrbtbtrbt, bye.”
January 4th, 2000: 16 quotes. This day was made historical by the Power Quoter herself, Jen LENIHAN, who was responsible for 14 of the 16 quotes uttered, 10 of which happened over the space of 20 minutes! The event was the ski trip at Okemo, though skiing turned out to be not nearly as entertaining as watching Christine drink Coronas, listening to Matt describe his illness, and quoting Jen LENIHAN. On this day Octopus Hell came into existence, Springfield was defined as a place rampant with skanking whores, and Jen pleaded with me to stop quoting her.
May 6th, 2000: 15 quotes. On this day we discovered Jenn Bentley, like Jen LENIHAN, is quoterifically funny. This day was also monumental because the eminent composer Joan Tower was quoted, recounting the day when she was proposed to by illustrious fellow composer Arvo Part (one must use words like monumental, eminent, and illustrious when talking about famous composers). Other events of the day included Ben being verbose, the hysterical trip to the Olive Garden, and the conversation Cricket had with a wrong number.
December 31st, 1998 - January 1st, 1999: 24 quotes total. You knew New Years Eve had to be in here. No one person was responsible for the bulk of this event's quotes, but contributors included Sue, Sue's dad, Andrew, Kathleen, Matt, Sara, Erika, a random drunk girl, Disuhan, and Christine. Breasts was the topic of discussion, and the influential discovery that Alex has boobs all over her body was made. This theory was later simplified to Alex's current designation as Hoter. Also, Mao was introduced to the group, and it took us six whole months to get tired of that.

The quotiest month in Quotebook history was January '00, thanks to overexposure to Jen LENIHAN on the Okemo trip. The least quotey month was July '98, with a wimpy 11 quotes. The fledgeling Quotebook was still getting its footing in the Crackfiend world.

There is a discrepency to exactly how many quotes there are in the quotebook. A sum taken by adding up each person's quotes yielded the number 1268. The total quotes of each day, however, was 1373. I personally don't feel like adding them all up again. If you want to, you can, and I'll give you a cookie (of course) if you do. But until then, we'll all just have to accept that the number of quotes is between 1268 and 1373. So there.

Give homage to the Power Quoters, for they are what made this Quotebook great. Kathleen Lukachinski, a Power Quoter herself, coined the phrase, so she gets extra homage. There are no strict criteria for Power Quoter status. I simply looked through the Quotebook to see who distinctly had several quotes in a short period of time. The Queen Power Quoter is, of course, Jen LENIHAN who as you may have heard, was quoted 10 times in 20 minutes on 1/4/00. Here are some others:

Alyssa Church: 5 in 5 minutes, 4/27/00, discussing the definitions of different court convictions.
Betsy McCarter: 4 in a half hour, 4/12/00, singin' the blues.
Katie Apple: 4 in an hour, 2/28/00, random.
Kathleen Lukachinski: 7 over the course of a day, 8/17/98, various.
Jenn Bentley: 7 over the course of a day, 5/6/00, eclectic.

With help from Kathleen, Ben, Matt, and several of his friends from Rochester (Beth, Jess, and Amanda), I have selected the best quote from each month. If you disagree, then you're obviously wrong. Just kidding. If you have your own picks for quotes of the month, email them to me and I'll be happy to post them here.

And now we bid a fond farewell to our friend the Quotebook. Feel free to visit the Quotebook at its grave in my house. If you don't know where my house is, or don't know who I am, well then I guess you don't get to pay your last respects. Oh well. For your nostalgic pleasure, I have left the Death Pool bets posted below. Enjoy, and remember, the Quotebook will always be here on the web for you to browse through at your convenience. Enough corniness! I can't take it anymore!! Just browse!

Jen Lenihan: After some extreme and precise calculations taking in to account length of quotes, average number quotes per person per day and the number of pages left i came to april SO i closed my eyes spun around and pointed to a day. After missing the calendar totally i picked may 26th cuz its a nice round number!!!! i say runner up get a cookie and the almighty winner gets NoOkIe!!! : ) hahahah!!!! the day will be a sad one but atlease we will have something to look back at and a new quote book to fill.
Amanda McCormick: I predict that yer quote book will run out on...hrm...oh, maybe about...let's see...May 29th! Yesh, that's really early. :P Too bad.

Estimate: As of 5/2, the average days per page was 4.3. That number times 7.5 (pages left at that time) yielded 32.25. 32 days after 5/2 is June 3rd. Q.E.D. Erika Deckter: I pick June 15, 2000 for the quote book death pool 'cuz that is the quote book's 2nd birthday (and your 20th). If I win, do I get a cookie?

BenRoss: I predict its death to be on June 27, 2000 - it shall be a sad day, but hopefully a joyous day as well, for there might be a birth of a new quotebook. There shall most definitely be born a new quotebook.

Alyssa Church: Might I suggest a funeral dirge, "death of the quoteboook''? Lament for the quotebook? I would like to enter in a date. I would like to claim July 2nd for my very own entry in the quotebook death pool. Poor July 2nd. Nobody cares about poor little July 2nd. But I do. There, there, July 2nd. Okay Andrew, as you can see, I am insane too. All nothing and no anything else makes Alyssa INSANE.
Jennelle Riley: I think the quotebook's life depends on how often you hang out with Jen Lenihan, however since both you and her will be away at school, I predict that the quote book will retire on July 13th.
Sara hellosiR: I predict that the quotebook will pass on on July 22nd. God bless its tiny, paper, green ink covered soul.
Cricket: I picked the number 23. Yup .... Yup .... July 23, yup.... 23 tastes good.
Andrew Berman: As sad as Sara may be to hear this, I predict quotebook shall move into the next plane of existence on July 28th. The quotebook was born on my 18th birthday, and it may die on Sara's 18th birthday. Some of you may think that it's unfair that I'm making a bet, but it's not and here's why. If there is some kind of prize (such as a cookie) for winning, I'd be the one to buy it. Thus I have nothing to gain by winning, except the inclination to purchase myself a baked good. So don't worry about the threat of me rigging the contest, because I'd probably buy myself a cookie anyway.

Miriam Schilsky: i'm making my prediction that the quotebook will "die" on my birthday, august 31, 2000! damn i won't be a teenager anymore! frightening. i'm so jealous you have such a full quotebook, mine is wimpy, oh well. i think you should have an academy awards with your quotes, like give out funniest quote, most random, most disgusting, etc, it would be funny. just a suggestion. FanTASTIC idea.
