Signs of Burnout

Tara Hair:  I can't sleep because I'm stressed.
Chris DuBois:  Is there anything I can do to help?
Tara:  I just need drugs...  I just need drugs...  I just need drugs...
Chris:  ...I'll see what I can do

Case in point

Justin Andersen (discussing a negotiation):  Wait, is Carly part of the union?
Chris DuBois: Don't worry, Carly's deaf anyway.
Carly (on the other side of the lounge):  What'd you say, I'm dead to you?!?
Justin:  Exactly

Choosing your words carefully is a virtue when around the person who runs the Quote Blog

(While walking to the Target party at NBMBAA, after attending another party that had nametags)

Jennia Parkin (referring to Chris's nametag):  What does that red dot mean? Oh i thought it meant virgin...."

Chris DuBois and Janessa Cloward start cracking up.

Jennia:  "Not like that, like virgin drinks!  Oh man, I need to be careful about saying stupid things around you guys!"

Al is smrt

Al Camargo:  I can't believe I'm planning my schedule for my last semester ever.  I still remember when it first started.

Jack Shirts, Chris DuBois, and Merritt Aho (at the same time):  I would hope so, it was only a year ago!  You're not that old...

From China with love

(Apologies in advance for the self-indulgent nature of the next two posts.  Going on a trip to China with a bunch of students can generate a lot of ridiculous quotes, but instead of spreading them out over multiple posts, I'll condense them to two:  one for Jack Shirts, one for everyone else who went to China.  This is the "everyone else" post)

"Print advice?  Is that like a fortune cookie or something?"
 -Janessa Cloward to the Chinese ATM asking if she wanted a receipt (aka advice)

Elena Samuels:  "You speak Spanish?
Chris DuBois:  "No, but I speak cajones"

"How bout Chinese food for dinner tonight?  Yeah, I could go for some Chinese"
-Everyone after 10 straight days of Chinese food

Kelsey Harris:  "We ordered our first meal without Chinese speakers!"
Chris DuBois:  "Yeah.  At Pizza Hut.  And the menu had pictures.  And we still screwed it up"

"Don't sit on the ground in China.  Don't ask me, why, just don't."
-Dr. Fawcett

"You are all employees of the Kelsey Harris Company"
-Kelsey Harris after the nametags at Google implied we all worked for Kelsey

"I wouldn't bounce in the elevator if I were you.  It says Hitachi, but I'm pretty sure it was made in China."
-Trevor McEwen while riding in the elevator in the hotel in Beijing

Chris DuBois. (to annoying street vendor):  "Bu yao!" (meaning "I don't want it!)
Street vendor:  "Bu yao?  You speak excellent Chinese!"

"Are you a shy boy?!?"
-Suit store lady to all of the men buying suits in Shanghai when asking if we wanted her to hold up a sheet as we tried our suits on.

"Oh forget it shy boy!"  *throws sheet away*
-Suit store lady to James Core after she accidently pinned James's shirt to his pants

Jim Fowler:  "What's sorcery?"
James Core:  "I'm pretty sure that says sourcherry"
-Trying to order a sourcherry sundae at Burger King in Hong Kong

"Don't eat butter for every meal."
-Jim Fowler

"I was put on this earth to eat Caio's jalapenos"
-Chris DuBois after a 10 days of Caio avoiding spicy food

Man Crush #3

(during a post-exam lunch)

Jason Stapley: Does Matt Schultz work out? He has nice arms.

Jay Hart: Please send that to the blog!

Chris DuBois: Oh no doubt, I'm on it.

Jason: Whatever man, that dude is ripped! I'm just speaking truth.
