2013 Bible Bee quote book

I know it's a little late and we probably have forgotten a lot is what was said at nats but I though this would be a cool idea if we posted some of our favorite 'quotes' of what people said at nats. They can be silly or serious it doesn't matter lol

Can these be from Locals too or just Nationals? I guess not. :S

Things people said?!?!? I remember things that happened but not exactly what people said…

ok.. we could make it events and quotes..
@El - locals too if you want.. :P

Noah, in the wave pool:
"I want you all to remember this as the day that you almost caught–" wave hits Noah, cutting him off

"Just because we're jealous doesn't mean we should stop clapping."—Me, as the second to last Oral group was filing out of the room

"A horse walked into the library. The librarian asked it: 'Why the long face?'"—Mrs. MacMahan
After the Seniors mostly gave her blank stares:
"You don't think that is funny? The primaries liked it!"—Mrs. MacMahan

1. I remember it all too well.
2. Same. facedesk

Yes. I felt like a double martyr, because I was should have been in the second to last group, but I got bumped backwards.

Indeed. And my brother got moved up to the second to last group when he should've been in the last group with me! grovels

I got to be in the first group…but don't worry, the ffr was pretty boring.

"I always wanted to bring a dessert!" —Me to Sarah when Mrs. MacMahan expressed her dislike of always bringing desserts

The… what?

What?

That was not our issue. I know full well that fun is over-rated. I did not like being in suspense for so long.

Oh… Family Fun Room. Sorry.

Jaw drops, eyes widen in shock You-you-you just said an unnecessary sorry!!!!!

Did I? Oops, sorry.

"It will probably be dark by the time we get out."—Me, in line for orals

Ahhhh…you did it again!!!
:P

We have been given an apology. We demand an insult!

I'm trying hard to remember something I said while we were waiting there, but I can't… Maybe because I didn't say much of anything… :P

You didn't. We made observations about how we would miss the Memverse meeting, and if the chandelier fell it would lower the competition.

I said plenty. I was in my grumpiest mood all year, probably.

You made the observation about the chandelier. :P I just stood there uncomfortably, wondering how this violent person could claim to be the Margaret Eddy I knew from Memverse. :P

You thought I wouldn't be violent from what you know about me on here?

You sure seem bitter about it. :P

Well, I didn't quite expect it. ;D

Usually I go the silently miserable route.

Gotta go now! It's been… riveting. ;) Farewell!

Just remember that I should have been in the second to last group… or the second to first group if Mrs. MacMahan hadn't used to be a Widdos.

"That was so much easier than locals!"—Pretty much everyone, after the written

“Sarah! YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT TO NATIONALS!” – practically everyone I know ^and I fail them every year^

There are some really funny quotes I remember… they just aren’t coming to me tonight. :(

"I'm connected!! WOW!! -A man at our locals in 2012
And there is a story behind that quote :D

Now you have to tell the story!!!!! :)

LOL….maybe, maybe :D

This was back in 2012… I was in line waiting for Orals, and was really nervous. Mrs. McMahan asked me "Matthew, are you cold?" "No… I'm just nervous…" :P

Can't think of any more right now… I'll post when I do! :)

The first one I could think of was when I was headed down to go to the written test and I walked by you (Dani) talking to Carissa and Carissa was like "This is Danielle" and then left. And then I was like "gasps you're Danielle!!??" :P You probably got that a lot, I'd imagine:D

Not exactly a quote but…in the middle of the written test
*pushes test booklet back a little and knocks my name thing of the edge of the table, making an incredibly loud "thud" for a piece of paper *
*feels very dumb *
The contestant sitting next to me looked at me then started laughing (very quietly). I looked back at them and started laughing (very quietly) too, feeling even dumber :P
I didn't pick up my paper till I'd finished the test :P :P

Oh, I don't think anyone's posted this one yet :P

In the ffr after waiting _*forever* for orals_
"We have good news and bad news. The bad news is there's been another delay and we'll have to wait another hour. The good news is I'm just kidding and you can all leave now."

(someone correct me if they said "half-hour" instead of "hour")

"This kid is really good." My oral judge at locals whispering to a guy she was sitting next to when I was going up to a challenge round. :)

lol! nice quotes everyone. lol keep it up!
@SBG - lol! I have a feeling you have a lot of interesting Noah quotes… lol

I would, if I had a better memory. :-/

LOL… I remember hearing that, and wondering who did it :P

Well, now you know! xP

my dad: They'll probably have Nationals in Florida next year.
me: What? No! There is no way that it'll be in Florida!!!

Mrs. MacMahan as we are waving our hands in the air (or not): "Someone asked in a webinar if I would make you do this!"
(I choke quietly)

That was you!?! i should have guess…wait maybe I already knew that…My mom started laughing and said, "I'm not answering that one!" :)

We thank you and feel deeply indebted to you for your silence in NOT reminding her to check for compliance in the "E" section.

Words cannot express my gratitude.

The scene: Senior written test round, before the test started
The problem: My answer sheet, in the bubbles where you mark your contestant ID, had black marker marking all the zero's and in other random places on the scan sheet.
I raised my hand and pointed this out to Mr. Widdoes, and he said to go ahead and use it, and they would make sure I got the points for it. I wasn't to comfortable with that, so I asked him again, and he said, "Trust me." (And I thought, "Trust you! I don't even know you!) When they passed out the test booklets, I said, "Can I PLEASE have a new test booklet?" He agreed, but said it would take a while. (Yes, Seniors, I was the one who was holding up the written test. It wasn't my fault.)

Haha! It's okay :-) Are you new here?
