“Jerry Clower tells of a sheltered man who came to the city for the first time. In the lobby of a beautiful hotel he stared at these incredible machines which kept opening and closing. He was amazed at what took place right before his eyes. Two men entered the machine dressed in suits. When the door opened, three men came out in shorts. One man got in with three suitcases and then was completely gone when the doors opened again. The excitement of this machine got the best of him when an old and wrinkled lady climbed into the machine and shut the doors. In just a few moments a gorgeous young lady exited from the machine. He couldn’t contain himself any longer so he yelled across the lobby to his son, “Boy, go get your momma!” Jerry Clower

Each man that’s on the side that’s in goes out and when he’s out he comes in and the next man goes in until he’s out. When three men are out, the side that’s out comes in and the side that’s been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out. When both sides have been in and out nine times, including the not outs, that’s the end of the game.” Bits & Pieces LOLOLOL

"MILES MORGAN!!" -Every member of the Creation Response Team EVER. (Jonathan Park)

"EVER", you say. So you're including Miles himself, right? :P

I'm sure he said that at some point! XD

Menacingly. Every self-respecting bad guy has announced themselves similarly, so I'm sure you're right.

xD I normally am. Just kidding!

More quotes later…but for now… _{and if anyone can remember these better than I can, that would be great. :P}

Caleb: Wow, you guys sound like a Lutheran liturgical service.

Caleb H: "Hey Emily, are you going to come to the Alumni meeting to watch all us Alumni make fools of ourselves?" _{Y'all actually did a fantastic job xD}

I literally laughed out loud over the kosmos thing. xD

Emily. I don't recall EVER seeing you in the new chat room. tries to ask nicely Might you come in for a while? xD

After the Senior written they brought us all into this room for our parents to come pick us up.

Saturday night, I walked over to the square dancing, but it looked more energetic than I was up for, so I left and found a table with several people whose signatures I still did not have.
Someone: "Are you a member of the SDHA?"
Me (autocorrecting it to HSLDA): "Yes, my whole family is."
Everyone else: gives me really weird and amazed looks
Me (feeling the need for a filler to break the awkwardness): "Uh…we get the magazines."
Everyone burst out laughing at this, and then they explained that they were talking about the Square Dance Haters of America.
(Another thing that was hilarious if you were there, but might not be if you're reading this. I'm still laughing about this one.)

LOL!!!!

Hahaha!!! That's terrible, though. Who was in the group? :P

@Anna- I'm never joining that group and I look down on everyone in it as warped people.

@"Rachel M." Danny F, Noah M, Genevieve K, and David P. There may have been a few other people standing around, though.

Anna…that's hilarious. xD

^{After they split up the Senior semi-finalists and there ended up being four KJVers on one side and…one…on the other}
Denver B: Josh! You shoulda pulled some strings to get some KJVers on my side!!

@Anna- Marija w, James, Caleb W(?), and I are also in it. We are just in the 'International' part of it, as we said. :P. lol
That's funny though! Lol! XP

Haha! @the Doctor If I had extra free time (besides sleeping, catching up on things, and socializing), I'd write a magazine for SDHA, complete with a "Court Report". That would be hilarious, but there's only 24 hours in a day, so… :)

"Home sweet home. Whoever penned that was never a national Bible Bee contestant." - Zach Baas

Haha… :P @"Emily H" see Zach's quote! ;P

One of my favorite quotes… :)
"Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in thee."
-Augustine

@Zach- Haha

Zach, Rachel… of course John Howard Payne couldn't have been a BB contestant…that was written like…in the 1800s. But beyond that, there's no reason he couldn't have written it as a BB contestant. It never claims that home is the best place in the world, that he enjoys being home more than any place else, that home is the sweetest place, or anything like that. He says "There's no place like home". Which is really true about every place, because no place is quite like another place, so there's no place quite like that place. Also, if you look at more of the song than just that one overly cliche and marketed line, it talks more of someone who's been seeking pleasure and adventure and finally realized what he had at home.
