Notable Quotables

Before you read on, just know that a certain team from a certain city will not be mentioned because of the sensativity of the current situation. I will provide my thoughts after the unspeakable does or does not occur.

As for now, I offer a series of quotes taken from my Geology Instructor that I have compiled over the semester thus far. Once I realized how insane and funny this harmless, nice, likeable old guy was, I knew I had to write them down. What's great about them is that all you need to know is he's a Geology nerd. That's All :)

  • "It's like putting a midget up against a sumo wrestler. You know who's gonna win.......unless the midget has a gun."
  • "Elements....not to be confused with elephants"

  • "Stinks, doesn't it? It's like a scratch 'N Sniff fart"

  • "Rose Quartz...sounds like an exotic dancer or stripper or something. (later) Smokey Quartz: Does not prevent forest fires"
  • "It sounds like one of you are french kissing a balloon"

  • in Conan O'Brian voice: "Nothing but the best for my babies!"

  • "That's a raw uncut diamond, not a booger"

  • Someone is hunched over a desk, unmoving and arms fall to either side (sleeping): "uh oh, I think I killed somebody"

  • "Minerals aren't quite as sexy as volcanic eruptions"

  • "Volcanic eruptions get Pierce Brosnan. Nobody does a movie about quartz"

  • "you wanna see mother nature's equivalent of beef jello?"

  • "It's carbonized. Like Hans Solo in Star Wars"

  • "Is a Pluton a Futon? Only if you're a Clingon. Warf would lie on an igneous bed and say (in Warf's voice): A WARRIOR'S BED!"

Like everyone else, I am going to die. But the words – the words live on
for as long as there are readers to see them, audiences to hear them. It is
immortality by proxy. It is not really a bad deal, all things considered.
-J. Michael Straczynski
