KAUST made us fill out some information for a yearbook – that is for before we actually go to school together. It will be printed and distributed this summer.

Rose stopped printing yearbooks the year before I went here. One question was our favorite quote. Which for me is easy.

He said it during a Katrina relief special. It was cut from the West coast feed, coincidentally. It is on the youtube. Mike Myers is standing next to him and does the quintessential double takeafter hearing it before the camera cuts away. It summed up so much in such a simple statement. But I didn’t use it because it is a bit politically charged. Mainly it was because it is a bit vindictive after he is out of office. Also Kanye West is full of himself (see a recent South Park episode) and calls himself the voice of our generation. Which apparently is the voice of ripping off Daft Punk. Instead I went with #2, a bit of a turn around on a Woody Allen quote:
I used to think the brain was my favorite organ until I realized who was telling me that – Emo Phillips
