Balloting is now open. Choose your favorites for the official ranking …

1. Millie stalking the rabbits.
— Please note: No rabbits were hurt or even caught mildly off guard during the filming of WwWm VII. Submitted by Steve.

2. “Is that Charles Nelson Reilly or Elton John?”
–Chris Hage upon seeing costumed Weekender Bryan. Submitted by Beth

3. “I’m such an asshole… Oh, I’m so drunk.”
— Quoth Mike. First stated around 6:07 p.m. at the marina and then again 38 more times for then next hour and a half. Submitted by John K.

4. “I know all about your kind of people.”
— Mrs. Dale Gribble. Submitted by YOS

5. Surviving the Cheney Presidency.
–Submitted by YOS

6. “I kind of went in a different direction.”
— Deb Dicke, as Brett Somers. Submitted by Beth

7. “Pace yourself; it’s going to be a long night.”
— Mary Jo. Was she talking to the room or to the guests down the hall? Or maybe to the nebbish desk clerk who eventually stuck half his head into the room at 2:30 a.m. and made gratuitous suggestions concerning volume levels. Submitted by Beth.

8. Erudite Juvenilism
— Steve’s characterization, for his mother Nora and Uncle Richard, of the spirit of Weekend. Hmmmm. It seems we may be oxymoronic. Perhaps without the oxy.

9. “I’ve got bubbles.”
— Bryan Schneider, as Charles Nelson Reilly. Submitted by Beth.

10. Mary Jo’s partial finger amputation
— Winner of both the first Weekend Purple Heart and the Funniest Bloopers Award. Submitted by Beth.

11. The GOP Breakfast Special.
— At the Garden of Paradise quote/unquote restaurant. No one ordered it, but presumably the eggs were past expiration, the sausage nearly rancid, and the nutritional content non-existent. In Illinois, one would expect waffles to be included, too, except the far right side of the plate, which would be rigid and filled with hate. Submitted by Beth.

12. “But you still haven’t told me where the dog was.”
— Mr. Dale Gribble. Submitted by Deb

13. “You gotta get what ya got comin’ out”
— John K. Deconstructing continues about context and meaning. However, consensus has magnetized around the theory that this was related to Steve’s comment above. See number 8. As this was spoken at Garden of Paradise, it also could have related to a dispenser of some kind. Recorded by Elizabeth.
