To Ze, With Love

The South remarked before embarking on his journey home that I have not posted anything in an eon. I have heard that an eon is the amount of time that it would take you to take feather and brush away every particle of the himalayan mountains resulting in a flat area at sea level. At least, that's how I heard it.

Y'all know that I bear great love for The Show with Ze Frank. When Ze Frank started doing the Show he said that he would do it for exactly a year. Five days a week for one year. That year came to a close this past Friday. *sniff* And I have wanted to put together a list of some of my favorite episodes of the show.

Me being obsessive.

Some have the formal titles. Some have titles of my making. I am hoping that the archive does not disappear tomorrow. That would make me cranky after putting this list together. They are in nostly chronological order.

Favorite Zefrank Quotes:

"believe it or not making out is just one of many things you can do with another person." from 7-26-06

"And remember, be yourself. Unless you're an asshole." from 8-21.06

"Not all science is about makin' dough and gettin' chicks." from 6-20-06

"Edwards seen here welcoming the kittens of heaven" from 4-09-07

The favorite quotes of others
There's a whole favorite show project on the zefrank wiki that I am too shy to participate in.

I never got to the point where I became an active member of that community. I lurked on the forums and I visited the ORG once. But I never took part in the groovy community that was built around this project. Just never quite got there.

Still, for five days a week for a year. It was a part of my day. And I will miss it.
I hope that whatever expressions of awesomeness that Ze moves on to I get to witness at least a few of them.

I loved the one about the origins of Santa Claus: "why did you get me this? I don't even like it--Oh, that's not from me. Yeah, this fat guy with a white beard broke into our apartment. I know, what a jerk!"
