Out of Context Awards: February 2004

From third place to first place…

“T-I… Donkey Kong!” – Shannon

Is there really context? After looking at a TI Calculator, my sister somehow messed up this Donkey Kong song from one game.

“It’s impersonal and all about the Benjamins.” – Tony

We were having a group discussion about the line, “Business is business,” in Death of a Salesman.

“If E.E. Cummings had written Winnie the Pooh, it would be much more disturbing and have sex in it.” – me

We’re doing a English project on a contemporary American poet or playwright (some are both). I was reading my poetry book on E.E. Cummings. I showed Emerald the book (at her request) and she asks, “Didn’t he write Winnie the Pooh?” My response wasn’t immediate. I thought that one up later, but still said it.
