No wonder this review is long. Most of it is repeating the quotes. However, sounds like a fun read.

Nothing against your thoughts or writing skills, but I almost think that these quotes, and the humor in them, work better on their own, without your added comments.

Thanks for showcasing some of the more memorable utterances of the year.
