Quotes and good conversations.
The nature of human memory, and the necessity of conveying the gist of the entire conversation in a few lines, makes it impossible that the following recollections should be entirely accurate. But I tried to make it as accurate as possible, and the spirit of the conversation is there in each case. Of course, I am open to correction by other participants of these moments whose memories serve them better.

(While debating the literary merits of Maison Ikkoku)
David S: "I mean, c'mon. Is Maison Ikkoku going to be in Heaven?"
David K: "It'll be in heaven because I'm going to bring it up!"

(In a discussion concerning women)
Chris W: "So whether it's wisdom or luck or whatever..."
Royce T: "It's not luck, its providence."
David K: "Better lucky than wise."
(Context: In Magic, "Better lucky than good" is a common saying)

David S: "The car's on Virginia. But it's parked epically far away."
(In heaven, I wonder if every phrase from our mouth will be ones like these.)

(over ICQ)
Isaac F: "Does SDavid want to go?"
David K: "He says maybe."
Isaac F: "Tell him that honorable apologetically inclined freshman girls from my church will be there."
David K: "Okay, I'm sure he'll be more inclined to go."
Isaac F: "I am wise as a serpent!"
David K: "=) But you're not causing David to act innocently as a dove."

(During Contact Evangelism, when my contact was explaining to me what he meant by 'negative' and 'out of resonance', two hours after I had adapted the 'contra moral relativism' paradigm.)
My contact: "I'm sorry. Maybe I should have called it 'ultimate evil' instead."
(Grr....)
03-04-01
(At a restaurant)
David S: "Hey, she didn't bring me my water. It's like I'm not even here! Hmm. Maybe I died and now I'm a ghost."
David W: "Say Kwon, are you hearing voices?"
David K: "Oh, yeah... I've just been going through a lot of stuff since Dave died. It's been pretty hard."
David W: "The rent must be horrendous now."
David K: "Yeah."
Johanna B: "I think it's nice of us to still set a place for him when we eat, like he was still with us."
03-04-01
Isaac F: "She lacks ontological being."
(This comment is of such quality that, even though it is a very effective insult, I would not mind having it be directed at me, so glad would I have been to just hear it.)
03-04-01
Drew W: "So you're getting baptized?"
David K: "Yeah. In a few weeks."
Drew W: "What do you guys do? Are you getting sprinkled, or..."
David K: "No, no, I'm getting dunked. Sprinkling is kinda... "(makes dismissive gestures)
Drew W: "Well, it's not like one is holier than the other, right?"
David K: "I guess."
(A few minutes later...)
Drew W: "Oh yeah? I got dunked!"
David K: "Oh yeah? Well, I got baptized in running water!"
Drew W: "Ha! Well I got baptized in a river!"
David K: "Well I got baptized in the river Jordan!"
03-04-01
David S: "There is probably three cute theologically minded girls somewhere complaining about the lack of guys."
Isaac F: "Yes, and one of them listens to Korean music."
David S: "And one of them likes to climb rocks."
Isaac F: "And the third one probably has a perfect game of Metal Gear Solid recorded on a VCR."
02-12-01
Tim W: "You misspelled that."
David S: "I did?"
Tim W: "Yeah."
David S: "This sucks. I propose that we get rid of all words that have more than seven letters in it."
Tim W: "Okay."
David S: "Are you sure? 'Calvinism' won't make it."
Tim W: "Hmm. That's true. But 'Dispensationalism' won't make it either, so it's okay."
02-12-01
(While discussing our work of presenting the Gospel, in comparison to God's work of regeneration.)
David K: "This is from The Count of Monte Cristo. At the end of that book, the main character says that the whole of human wisdom is summed up in these two words:"
(A dramatic pause, as David K. scans the room.)
David K: "And I can't remember what they are."
(by the way, the two words are "wait" and "hope".)
02-12-01
David K: "You are... A puppet."
Johanna B: "I'm a puppet!?"
(Soooo close to the actual dialogue...)
02-12-01
(Concerning dating.)
John S: "Just because there's a goalie, doesn't mean you can't score."
(It's funnier if you know who John S. is.)
