"I know, I know, if it ends in, ‘you hadda be there...’" Well if you weren't there for a particular quote, hopefully you can still appreciate it. If not, by all means, skip to the next quote. It was a year of South Park marathons, chickens, cross-country and international e-mail, Adam Sandler songs, and random road trips. Yonny was still making the quote list from 3,000 miles away (but we all know it’s really only 250 miles to California, the highways just loop around a lot). The number of quotes from a night at the house seemed to increase sharply following major sports events (especially when "jakaplan" was a fan).

And now, here are "CA’s" quotes of 1997-98:

BONUS!!
top ten yonny-on-the-phone quotes, 4/98*
*note: no one else was present for these quotes, they are for my own personal records, but anyone who knows yonny should find them amusing anyway. for those of you who don’t know yonny, the views expressed here do not necessarily reflect the views of ca and are meant in good fun. really. please don’t try to have me killed if you are mexican, canadian, homosexual, female, a landlord, buffy the vampire slayer, a manufacturer of beef stroganoff or those monkies that sing the macarena, or a member of any other social group whom yonny might offend.

124. if they wanna get into a pooping contest, they’re messing with the wrong excretor [re: snooping landlords]

126. mmm...beef stroganoff...there’s nothing I like better than coming home from work, sitting by myself and strogan’off

129. the most annoying people are the mexicans and the french. I should run for president because I know how to solve all our problems: canada isn’t full, and the mexicans are always spilling over into the US, so why not just have mexico and canada switch places?
130. hey, I try to be a hospitality hospital [yonny = hospitable - he doesn’t want people to think he’s "unhomey" so he has a magnet playing the macarena in his kitchen at all times]

      ca: is that why you moved there?
