You're the best of the best.  You're good people.  (said to the lizzes)--Owen

I have an easy job for you.  –Supervisor Owen

It is 6:00.  It's time to get up.  --Owen's 3rd cell phone alarm, in a computerized woman's voice

Hello!  Come back!  --Owen impersonating annoying Indian supervisor

b.s. meter.  ding, ding, ding, ding!

 

Schtupid!  --Gary 

I don't really like myself. 

Ladies are lovely creatures, but emotional animals.

Take chopsticks & shove it up his ass.

 

Sherpa!  Stay close!  Very healthy.  –Liz Sims, WWOOFer hostess, in a high-pitched, shrill, piercing, banshee-esque voice

 

He’s a whirlwind of activity.  It’s amazing how he’s so gentle yet retains his masculinity.  --Liz Sims, about pokey, geeky Toby (fellow WWOOFer)

 

We’re in a ball.  We rolled down a hill.  We’re wet.  --Toby (German) on zorbing

30 orks passed here.  Into the woods.  Oh, look what I brought back to the shire (a ring, on a chain around his neck).  –Toby’s LotR impressions, while hiking

It’s scary when you realize a 12-year-old girl listens to the same music you do.  –Toby, about Talia

 

I’m sorry we didn’t get to know Simone for longer.  She would have been fun to know for a week.  –Voigt

 

Rain, rain, and more rain.  It’s never going to change.  –Justin, WWOOFer host, in Eeyore voice

cast additions:

Liz Sims—WWOOFer hostess.  I’m not prejudice against the United States (she certainly was); claimed the best way to travel is to admit your country is wrong.  Also claimed they don’t watch TV in this house; in actuality, her daughter watched about 3 hrs/day!  Claimed cobbler/fruit pie is very healthy; we eat very healthy here.  Secretly desires to be part of an oppressed minority.  Claims she’s open-minded & wouldn’t mind if her son were gay & she didn’t have grandchildren, yet completely judgmental toward pro-Bush, conservative, or religious people.  Adores Asians

 

At the same place, we have a WWOOF host who’s an Anglican preacher w/ dreadlocks, & a fellow WWOOFer, who’s an atheist Christian, that is, his name is Christian & he’s an atheist (claims is normal for Germans)

 

Can’t get away from Germans, by far the most people that we’ve met thus far.
