Where’s (ralph) Waldo (emerson) Week Over

Where’s (ralph) Waldo (emerson) Week has now ended, and we have included 6 (six) references to Emerson. Note that in the case of the Thoreau, there is Emerson inside the Thoreau, presenting a special challenge.

You now have 24 hours to cleanse your mayonnaise-spattered hands, and write down your answers, correctly identifying the location of all six references, and perhaps providing a little background material about the original source of the reference, and how/if we’ve cunningly altered it. This accomplished, email them to us, using the convenient sidebar link.

Best of luck, and remember: the winner will have an article written about them, discussing their numerous undesirable characteristics with a great amount of comedy. If you’re a big wuss, and we’re feeling generous, we may allow an Insult Proxy, but don’t count on it. Consult the original contest article for details about other rules. Also, we just thought of another rule: funnier (correct) entries will have precedence. We are tired of your yawnsome epistles, you jerks.
