Nerdfighters

If any fellow Nerdfighters, most of you, have read Paper Towns, I would like to know your favorite moments. Funny? Well-written? Sad? Tell me.Some of mine are:
page 23 (obviously)
the metaphor on page 183 (the one about Q peeing)
the almost being killed in the minivan bit
Oodles more, but of course I can't think of them when I need to.
..::MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS::..
DFTBA,

Oh my heck I don't think I could pick just one. I laughed so much, but also my mind was opened like crazy.

I think all the banter was just great. Like the comparisons of 'its so hard to get you a prom date...' and things like that. I just loved it. wow.
"Ben, did you glue yourself to the beer sword?"
"No, I superglued. That way no one can stela it from me!"

This part quite literally had me laughing out loud...the fact that I read it around 1 AM may or may not have had something to do with it.
the whole drunk Ben part just killed me. how he kept shouting YES!! YES YES!
it was past one in the morning and I had school the next day, but I just kept reading and giggling.
Though my favorite moment overall would take more thought, I can't get past this one line on page 50 when Margo is complaining about the way Lacey treats her. Q thinks to himself, "...you could not say that Margo Roth Spiegelman was fat, or that she was skinny, any more than you can say that the Eiffel Tower is or is not lonely."

I can't get that image out of my head, really. Tons of tourists and people around the tower, but nothing quite as tall, nothing to understand what being the Eiffel Tower would feel like. And of course, by implying that you couldn't say it one way or the other, I thought myself to sleep last night trying to decide whether or not it was.
I don't know, I'm rambling now but in that outwardly teenage superficial "is she or is she not fat" kind of way, it all just seems so modernly transcendental to me. It's all thought provoking, especially in hindsight, in that it foreshadows the entire novel.
It is just so very "John Green."
I must have read that sentence over 29 times. I love it! I agree with most of these posts, then I feel stupid for not mentioning them. I loved the ending too! It made me cry. Maybe because it was beautiful, maybe because it was somewhat sad. I love John talking about Chuck and saying that he is a "human-shaped container of anabolic steroids". GRR! I LOVED IT ALL!!
my favorite part would have to be when ben talks about pure suck running through that guys veins...

(it is late, and therefore my brain isn't working properly.)

i also love the superglued beer sword.
I think the part I laughed hardest at was when they got Radar the "Heritage Not Hate!" shirt.
And the beer sword.
and "You will Go to the paper Towns and You will Never Come back."
God, there were so many serious parts of the book I loved, but it's hard to pick out individual ones.
The whole thing was amazing.
*spoilers*

I loved the entirety of the road trip. But especially when the car is being compared to a house and all the rooms. Oh, and the whole peeing in the beer bottle es muy funny.
Oh, yeah. The fourth food group isn't crackers.
I've posted this on soo many Paper Towns threads, but drunk Ben made me lolololololol just like that.
People were looking at me weird right and left, but oh geez I could not stop laughing.
Any scene with Ben pretty much drove me to laughing to the point of crying. (Purchasing the book at 4pm on a Monday and reading until 1am might have had something to do with it.)
The philosophical aspects of PT are too many to list, but I loved them all. And the Nerdfighter references. The Bartlesville address was a fun surprise.
