OT, but you would not believe how insane some of the freshman parents were. I had one mother tell me that her daughter was not allowed to live in a coed hall because it would make her promiscuous, and also something about how her husband could get into bed with a whore and talk about Jesus, that's how faithful he was.

And Shalamar replies

Perhaps she's confusing talking about Jesus with "Oh, God! Oh, GOD! OH GOD!"

It seems like an almost obvious thing for a snarker to pipe up with, but that doesn't diminish it's awesomeness.

Certainly hysterical.

Aw, thanks, guys!

And while I'm here - Genevieve in the Etiquette thread, waxing philosophical on the proper way to buy a child's gift:

QUOTE

FAO Schwartz? How...common. Don't you know, you are supposed to purchase one of the a kind hand-made toys created by Danish hipsters. It should be orange and white and not exactly a toy but an abstract art piece/furnishing and should be called "vorstedhammen tweet tweet" and at least 300 dollars.

I was grinning throughout her entire post, but the "vorstedhammen tweet tweet" had me in tears.

jensa in the Pirates of the Caribbean thread:

I loved this movie and am not afraid to shout it from the rooftops! I want to take it home for a drunken night of passion, marry it in Vegas, take it back after it leaves me for some Lindsay Lohan flick, beg its forgiveness after I cheat on it with Russell Crowe as the Sheriff of Nottingham, and sit in a rocking chair on the porch with it and grow old together.

Heck, the whole last two pages of the PotC thread have had me rofling. Here's laddical's contribution:

QUOTE

The only thing that could make me more excited for Transformers would be to learn that at one point, Cap'n Jack sails in aboard the Pearl and we find out that it's an Autobot Headmaster, with Jack transforming into the head.

Thanks Luthien!! My first metaquote. Thanks for enabling my caffine fueled rants!!

Damn, people keep beating me to this thread - I was totally going to metaquote jensa's post about PotC: AWE too.

Shalamar thanks. I should admit I was kinda making fun of a blog I read that is devoted to baby stuff. A lot of the products they post about are neat but some of it does get a bit frou-frou. Things like this and that. I can't make this stuff up.

Bwah! I love the English translations of the "toys'" descriptions.

A STOOL. A stool is just a contemporary furniture that gives a multifunctional use to you. Use it as storage, stool, or anything that you want.

Here's tothemax's contribution to the Matthew Fox discussion over in the TWoP thread:

QUOTE

Matthew Fox created a drug-resistant form of TB because he grew tired of killing people with his own hands.

That one really had me laughing because I bet that some TWoPpers would buy that story if it was relayed to them even by the least trustworthy of sources!

BUSH REVEALS MATTHEW FOX CREATES DRUG-RESISTANT STRAIN OF TB

President declares actor "The Plague Guy."

I think I'll go place that link in all over the Lost forums to see how much more anger and resentment toward Matthew Fox it generates. I'd say the haters couldn't possibly have anymore venom and vitriol to spew, but that would be selling them short, and I don't wanna do that.
