Nominations for best CC one-liners of all time

Parent Cafe

<p>I’ve been collecting favorite CC posts and phrases for awhile. Here are a few of my favorites:</p>

<p>“In general, IMIAO (in my intellectually arrogant opinion): Intellectually humble internet message board post = oxymoron.”</p>

2

<p>“That would be self inflicted schmuckery.”</p>

3

<p>“If any of you suggests my son was a drone or a robot or even not that interesting, I will yell at you with capital letters.”</p>

4

<p>“Love the kid on the couch.”</p>

5

<p>“Smirky virtual smirk”</p>

<p>The entire line was a post about perpetual CC comments… " “Good for you”: one line post after somene’s long venting post, with smirky virtual smirk. Almost always adult to adult yet sounding as if the other party was a bratty kid."</p>

6

<p>“What are my chances?” </p>

<p>Just kidding :rolleyes:</p>

7

<p>“I just don’t take such a panglossian view of the admissions decisions as some others do.”</p>

8

<p>“One thing I love about CC is, no matter how nutty the ranking system you are talking about, people will always come on the thread to discuss how the actual rankings are wrong.”</p>

9

<p>“Harvey Mudd’s classes are so difficult, the oxygen is sucked out of the air. The students have to wear oxygen masks when they go to class.”</p>

10

<p>“90% of life is just showing up, but a lot of the remaining 10% is proofreading.”</p>

11

<p>“As you can see by my post count, I’m new here.” (Jessiehl with over 2000 posts.)</p>

12

<p>"My mantra with this one (child) is: “I can’t want this more than you.” </p>

<p>(Referring to how much the child is studying/not studying for the SAT’s.)</p>

13

<p>“I am not a helicopter parent.”</p>

14

<p>“Chance me, and I’ll chance you back”…wth???</p>

15

<p>“college is a combination of Disney world and the state penitentiary”.</p>

<p>Who remembers Jamimom?</p>

16

<p>“The phrase “Chance me and I’ll chance you back” tells you all you need to know about the validity of the chance threads.”</p>

17

<p>Can someone please run a search on Curmudgeon posts? </p>

<p>That’s a new request right here, not a nomination for a great line.</p>

<p>Curmy has the best lines!</p>

<p>I think we need to give credit in conjunction with the quote. I would like to see which poster gives the most/best one-liners.</p>
