<p>Erin’s Dad…That only shows the top schools. I was trying to find ALL the schools. I’ll see if I can find it using scansmom’s date.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

62

<p>On a current thread about how much our teenage sons talk to us :</p>

<p>“Thank you for letting me vent a little…am hoping this will somehow be resolved with GF by the holidays.”</p>

<p>To which Zoosermom wrote:</p>

<p>“In your position I’d be hoping for a Turkey Drop.”</p>

63

<p>vlines:

</p>

<p>“mom up”</p>

64

<p>

</p>

<p>This line was (accurately) (and not unkindly) aimed at my very own D. I can laugh about it now. :)</p>

65

<p>Aside from the “I think I broke my poodle” title which is the funniest ever…</p>

<p>this is a memorable title…</p>

<p>*One of my tenants just dropped dead-what to do? *</p>

<p>It’s one of those threads that you have no idea what you’re going to read until you open it.</p>

<p>another great CC line…
*Raising a teenager is like nailing Jello to a tree *</p>

66

<p>Just spotted one: “You really need to land that helicopter.”</p>

<p>From Massmomm, on another active thread.</p>

67

<p>I’m another poster who remembers Jamimom with great fondness. Also Marite for wisdom and Sluggbugg for hilarity.</p>

68

<p>There are so many really funny, erudite posters on this board. Thank you all!</p>

<p>I keep thinking of various one liners I could post but the problem is knowing whether they are intentionally funny or dead serious. It is often hard for me to tell.</p>

69

<p>From a thread about the high cost of vet care:</p>

<p>“We had an experience with an emergency vet earlier this year…The entire ordeal set us back about $3000. We nearly changed his name to Week at the Beach!” (mamazilla)</p>

<p>“We could have opted for a total hip replacement…We decided a total dog replacement was a better option.” (eastcoast101)</p>

70

<p>I remember this one:</p>

<p>“Does a loan have to be paid back after I graduate?”</p>

71

<p>These days I am waiting for the turkey drop…too bad. I like her just not her drama LOL.</p>

<p>I didn’t go back and read them all, but I do like the ones that say:</p>

<p>“I got a 2380 on my SAT, will any good college accept me now?”</p>

72

<p>I know this wasn’t meant to be humorous (probably), but this struck me as funny. It’s a comment toward the beginning of a controversial thread.</p>

<p>“This thread will not end well.”</p>

73

<p>Or
“getting the popcorn ready.”</p>

74

<p>Love this thread, and Schmaltz makes me laugh the most frequently.</p>

75

<p>“[summary of 90% of parents forum posts] blah blah blah my kid this that, my kid, did i mention my kid? my kid is great. my kid is a genius. my kid did this and he also did that. i love my kid. my kid is at Harvard. what’s hard for your kid isn’t hard for my kid. oh by the way, <em>something mildly related to the topic</em> [/summary]”</p>

<p>DoinSchool</p>

76

<p>I nominate eastcoastcrazy as our Official Archivist. Also, I wish he(she) would write a monthly thread with “The Best of CC” for ____(month, year).</p>

77

<p>"Rigor is in the eye of the beholder’'</p>

78

<p>From the Colleges You/Child Crossed Off After Visiting thread:</p>

<p>“I thought DC was sort of placed where it was because it was neither north nor south. Sort of the Ryan Seacrest of locations.” Schmaltz</p>

<p>“Bottom line: If you send your child to UCSB, they will become a well-educated young man or woman who will be addicted to alcohol and/or drugs and unable to thrive in a traditional relationship.” scootergal</p>

<p>“Vanderbilt: Although I had Mono and strep throat while I visited, and there was a tornado warning, I loved it.” Kmags93</p>

<p>In response to “I thought Princeton was snooty and pretentious.”:
“Isn’t that the whole reason for going to Princeton? I think it’s even in their charter that they must be snooty and pretentious.” Schmaltz</p>

<p>“I’ve often thought that if colleges were run by Disney, all tours would end in the gift shop.” Lafalum84</p>

<p>“You would not believe our tour guide. She was wearing a woman’s slip over a pair of sweat pants… She had 3 enormous mats in her hair. I couldn’t tell if they were dread locks that had grown out, or she just never brushed her hair. She said she really had found herself after coming to New College. I could only think of Archie Bunker, “Edith, stifle yourself!”” Reedsmyth</p>

79

<p>Regarding the tour guide at New College, apparently, she found herself, but lost her brush.</p>

80

<p>Apologies in advance for shameless self-congratulating, but I still smile when I think about the clever, quick wit in the “meta” thread (a totally ludacrous and amasingly funny, tongue-in-cheek thread from 2008 which gets resurrected periodically). Mythmom said her kid was a half child of Poseidon. Violadad’s following post included comments about gods and a comment that “size did not matter” to which I responded that he had Venus envy. :smiley: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parent-cafe/501191-meta-thread-save-us-all-time-20.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parent-cafe/501191-meta-thread-save-us-all-time-20.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
