<p>“I think it’s time for Jack & Diet Coke”.</p>

<p><<sorry, jack=“” is=“” way=“” to=“” snobby,=“” anyone=“” from=“” booger-den=“” holler=“” got=“” some=“” grain?=“”>></sorry,></p>

<p>What if we called it “JD?” Ya know…lots of hicks go by their initials.</p>

163

<p>my prediction…this thread ain’t makin it to 500 posts - 250 MAYBE.</p>

<p>OP you better do not listen to these riff raffs here, they are silly and I MEAN IT. But Princeton, o.k.: not so good now, snobs all gone now. Full of sissy homo boys, not good for any fine daughters to hob nob, no way. Stanford: full of pot heads, you do not go there. MIT: full of GEEKS and I am not kidding!!! Daughter marry those Geeks, o.k., you will be SORRY for ugly geek boy grand kid and I am not kidding, you see what I mean? We snobs like: WARREN WILSON COLLEGE, fine old school for BEST FAMILIES. Even Harvard Obama cannot get in there. But that school it is JUST RIGHT for fine ladies. You go to visit Asheville NC, then o.k. you will see. Plenty of good snobs to hob nob and NOT TOO LATE STILL!!! If you got question, just you PM me now and we can hob nob.</p>

165

<p>Just when I think I’ve seen it all another OP like this one comes along. This is so unbelievable that I truly don’t believe it. A mom who says her kid is down to earth but she wants her to be a snob? Give me a break. I can think of a couple of other future MIT students to introduce this young lady to:)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>“too down to earth”.</p>

167

<p>Kat: the beaver supper story made me snort my corn likker out my nose thereby ruining my attempt at snobbery.</p>

<p>geek_mom, you MAY clutch at my elbow but watch out for the residue of Wal-Mart sunless tanner, if it comes off on your hands it’ll make your palms orange.</p>

168

<p>

owlice… Switch to vodka, and she won’t smell you coming. Makes it easier to sneak up on 'er. ;)</p>

169

<p>

Jamiecakes, a fake tan??? From a bah-tul?!?? :eek: I am shocked, SHOCKED! And I’m SO changing my location. You, a poseur? My Gawd. That’s it, I’m outta here right now!</p>

<p>katwkittens, I am in love with your son (post #8)! The paperclip cufflink substitute is what really won my heart. He and S1 could be best friends (if S1 had any chance of making it to Princeton!)</p>

171

<p>Which he totally WON’T NYMom because he is clearly inferior. I can see it from here. </p>

<p>I am sure they were gold plated paperclips though. </p>

<p>Sometimes snobby people slum it for the fun of it. It’s fun to PLAY POOR.</p>

172

<p>So this might be the deal breaker.</p>

<p>One of those really fancy eatin’ houses (not Your House, or Our House, or Their House or Bo Jangles-boy’s favorite) but REALLY fancy just down the street from pton, right next to the Walmart, a Hooters!!!</p>

<p>All the hot wings a body can eat, and son can eat! He goes there for the wings. But has to be a special ocassion, like when Jr is on the tee vee. Cuz Sunday is race day.</p>

<p>I have tee shirt from there. Not pton but from Hooters in pton. Even have the menu our waitress signed for son.</p>

<p>Nice. Real nice.</p>

<p>So for the real in the know snobs, have to have a Hooters real close.</p>

<p>Kat</p>

173

<p>Hooters?
That reminds me of summertime when I wear my lownecked tank and all the toddlers at the park were giving me the eye.
;)</p>

174

<p>If this is POIH’s daughter, she went pretty far in the Intel competition, right? She wants to go to MIT, but her mother wants her to major in social-climbing? My sympathies to the daughter. She is probably tearing her hair out.</p>

<p>Jamiecakes, my son believes that people who have dangerous, tedious, low-prestige jobs should make higher salaries than those who have pleasant, interesting, prestigious jobs. He believes that inheritances should be taxed at confiscatory rates. He is not “snob” material (and does not have the grades for Princeton, or anything close!)</p>

175

<p>NYMom…</p>

<p>Clearly NOT snob material. Maybe he could join my son in the “yes, I am practically a socialist” club.</p>

<p>He isn’t interested in the climbing the social ladder, but he is kinda interested in having one of those ladders that travels around the room on a rail so you can get your books off the high shelves of your private library. I tell him very few true socialists have extensive private libraries but the public library is a good alternative!</p>

<p>Gee, some of us had to work today and missed out on the original fun.<br>
OTOH, I got to laugh faster when I finally hit this thread!</p>

178

<p>I notice we haven’t heard from the OP in several pages. Do you think we may have offended her? Perhaps our kind of snobbery is not the kind she is seeking.</p>

179

<p>Here is a countdown to the best fit for OP:
<a href=“http://premium.usnews.com/college/national-economic-diversity-among-top-ranked-schools[/url]”>http://premium.usnews.com/college/national-economic-diversity-among-top-ranked-schools&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I’m sure she can manage to keep that 8% riffraff at bay.</p>

180

<p>This has been an even better read than the thread started by the woman who was so mortally ashamed at the realization that her daughter was (shudder) only average. My advice to both: get over yourselves and get a life (well, that would be two lives I suppose). Seriously, this OP doesn’t seem to get the distinction between wanting to better oneself by one’s own abilities and efforts (good) and social-climbing with the objective of putting oneself in the position of being able to look down on someone else (bad – at least an unworthy objective in my book). </p>

<p>Gosh, this person didn’t even get into the importance of superficial appearances: I certainly hope her D is good-looking enough to mingle with these highly-esteemed snobs. Surely that’s as importance as their cultural and intellectual spheres. </p>

<p>I’m going to just content myself with my own unpretentious D with her metal music, black fingernail polish, beanie babies and sparkling smile. And when she’s away at school next year, I’ll find one of you fine folks to watch baseball with and toss back margaritas.</p>
