Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Reading the Wiseacres thread reminded me of my favorite lines, the ones that really did make me laugh out loud. So far, my contenders are:

Boris B, for his observation that “if you have a dog, don’t name it bear. But if you have a bear, by all means name it dog to even things out a bit”

And Ukelele Ike, for:
“Oh, I don’t know; we had five Barksdales in our Kindergarten class.”

(I’m sorry these aren’t verbatim quotes; I tried to use the search engine but-surprisingly!-didn’t locate the actual threads.)

David B. on ‘Flat earth’ for something like:

Phaedrus should win awards for both ‘Best Troll’ and ‘Guy with way too much time on his hands’.

I totally forgot that I ever said that.
I would try to think of my favorite quotes from other posters, but I’m a little distracted, since looking out the window I can see Dog climbing the old maple again, probably looking for bugs. I feed him like a pint of honey every day, and still he knocks down half the trees in my yard!

Neuro Trash Grrl’s quick, witty comebacks never fail to make me literally guffaw!!

I don’t know what you do for a living, Neuro, but if you were writing for sitcoms, some of them might actually be funny! (Sorry, I don’t remember any specific examples, but she is just sharp as a tack!)
