My idea here is to have a repository for comments that you’ve seen people make that just, well, aren’t quite the product of dealing with a full deck.
The one that finally made me start this thread is this:
(Be careful not to name your source if it’s another message board, as mine is, or a blog, to avoid an interboard war or something similar breaking out.)
I didn’t hear this but read it on a bathroom wall. It has since become my mantra:
“I feel more like I do now, than I did when I got here.”
Credited to President Eisenhower: “Things are more like they are now than they’ve ever been before.”
And they say that man wasn’t an intellectual!
From my coworker, Daniel, telling us about how someone was bullshitted:
“He swallowed it fish, hook, and anchor.”
“I’ve got an excellent taste. I only like really tasteful things.”
“It’s really windy today, it must be at least Force Eight on the Reuter scale!”
Why yes, I did point out that it’s not the Reuter scale, it’s the Richter scale - and that’s earthquakes…

An airhead made yet another, utterly asinine play. Everyone let him have it good naturedly (in the CHAT window), telling him what a dumbass poker player he is, and he countered:
“I really know this game. I just don’t know what beats what.”

I think he meant naked, I’m still deciphering.
Are gaffes by celebs and wannabe’s ok, even if we didn’t see or hear them?

“The word “genius” isn’t applicable in football. A genius is a guy like
Norman Einstein,”
Joe Theisman, NFL football quarterback & sports analyst.
Or Leonardo Da Simpson
Be fair to Theismann - he had a high school classmate named Norman Einstein who got straight A’s and all the rest of the package. Now a doctor, Norm Einstein was reportedly quite gratified at his brief moment of fame.
All the best example I have are from George Bush.
I have no animosity towards Joe T. As a matter of fact, I usually enjoy his Sunday night NFL color casting.
How about a Dan Quayle quote -
"I love California. I practically grew up in Phoenix."And this thread was made for this quote:
“Tribal sovereignty means just that; it’s sovereign. You’re a – you’ve been given sovereignty, and you’re viewed as a sovereign entity.”
Another Brooke Shields quote: “I didn’t know Chicago was on an ocean!”
