More!
Life is full of sorrow, misery, and suffering and it’s all over any time soon.
Traditions and rituals have been part of human existence since, well, like a long time—I’m no historian.
The real world was just like high school, only worse.
I was so happy that I was finally over.
High school was exclamatory.
Money is needed for a baby’s care because a newborn cannot just find a job.
We spend time talking and texting and shopping without killing each other which is nice for a change.
It gave me the greatest gift of all: desperation for greatness.

That one brought me to tears. Is that for real? The dash and everything? That’s seriously awesome and should get you into college right then and there on that sentence alone.

I think I might embroider ‘Everyone is entitled to their own problems’ on something. Maybe the vomit one too.

Maybe at the clubs _you_ go to.

Right? _Vomit stinks. Even from a pretty girl._. That’s some depth there.

Little bald bastards. (Stolen from amazon reviews for [the book in this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=707692).

“Living life like a butter knife” There’s something in that. Not sure what, but something.

I reproduced it verbatim. Can’t remember where it placed, since we score thousands of these, but I’m sure that one must have gotten some kudos for the awesomeness.

There are some nasty pics of girls vomiting out there. (Not the worst google I have ever done.) I decided to go klassy.

That’s the most mysterious one of all to me. With almost all of these, I can pretty much figure out what the writer is _trying_ to say – with this one I have no clue whatsoever.
