I've been seeing some really great stuff said around here lately. Things that are said really eloquently, things that are totally nuts, things that are freaking hilarious. I think it's time to compile a list of these pearls of the interweb, possibly to be shot into space, possibly to be printed on official MacNN merch (toilet paper, personal lubricant, aftermarket spoilers for the Honda CRX) at a later date.

Maybe some ground rules?:

Journalists are usually given a bit of license to play with people's quotes, with the knowledge that they can get sued if they don't. For the sake of this thread, however, let's not do any [sic] or ....... or [Ed.]. Just grab the quote as it appeared, in the wild.

To start it off...

"Let's see. Nothing too exciting really...I remember having a crush and dating a girl in the 6th grade for a few hours but then I accidentally spilt red Kool-Aid on her white shirt and she never looked my way again. In fact, she had her mother call my Mom to get me in trouble because I ruined her favorite shirt. B-I-T-C-H!"

A quote that should be added to the list.

It would be cool if you mark posts as favorites, and you could see what the overall best posts in the forum would be.

Most of her good ones are gone. She went back and deleted them when she stormed off.

As was to be expected, most people will quote themselves.

Cody's posts do seem to have a air of her loveliness, but it seems they've gotten less of what makes them great.

I always thought Cody Dawg was a guy

Also, iWrite, IIRC, while mostly a Republican, she was going to vote for Kerry, while Cody Dawg is voting for Bush.

CD Hanks in reference to a wdlove post:

"You're too nice a person.

This makes me slightly worried because it's types like you that when you really get mad, people get dismembered."

Yeah, that one hit so close to home it was a bit scary...sometimes I picture WD sharpening knives and then licking them in between posts.
