Mumsnet Talk: Quote of the Week - Suggestions Wanted

[AbbyMumsnet]

Hi all,
We thought it would be fun to include a "Quote of the Week" from Mumsnet Talk in our weekly newsletter, as a sort of celebration of all that is LOL funny - if not slightly surreal - and unique about Mumsnet. Please post your suggestions here. (And do try and keep 'em clean )

Fillyjonk on the milk thread.

very good

What about:

"Because you have not told people that we are not going to sue, we have no choice but to sue."

OK that's a paraphrase

"yes yes dinosaure is so right" - from katierocket, on the "let's celebrate mumsnet thread"

I am cutting and pasting KeepingMum's dh's fabulous usage of the Junior Magazine Reception Year magnetic letters:

mum and dad play
see look at this
he was up
my you are big
go in me she said
we like it
I am going to come
yes
they came
Junior is on the way

He didn't quite manage to use all 45 words, but good effort I thought, I couldn't let ds read it though.
Mumsnet challenge to use all 45 words and make a short story

Can I add snowleopards:

"My midwife taught me to hold whole breast in hand and jiggle it about"

Sounds like a strange party trick

I like this one very much :)

try running backwards saying special antifungal incantations

(from nailpolish's dreadful feet thread)

Lact8's stunning thesis that cod types in patois and we should all read her posts in a Jamaican accent has got to feature here sometime

fiofio worrying about the middle classes on the thread 'what do you worry about since you cam eon MN'

Anyone? If nobody comes up with anything then I'll be forced to nick one from earlier... which didn't get used because there wasn't a newsletter last week!
