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 )

Just snorted tea across my keyboard - Sobernow, I love you.

Any suggestions for this week - need them ASAP as writing the newsletter today.

deffo sobernow

she comes out with some blinders and should be recognised

I also liked expats

'she's as clever as a box of rocks'

Agree, it is a fantastic quote... but it is from last week. I need crackers since last Wednesday. Also - if you can link to the original thread you'll make my life a million times easier and I will be pathetically grateful.

Come on ladies, your votes are needed...

Both of these are fab -

Cappucino requesting an emoticon: "to sum up that feeling of surprise, helplessness and terrible satisfaction felt when watching a piece of fuzzy felt going up the hoover"

Sobernow, talking about Will Self on the CultureVultures board: "If I had a gun, two bullets and was in a room with him and Robson Green, I'd shoot myself twice. "

But on balance I think Sobernow's

Oh, Mrs Badger, quoting Don Marquis:

have just idly rummaged for other Don Marquis stuff on Project Gutenburg and found this

I visited one night, of late,
Thoughts Underworld, the Brainstorm Slum,
The land of Futile Piffledom;
A salon weird where congregate
Freak, Nut and Bug and Psychic Bum.

he was an MNer!

LadyTamba has got to be in with a shout with her latest....

'Well, mommys have little eggs and when the daddy waters them they grow...'

KatieRocket, you've obviously not been reading your newsletter or you'd have seen Cap's quote make it as our first quote of the week. Stay behind after school. :)

"My mum had made nibbles and told me to put some make up on. Next minute i'm squashed up on the settee with one of her friends simpleton sons gawping at me asking if i like Pork Pies."

i ssecond the fairy fly one - i rarely really laugh out loud - but that really did make me piss

Well, in the end Tamba made it to poll position - but for a different part of the same post! See \link{http://www.mumsnet.com/incase\here} for an abbreviated version of the newsletter, complete with link to Tamba's moment of glory.

We all have examples of Bad Parenting but that doesn't make us bad parents. Parents having a Bad Day maybe but not bad parents.
