Message Board Quotables: 8/27/2007

Monday, August 27th, 2007

I think this is going to become a weekly thing.

This week’s quotes come to you from the Newsday message board discussion for a story detailing 4 DWI arrests in 12 hours.

Post 15

That’s why I drink light beer before I drive. The dumb people drink regular beer and get in accidents.

Although, to be fair, the post author is listed as “Paris Hilton.”

Post 16 completely misses the point.

what, again?
build another prison let the overcrowding begin
make all the laws you want you won’t stop people from driving drunk

Paris Hilton responds to a critic in post 39

It’s not the beer (light or regular)that gets you drunk, it’s the alcohol (ethanol) in the beer or wine or whiskey or white lightning that gets a person drunk.

What are you talking about?
The beer is lighter so it has less alcohol you dummy.
Now, has anyone seen my dog?

Post 38, and its compliment, post 47

Any of them volunteer fire fighters?

… because their articles include links to message board threads, and you don’t have to register to post in them. This leads to brilliant, insightful responses from the masses.

And finally, some gems.

Post 38

All of you morons who bemoan the lawsuit would probably be the first ones lining up in front of a lawyer’s office if it happened to you and/or yours. Why do you think God invented insurance? People don’t expect to get hurt at an AMUSEMENT PARK.

Post 43 (I like this one because I was thinking the same thing)

I was going to sue them for still having the same crappy roller coaster for over thirty years now.

Oh come on, if it were your kid, you’d sue too. I would sue for enough to pay for his college education and then some.

Good luck to that family. I hope the lawsuit closes the place down.

Don’t assume everybody is a hypocrite like you may or may not be

Post 139 (10-year-olds posting on a newspaper’s message board about serious topics is like me doing a stand-up comedy act; the subject is so out of place and outclassed, it’s hard not to laugh at the futile attempt.)
