Noteworthy Comment – IOTW Report

Noteworthy Comment

I think in addition to thumbing up your funny, pithy, insightful and truthful comments, we should pull a quote now and then and throw it out there on social media.

Alert me to a quip or comment that you feel is noteworthy. Email me at bigfurhat.mail@gmail.com. Put NOTEWORTHY in the subject line. Link me to the post where the comment appeared.

Make them on the short side. Make sure they don’t require a lot of context to understand.

Yes you can nominate yourself. (No one will know.)

Please, no hard feelings if a quote doesn’t get spotlighted. I’m a fickle frig.

  1. In all honesty, it was something that WMAL radio’s Chris Plante said a while back.
    I thought it was brilliant.

    If you aren’t in the DC area, you can always download the iHeartRadio app and listen from 9 to noon eastern.
    He’s smart and hilarious. One of us.

    He was spot on with that comment.

  2. PHenry-

    He said it… you remembered it. Wrote it.
    I saw it.
    Re-quoted it.

    Now it belongs to the ether, courtesy of iOTW.

    It’s the same way Michael Savage gets credit for coining “occasional cortex”
    😉

  3. You know, people have ben emailing me a lot saying “didn’t you make up occasional cortex”?

    My answer is, if someone thought of it prior to me publishing it, so be it. But I know I didn’t see it anywhere before.
    Truth is, you know how it came to be?
    It was a typo on Reason Magazine.

    In a lengthy paragraph, where they wrote Cortez a few times, one of them had a typo that said Cortex.

    This was a very long time ago.

  4. @Fur – Local Phoenix radio station KFLI has an advertiser, Bill’s Pest & Termite Control.”

    Bill says “occasional cortex” in his recent ad (they’re all creative, funny and lean right – kind of like everything here).

    I asked his inspector to ask Bill where he got that from. Haven’t heard back, yet. I thought maybe he’s a iotwReport reader.

  5. Hell’s bells! *I* liked the once-a-week reader music selections.

    I learned a lot about the people here and was also introduced to some interesting stuff, I was unlikely to ever find on my own. …..Lady in Red

    PS: It was a lot of work, I suppose. ….sigh.

  6. Also, do you know how many times I ‘thought of something” and then googled it to find that it was already thought of?
    100s.

    it’s a big world out there.
    Imagine how Tesla felt, men who did important things, not just “creating memes.” lol

  7. I said my favorite BFHism to my son-in-law at the circus. A female trapeze artist was ascending the ladder in front of us to perform her routine. I explained, “If her costume gets any smaller we’ll be looking at her chocolate starfish.” It left laughing him in tears.
