Since you’re not making that thread, any chance we could get a collection of things Mama Snarf said?
1. As Mama Snarf used to tell me, "Snarf, you only open your mouth to change feet. Remember it's better to keep yer trap shut and have people think you couldn't even get a job as a speed bump, than to open your pie hole and remove all doubt. Now get yer Mama some of her gin and tonics and vodka sodas, hold the tonic and the soda."
2. Because as Mama Snarf always used to tell me, "Snarf, life ain't fair, so quit yer whinin' already. Jus' means that you need to do unto others before they do unto you. Now, get yer Mama a four-pack of that vintage Four Loko so she can get the party started."
3. Mama Snarf always said, "Life is like a box of analogies."
4. As Mama Snarf always told me, "Boy, if you can't be a part of the solution, become a part of the problem. Now, get your mama her brandy and her laudanum."
5. As Mama Snarf always told me, "If you got nothin' nice to say 'bout someone, say nothin' and shiv 'em in the back. Remember, if you're old enough to whine, you're old enough to drink wine until you shut yer piehole."
6. To quote my mama, "Snarf, you're good enough, you're smart enough, and doggone it, people ... well, they almost tolerate you."
7.
I have a cocaine problem; two nostrils, and only one straw.
-Mama Snarf, explaining why she's no longer allowed to attend Little League games.
8.
I have always found barleywine to be a bit odd; it refuses to be gin.
-Snarf's Mom.
9.
Yo mama so classless, I bet she believes she's a Marxist utopia.
-My overeducated classmate.
10. Or, as Mama Snarf used to tell me, "Snarf, life is tough alright, but it's a whole lot tougher if you are stupid. Now shut yer piehole and get yer Mama some laudanum and a few bottles of Night Train at the packie."
11.
When I was a wee little Snarfling, accompanying Mama Snarf on one of her periodic "drinking around the world" jaunts, we found ourselves in Ireland ... or, as I was told, land of Whiskey, Guinness and Whiskey.
12.
There's nothing as satisfying as a "No."
-Mama Snarf, repeatedly.
13. My parents were amazing. Believed in experiential learning. For example, to teach me how to swim, they just tossed me in the lake. Honestly wasn't that hard, either, once I got out of the bag.
14. As Mama Snarf always told me, "Snarf, hear me now and believe me later. Never put off until tomorrow what you can put off until next month. Now give me some of those electricity bills so I can use them as rolling papers."
15. As Mama Snarf used to tell me, "Snarf, the whole point of the fancy book learnin' and getting all cultured up isn't so that you can feel better 'bout yerself. It's so you can make other people feel worse 'bout their choices. Remember you this- you don't have to rise high, if others fall down low. Now, go get yer mama another case of Mad Dog and some Cool Colt 45 'cuz they pair nicely with the oak tones of these here Parliaments."
16. As Mama Snarf used to tell me, "Snarf, good taste shouldn't be your excuse for living such a bad life. Now, get mama her scotch and an eightball."
17. As Mama Snarf always used to tell me, "Snarf, if you can't be a part of the solution, you need to be a part of the problem. Just remember that no matter how bad you feel on the inside 'cuz of what you've been up to, smile, so girls will like you and invite you to parties. Now, get yer Mama some of that Night Train to wash down the nasty taste of this here crank."
18. As Mama Snarf used to tell me, "Snarf, the real secret in life is honesty, kindness, and empathy to other people. And if you can fake that, you've got it made. Now, get yer Mama a case of the Mad Dog and a fire extinguisher for the flaming 151 shots."
19.
It is better to be feared than loved.
-Mama Snarf, definitely.
20. As Mama Snarf always told me, "Snarf, you're a star. A real star! Distant and dying. Now, get Mama some of that Wild Turkey and some 'ludes."
21. Well, as my Mama Snarf told me when we took a vacation to Florida, "Just look around you boy. Look at everyone swelterin' and sufferin' here in Florida. Jus' remember ... it's not the heat, it's the stupidity. Now get yer Mama some of that RC Cola to chase down this handle of Captain Morgans."
22. As Mama Snarf once told me, "If God wanted us to camp, She wouldn't have invented hotels. Now quit your sniveling about me not signing that permission slip for a field trip, and get yer Mama some of the ol' sticky icky to chase down the taste of this Malört."
23.
Schadenfreude is the best freude.
-Mama Snarf, definitely.
24. I would read the books, but unfortunately, I am illiterate. That's what Mama Snarf always told me. "Snarf, you listen up and you listen good. You're illegitimate. Now get yer Mama some of that Boone's farm and a handle of tequila - not the fancy kind, but one in the plastic - to wash it down with." Oh .... never mind.
25. What was it that Mama Snarf always used to say to me? "Snarf, you illegitimate halfwit. Get yer Mama her Night Train and a little of that there laudnum so she can enjoy her afternoon stories!"
26. If you get your BAC high enough, it will kill the sickness. Mama Snarf was always passin' down the folk wisdom to me.
27. "I do d8 slashing, and an additional 5d8 emotional. It's the Rapier of Mama Snarf."
28. As Mama Snarf always used to tell me, "Snarf, you snivelin' little nigmenog, let me explain to you sumpin' you won't find in any fancy book learnin'. You can tell that reality is lyin' to you because its lips are movin'. Now hush yer wails and get yer mama a few handles of the good stuff, you know, the kind they put in the fancy plastic."
29. As Mama Snarf always used to tell me, "Snarf, quit yer pie-eyed optimism. What, you think that bein' in the gutter means ya ain't got no where to go but up? Well let me learn ya sumpin'. Gutters got storm drains, filled with creepy clowns. And that's not even the worst thing that can happen to ya. Because if you don't get yer Mama her carton of Parliaments and a few cases of Natty Light? Eff around and find out."
