They are all brilliant, especially how some of them just don't get it but my personal favourite is the "overpower intelligence" one. Fantastic how in one sentence Cory manages to completely contradict the meaning of said sentence. And then confirms it in another. :bwl:

You can't be old, no-one who is on this forum can be old, I refuse to believe that anyone who chooses to discuss films online whilst trying to gain free tickets to movies is old. They may have a birth date some time in the past, their bodies may now be starting to betray them, but their minds will remain young and cool forever :D

I concur! o/ :cool:
