  • "I don't have time for superficial friends. I suppose if you're really lonely you can call a superficial friend, but otherwise, what's the point?"
    — Courteney Cox

    She and her superficial Friends got $600,000 an episode. Must be nice.

    Kgun5 on 2013-04-03 15:24:01
    I would take $.05 per cryptogram.

    montyb on 2013-12-29 06:02:31
    At least my Cryptogram friends are not superficial.

    Barnabas on 2015-02-10 12:05:22
    There's nothing superficial about me, Monty. I'm just ficial.

      OK: Amanda, Revenge is always the weak pleasure of a little and narrow mind. Happy now, abra?

      Oh, I thought it was funny. ) I was just being silly. I don't think Amanda got it, but I'm happy.

      • "The highest panegyric, therefore, that private virtue can receive, is the praise of servants. "

        Haha! "panegyric" didn't get me this time! Last time I solved it, I wasted a lot of time putting in other letters! Sorry, just had to praise myself there.

        abra on 2015-09-19 09:07:59
        I'm not sure if I've done this one before, but I guessed right on panegyric. Yea!

        LLapp on 2015-09-26 19:04:25
        I'll have to get myself some servants so they can tell me how great I am.

        abra on 2015-11-06 11:40:33
        If I had servants, I'm sure they would think I was a lovely person, and lavish lots of that panegyricky stuff on me. ) I'd probably do most of their work for them, because I'd want them to like me.

            I think it's sinful to waste the nutritious peels of potatoes.

            montyb on 2012-07-23 01:10:44
            That's why I only frequent fast food places that make french fries from unpeeled potatoes.

            That the potato is not really real and that you are not really peeling it.

                I wasn't going to ask, but since LLapp had a question, there's something I don't understand either, namely: Who is Liz? Is that debzhaus' first name? Or am I missing something?

                Comment


                • Debzhaus real name I'm certain is Deb. The quote referred to a sketch on 30 Rock with Buzz Aldrin and Liz Lemon (played by Tina Fey). LLapp was merely referring to she didn't understand the quote. Me either until I googled the conversation.

                    Oddcouple, thank you for finally explaining that one! Of course I already knew who Buzz Aldrin was. It was Liz I didn't know, and I did not recognize the "30 Rock" context, but I decided to let it go.

                    • Llapp, glad I could elucidate. And I'm glad pj48 asked the question so that I could help you. Others have taught me so much over the past three years. One of the things I love so much about this site, the opportunity to learn from those quoted and from other solvers.
