Back-handed compliments

[gbaughma]

OK, based on the other thread... this could be a LOT of fun!

Rules: It has to sound like a compliment, but really be an insult.

"There is no way I could underestimate your intelligence" (used on my daughter, as quoted in the other thread)

"You've really motivated me to stay a bachelor, like your father."

"Those eyes! Those lips! Those chin!"

"Wow! What a face! Did you realize you could be the pro-choice poster-child???"

SantaMufasa:

That reminds me of one my sister quotes (I think it may have been from Buffy....)

"Does this sweater make me look fat?"

"No, the fact that you're fat makes you look fat. That sweater just makes you look purple."

A poem from Samuel Hoffenstien

Love Song
Your little hands,
Your little feet,
Your little mouth --
Oh, God, how sweet!

Your little nose,
Your little ears,
Your eyes, that shed
Such little tears!

Your little voice,
So soft and kind;
Your little soul,
Your little mind!

Hrmm. I try not to insult people without a very good reason.
To make a long story short, there is a girl I thought was cute based on the thumbnails you see over MSN. She sent me a link to a page of hers with lots of pictures of her world travels. Must be some sort of social networking site because she had tons of friends.
Saw her pictures.
She is ugly. Bless her heart shes a very polite and nice person, but ugly. Don't know how my imagination extrapolated that far from a thumbnail but it was wrong.

All I could bring myself to say to her was "Wow you have traveled to a lot of places! It must have been awesome to visit them all. You also have a lot of hot friends there too."
I feel like a jerk even though I never stated it. =.=

For some reason, I just had a flashback to Shallow Hal.
