Best Compliments You've Received?

10 years ago

"I wish I could make you laugh like that more often. You're beautiful all the time, but when you smile like that, I swear my world stops."

I really liked that.

I get complimented, but it just means that they are nice people.

A great insult, that hits me out of left field, I consider the best compliment.

The best compliment I've ever heard was a beautiful woman, turning me down on a date. She said, "You have qualities that I find very attractive...in other men"

It was the perfectly structured way to turn a man down. It made my day.

Claude is very popular with certain types of ladies, they are always sending him love notes... which prompted him to learn braille

In order to be the Anti-Claude you must check to see if the secret combination of numbers and letters are in the form of a birthmark, hidden under your hair on your scalp. Which in Claude's case would be 1800 TRANNY

David Beroff 10 years ago

I don't know about the best compliment, but as far as most influential....

I had been working in a tech support role for four years, knowing that I had to transition from traditional employment back to self-employment, but I was struggling to find a business model that would actually, y'know, pay the bills. Over the years, a number of completely different customers made a point of telling me, with only slight variations, "Wow, David! You have a really great voice. You should really consider pursuing some sort of career with that!"

I'll be very honest: While I might've agreed with the first part, I had never thought about actually earning a living this way, because I had pretty much assumed that the voice talent careers followed the pattern of professional sports, where there is a tiny group of very well-known and talented people who earn extremely good livings... and then there's everyone else, who don't. I didn't want to chase a very-low-probability dream.

Finally, after hearing the compliment for the umpteenth time, I figured, what the hey; it certainly couldn't hurt to at least try and test the waters. So I hung up a very simple shingle at Upwork (at the time oDesk) in October, started to build a voiceover business of sorts, and eventually quit my job in April. I still have a way to go before I'm making "fantastic" money, but for the moment, I'm able to pursue a few different self-employment avenues, plant seeds, diversify income, and, y'know, pay the bills.

When I was in college I was having domestic problems and had a 28 credit semester with all major reading and writing courses my last semester. My Linguistics prof told me that my powers of concentration and focus were phenomenal and that it was unbelievable how I was able to actually do quality work on top of the bs going on at home. I've always remembered that one.

Funny - when I look back at it, I just call it a streak of bizarre stupidity. I slept 4 hours a night max for 4 months and pulled a lot of all nighters. I couldn't do it now, but I was young and energetic. I pulled several 21credit hour semesters. My BA took me 3 years. I was in a hurry, what can I say? LMAO. After I graduated, I slept for about a month straight and did almost nothing else.

Wonderful. I'm just sitting here...minding my own business.

And Riffle insults me, for no reason...

And Big Frank (Named after the world's largest hot dog), is now going to sue me for non-payment.

Frank just reminded me...what would it be like having Frank as a brother?

To me, Frank would be the inspiration, that would drive me to great accomplishments. The intellectual equal that I could bounce ideas off of, sharpening my mental ax....honing my wit....inspiring me.

And to Frank, I would be...spare parts.

Frank reminds me of the man I could have been.

Riffle reminds me of the man I was.....before I discovered girls.

As children, Frank and Claude were both very close, some people said they were joined at the hip, that's because they were. They were born twins but Claude was joined to Franks hip facing backwards (which amused Frank when he got wind). Claude did not fully grow and remained a baby until he was separated from Frank at the age of ten. After that, Claude grew in leaps and bounds going through many different sized leotards.

Claude idolized his brother. When Frank entered the acting profession aged 16, Claude wanted to do that too. Unfortunately there careers were to diverge as Claude entered a mental institution. This led to his crazy occupation as door to door undertaker. Not having much success at that he finally realized that he should be selling something that people might buy more often

Frank in the meantime went on to star in many stage plays, tv baby powder commercials and bit parts as a horse in bonanza. Frank narrowly missed getting a lead role in Woody Allen's, Paul Blart, Mall Cop 2.

Actually more like Henny Youngman, circa 1950. Could have been Bob Hope on a WW2 USO tour. Not sure, which. Could have been Groucho or even W.C. Fields. Music-wise, it was The Bellamy Brothers.

Cheers. - Frank

P.S. Yeah - I get it - I'm old.

Once again - as always, I am 100% correct. lol

Says Bellamy, "I have to give credit for that line to Groucho Marx. That's going way back. Of course you've heard of the Marx Brothers. Groucho used to have a show on TV when we were growing up - which I hate to even admit how long ago that was - but he had a show called You Bet Your Life, and he'd have guests on, and different quiz questions. And Groucho smoked a cigar - that tells you how long ago it was, he smoked cigars on a TV show. He'd use that line occasionally, he'd say, 'If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?' and shake his cigar and kind of raise his eyebrows. So we had heard that line growing up, and our family always had a weird southern sense of humor, and they'd use that line around a lot. So it just came one day that it'd be a great song title."

That line is in one of his movies, too. I'm thinking it was Horse Feathers, but don't remember for sure. I remember the line, though. Groucho is one of my favs.

OK, I like a good joke, just like the next guy. But don't you three think you are carrying this a little too far? Sure, I'm overweight....but obviously I have self image problems, and low self esteem.

Honestly, I thought we were all friends. It saddens me to find out that I'm not considered one of you.

I wish I knew what I did to cause such hostility toward me. I admit that I'm overweight. But I overeat to try to fill the hole that is in my heart, from not having friends. Sure, we all engaged in a little friendly ribbing. But making fun of my appearance, just hurts a little too much.

I've seen more cleverly devised ruses on episodes of Punky Brewster.

Yes. That did occur to me. I thought about it, laughed about it and then forgot about it.

Feelings aren't something to be toyed with.

My shrink tell me that quite often. And yet, somehow, I still enjoy bringing her to tears.

I have two that keeps driving me nuts,

"If I had not known my husband, you won't be able to get ride of me."

Then another " You made me fall madly in love when on our first date, you where not so passionate about making love. That night I could not sleep. I felt some sort of betrayal...as if I had loss something."

Once, I got a compliment I reminded a certain person of Ron Swanson, tv character from the show Parks And Rec.

It was kinda cool

That would be kinda cool. Very funny actor. Reminds me of a Summer when I had about five different incidents of
people thinking I looked like "JB", the lead singer of Widespread Panic. One time I heard someone
say as their group walked by, "Naw, if it were him, his shirt would be untucked." LOL I should tell JB
that if he wants to go incognito, all he has to do is tuck his shirt in.

In case you're one of the few (like me) who has not watched Parks and Rec:

To be honest, I get uncomfortable, embarrassed, and even suspicious when I receive lavish praise. As others point out, sometimes it is given out way too easily.

By the way, bizgrower, you are a genius!

I have gotten quite used to it over the decades. Having all of those floral bouquets hurled at you does not become less disconcerting over time, though.

  Sorry, what were you saying? I was thinking about myself.
  
  People call me a narcissist. But if it isn't something I've said, it can't be that important.

  For most narcissists that would be heavenly, but how the hell can you endure that?
  
  People call me a narcissist.
  
  After they run thru the entire gamut of expletives.
  
  But if it isn't something I've said, it can't be that important.
  
  Trust me. If you've said it, it's not important to anyone but you and you're iffy on it, too.

As long as they are throwing very carefully selected, 'past-their-prime' vegetables worth of my standing, there is no problem.
