Today’s Style Invitational was simple, yet amusing: entrants were asked to take an inspirational statement, and express it with cynicism. Some of my favorites:
Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability. (Donna Lewis, Vienna)
Dare to dream the impossible. I mean, why not? Dreaming doesn’t take any effort. (Beth Morgan, Palo Alto, Calif.)
Each dawn brings us a fresh start, because we never freakin’ learn, do we? (Tom Witte, Montgomery Village)
You’ve got to kiss a lot of frogs before you find the prince. But he probably isn’t going to be interested in some frog-kisser. (Amanda Richards, Palatine, Ill.)
True beauty is on the inside, where no one will ever see it. (David Iscoe, Washington)
You can run but you can’t hide, except apparently along the Afghan-Pakistani border. (Bob Wallace, Reston)
The early bird gets the worm. Of course, you can also get a worm by drinking a whole bottle of tequila. (Ben Schwalb, Severna Park)
