The Compliment Game

Okay, this is a fun game that my fiancé and I were playing last week.  He won that round (but I’ll let him post his winning entry in comments), but I’m sure my friends can come up with some other doozies.

The rules are as follows:

  • Come up with a compliment that is not complimentary.  It could be backhanded, or just an exclamation over something that one should not normally be proud of.
  • Let’s try to keep this at least partially family friendly (like, PG-13).  Bleep out any profanities or vulgarities, if you must use them.
  • Nothing personal here.  By that I mean, unless you’re targeting a public persona, no naming names.  And even then, I’d prefer that we not target public personae.  I’m sure we could keep the “compliment” generic, e.g., For a conservative radio pundit: Congratulations on cutting back on your vicodin… again.

Let’s have some fun!  Just post your compliments in the comments on this page, and feel free to come back and laugh (or howl) at the results.  And vote for your favourites, too!
