Best compliment you've ever been given

[Skipbidder]

Inscribed on a book given to me as a gift:

"Dear __________
You probably don't have much reading time, but save this book. It's about the balance between hope and despair. This is the balance that you helped us walk while you saved ____'s life.
Good luck and fondest thoughts--
_____ and _____."

What book was it?

[Skipbidder]

A Fine Balance, by Rohinton Mistry

Very good book.

this degenerated into a 'do you have a big dick?' poll even quicker than i thought it would

I was afraid of that even as I was writing it.

Still got a few interesting responses so far, though.

I'm also getting the impression that, in general, we (as in, all of humanity) don't compliment one another nearly enough. It's hard for me to come up with a lot of memorable ones in my own life.

But that thought may be way too deep for OOT.

well i would think that if a big dick complement is the best you've ever received, it probably means your dick isn't that big anyway. i mean, if you tell tom hanks he's a great actor, he'll say 'gee thanks'. ditto telling vonnegut he's your favorite author, or telling a hot girl she's hot, whatever. it's certainly a complement, but i think people usually aren't going to go for a gigantic and obvious strength as the thing they think is their favorite. it would be more like telling tom hanks that you hope you can be as good of a father as him when you have kids, or that the hot girl is the most trustworthy person you've ever known, etc.

now write a sonnet about the peerless beauty of an average looking girl, and you've perhaps produced the best complement she's ever had.

so congrats on the shitty thread and the perhaps-slightly-bigger-than-average dicks, you fags.

Great post. At least until the last sentence. Still a way above average post, though.

pretty well said, but hearing something like "I don't think that's going to go in" has a certain ring to it, right?

most of us are too young to get a parenting one that is probably most fulfilling.

I've had a few people tell me I was the funniest person they'd ever met. It's funny cause it's true. Holla!
