This is a great thread. It starts out asking to define class and quickly evolves into flatulence."Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

Classy people don't post on internet messageboards because eventually they devolve into engaging in classless behavior or using classless language or are at the very least sullied by associated with those that do.Originally posted by cowboy View PostI hear people say "that was a really classy thing to do" or "he's a real class act" but I've never heard a concrete definition.
I don't think class has anything to do with money or the way a person dresses - though even I will admit that Larry Bird showing up in jeans and a tee to accept the MVP award probably wasn't the classiest move. Personally, I think class is simply a good combination of self-awareness and consideration but I could be wrong, so I'm interested in y'all's opinion.

The navy blue sweater vest I am wearing over my long-sleeved wine-colored dress shirt is pretty classy. This was my way of masking the fact that i didn't have time to iron the entire shirt this morning.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

Arguably, but you've got to give serious consideration to his line as Mr. Carlson, WKRP's station manager, after the station's promotion of dropping turkeys from a helicopter went awry. Reporting on the scene, Les Nessman cried, "They're hitting the ground like bags of wet cement."Originally posted by Indy Coug View PostBest Gordon Jump line ever.
Mr. Carlson later observed, "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."
Happy Birthday, Gordon Jump.

Doesn't it usually come from behind you? Or do you have a Charlie Weis-esque front ass?Originally posted by byu71 View PostBecause of the old age excuse, I would gladly confess, but it wasn't me. It came from behind us as I recall.If we disagree on something, it's because you're wrong.
