This is the best one, the one that made it all possible. The greatest comic of all, yet she thought she was being quite serious.


No she didn't. No school sends out acceptances during the Christmas season. Still the best thread on all of DCUM!

Pre-K: It was a balmy spring evening. I was drinking a small gin and tonic and stuffing larks' cheeks with jamon iberico when my butler brought me the letter on a silver tray.

St. Albans: It was cold. I was upstairs having my anus bleached. I snorted a little Bolivian marching powder in celebration.

Yale: I was whipping the new maid a rolled-up copy of Horse and Hounds - there had been an unforgivable incident with a Ming Vase. Weather: overcast, light rain later.

Harvard Law School: the butler found me asleep in the stables after a large dose of ketamine. In my drug-induced fog I could barely take in the good news. I must have slept with half of Mclean in the course of the next week.


Still the greatest.

This was 10 years ago. My son is in 11th grade now.


Such memories. Hopefully you'll update us when his Yale acceptance comes thru. Yawn.



Seriously. Double yawn.

A dozen years later, and IMO this is still the greatest post in the history of DCUM. PP, I hope you are still here.


I was looking for this post today. So hilarious. I hope we're friends, PP


I'd never seen this thread before...truly hilarious!!!



Too soon in admissions season to revive it, my child


Never too soon. This thread should be pinned. Make it happen, Jeff!

Sorry you are poor-- poverty sucks!


I was busy flaunting my wealth on DCUM and trying to make another poster feel bad about their family’s prospects when I heard the mailbox door slam. I quickly closed my laptop, leaving that sad, sad DCUM woman dangling, and ran outside my faux-Italianate Potomac McMansion. As the massive, impressive carved oak doors slammed behind me I almost slipped on the pink granite stairs. There was nothing in the mailbox. But I knew this was the day, because Muffy had just texted about little Madison’s acceptance. So I ran down the street after that sorry excuse for a mailman and grabbed him by the nasty shoilder strap of his mail bag. He found the envelope, but I had to promise him my Cartier love bracelet. Fat chance, that prole’s wife would look horrible in it, not nearly as glam as me.


If your driveway in Potomac is so short that you can hear the mailbox close…are you even rich enough to call yourself middle-class on the Money and Finance forum?

Let me guess: four years you’ll be filing out FAFSA “for merit purposes only.”


Whoosh….the sound of satire going over your head
