The Chef Boyardee of education

"I know that these are tricky situations. I know that a lot of times teachers and principles are hamstrung by being put in difficult positions by difficult parents, difficult colleagues or difficult students, and there is a certain amount of understanding that needs to be granted. When it comes to the education system, I personally think that there are far too many cooks in the kitchen, including the Chef Boyardee of education, standardized testing. That being said, asking a student to prom is most decidedly not the same as say threatening a teacher, threatening a student or being the reason that metal detectors need to be put in schools."

The Aaron Rodgers of cheeses

"This picky process really pays off – its the only cheese to have won both the Best of Show from the American Cheese Society and U.S. Champion Cheese, basically making it the Aaron Rodgers of cheeses. Throw away your mild cheddar and make your next grilled cheese with this stuff – you’ll never go back."

The Mark Twain of ancient science

"It was probably Ptolemy. Ptolemy is like the Mark Twain of ancient science. If you have a really good quote you can't place, you just attribute it to Mark Twain, who has so many apocryphal quotes attributed to him that one more won't hurt."
