Lucozade Prize

I am thinking of having an occasional Prize in my Blog. Today it is the Lucozade Prize for the most sickly sweet compliment. It is awarded to Jacob (Ben Stiller) in that great film Keeping the Faith (2000) for ‘God was just showing off when he created you. ‘ Second prize goes to George Moore (1823-1892) – “Other men it is said have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough.” Unlikely though it may seem, Homer Simpson comes third with “Marge, you're as pretty as Princess Leia and as smart as Yoda.”
