Hey everyone,
just thought about sharing some of my favorite sayings from the family.

e.g. "get a haircut! you look like a Christhanimum".

I posted more and would love to hear some from your family as well!

here's the link.

You can't fence in time no matter how tight you stretch the wire. (from my novel, pending publication).

1) Who cut your hair, the Council?
2) Mad as a cut snake.
3) I only went to school to eat my lunch.

What gets my goat is politicians saying "I'm going to turn this thing around 360 degrees"!!

Was it Barry Goldwater who said:Whereever there are people out of work, I will show you unemployment". And my all time favourite:

Ex PM John Majors saying: "Whenever I have my back against the wall, I turn around and fight".

Me? I hate cliches. I avoid them like the plague.

Putting food on your family. Now, there's eloquence for ya.

"having said that, let me say this"....polititcian speak or the art of using a lot of words/time to say nothing.

I saw the Amazing Rhythm Aces the other night at a small venue (Sellersville Theatre, PA) and there were about 75 people there so it was easy to converse with the band from any seat in the joint. One guy was having a running dialog with Russell Smith and at times you could see Russell was tiring of the guys alcohol-laced contributions. When he yelled out the name of a band member who hasn't been with them for 10 ten years the third time, Russell looked at him and with a broad smile said, "I knew you'd be here tonight, I just didn't know what you'd look like." The guy grinned like a deer in the headlights and tried to figure out what just happened. Classic.

My Pastor, in the middle of a sermon, went to say ..."in one fell swoop" but it came out..."in one swell foop"...a favorite saying around here that's stuck for years.

I love spoonerisms. They're handy around very small children when you really, really want to swear. By about two and a half or three, that doesn't work either. We have a number of epithets about the Dodgers, us being a family of pigheaded Giants fans (boy do we stink this year....so far. Remember 1951!). thanks tom

From Texas :

Never squat with your spurs on.
Never drink downstream from the herd.

From the new Harry Potter book: She nuttier than squirrel poop.

In the same vein, from the Rockie: "eveyone's downstream from someone else." Not a bad twist on the golden rule, Wyoming style.
