Subject: BS: Resuscitate the Dead Cliche From: VirginiaTam Date: 01 Mar 09 - 03:10 PM This little game I used to play on long car journeys with my kids. Well they were preteens and teens when we played. It is called Resuscitate the Dead Cliche. Anybody out there want to play? Guess the cliche(s). Or add your own and let us guess. Never mind whether or no they are worthy of reviving Can you tell from which cliche, I am deriving when I say that Lady Luck and I are going set up a sidewalk kiosk dispensing citrus refreshment He whacks a circuitous path at the rhododendron A turkey in the oven is more nourishing than a skeet shoot It is highly inadvisable that one should embark upon a career in either mooching or loansharking A fine point BIC full of black ink beats the hell out of a Remington Be careful! Mr. Ed might bite you on the nose The medicine has some bugs in it What does a sewing machine have to do with a clock anyway Loose change in a ceramic oinker is just as good as a paycheck If you dropped the homogenised don't seek counselling This is the maximum pressure threshold for a biscuit The death penalty was rather harsh punishment for Moggie's interest That's just the sabertooth's mouthing off decreased by Darwinian domestication Continuity was buggered for want of a better metal ring What could be less complicated than fruit filled pastry External to cubic cogitation It's a feline nightie |

Subject: RE: BS: Resuscitate the Dead Cliche From: Ebbie Date: 01 Mar 09 - 03:18 PM Lady Luck and I are going set up a sidewalk kiosk dispensing citrus refreshment: When you're given a lemon, make lemonade. A turkey in the oven is more nourishing than a skeet shoot: A bird in the hand is better than a bird in the bush (?) A fine point BIC full of black ink beats the hell out of a Remington: The pen is mightier than the sword (?) Be careful! Mr. Ed might bite you on the nose: Don't look a gift horse in the mouth The medicine has some bugs in it: Always a fly in the ointment Loose change in a ceramic oinker is just as good as a paycheck: A penny saved is a penny earned (?) urned lol If you dropped the homogenised don't seek counselling: Don't sweat the small stuff. Or Don't cry over spilt milk Continuity was buggered for want of a better metal ring: For want of a nail the horse was lost (?) It's a feline nightie: It's the cat's pajamas |

Subject: RE: BS: Resuscitate the Dead Cliche From: GUEST,heric Date: 01 Mar 09 - 04:18 PM That was mighty impressive for an avowed and unrepentant literalist, Ebbie. "Continuity was buggered for want of a better metal ring" What goes up must come down. |

Subject: RE: BS: Resuscitate the Dead Cliche From: Liz the Squeak Date: 02 Mar 09 - 03:16 AM This is the maximum pressure threshold for a biscuit = the way the cookie crumbles. The death penalty was rather harsh punishment for Moggie's interest = curiosity killed the cat. Alternative methods for defuzzing a moggie (or tabby) = more than one way to skin a cat. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Resuscitate the Dead Cliche From: VirginiaTam Date: 03 Mar 09 - 02:19 AM I guess this game isn't as much fun when you have the liberty to think on your seat as it is F2F where you have to think on your feet. |

Subject: RE: BS: Resuscitate the Dead Cliche From: Amos Date: 04 Mar 09 - 01:23 PM Ocular relationships are permissible between HRM and felix domesticus. Competitive transmission-time scenarios may be taken advantage of by reduced rates of velocity if accompanied by constant torque and load adjustments resulting in non-variable rates of change. |

Subject: RE: BS: Resuscitate the Dead Cliche From: Liz the Squeak Date: 05 Mar 09 - 02:47 PM Don't count your chickens until they have hatched. Similarly... Refrain from placing your maximum allowance of ovum in a singular container fabricated from woven reed or Salix Alba. LTS |
