Subject: RE: BS: Great phrases you know and use. From: Don Firth Date: 13 Dec 04 - 09:42 PM Never squat with your spurs on. —Old cowboy saying It's so cold they had to euthanize a whole bunch of brass monkeys. —Dick Cavett "Are you lost, daddy?" I arsked tenderly. "Shut up!" he explained. —The Young Immigrants by Ring Lardner Back in the Fifties and Sixties, I had a friend who wasn't a singer himself (essentially tone-deaf), but he loved folk music His living room was available just about every weekend for songfests, and we had some great ones there. Anyway, he was of the Jewish persuasion, and he had a couple of quotes written in Hebrew, framed and hung on his living room wall. One evening I asked him what they said, and he translated them for me. If I am not for myself, then who am I?Don Firth |

Subject: RE: BS: Great phrases you know and use. From: GUEST,Ron Davies Date: 14 Dec 04 - 08:01 AM Remarks in foreign languages ( other than one the caller may know) are always good for telemarketers and others who don't know your voice and you would rather not talk to. My current favorite is "Kein Anschluss unter dieser Nummer"--which actually, used to be on German telephones for "wrong number". (means literally "no connection under this number") Wolfgang---do they still use it? Also, my father had a whole raft of good sayings, some of which I use, including lots of variations of Murphy's Law e.g. "If anything can go wrong it will" , "Life is basically unfair" etc. Another favorite of his I really like is "I'm even-tempered---always mad". Great thread. |

Subject: RE: BS: Great phrases you know and use. From: Helen Date: 14 Dec 04 - 04:57 PM 1. Not the brightest bulb in the pack Four from a verbal-acrobatics friend of mine who writes a very funny column in a national motorcycle magazine in Oz: 2. S/he's a legend in his/her own lunchtime 3. Cluin said: "It's just a half of an eighth of a sixteenth of an inch off" Aussie equivalent = A *poofteenth off * I don't think it is at all related except for the verbal/word-sound humour value but a "poofter" is a homosexual man in Oz. 4. He ends his column with "Copulator" = cop you later = catch/see you later, but is playing on words. 5. He also says: If I want your opinion I'll give it to you. 6. From a desk calendar, a quote I found which always reminds me of the manager I worked for at the time: Nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have to do it himself. (It's one of the few sayings I don't make gender-non-specific, because I am referring to that manager who was a man) 7. Grow up, wake up & shut up! I made that one up in high school and wrote it on the blackboard when the class was acting up. The teacher actually said it was clever when she came into the room. A compliment from a teacher. Wow! 8. My hubby describes big, wobbly breasts - not that he looks at women's breasts of course - as "Like two puppies fighting in a sack" 9. From a Murphy's Law poster: When in doubt, mumble. When in trouble, delegate. 10. From an old music hall song: "It's the same the whole world over. It's the poor that gets the blame. It's the rich that gets the pleasure. Ain't it all a bleeding shame?" Freda, I like that one about the germs screaming Helen |

Subject: RE: BS: Great phrases you know and use. From: Peace Date: 15 Dec 04 - 12:40 AM Went out for a loaf of bread and didn't come back for about four months. My significant other was completely unreasonable about that at the time. It was 38 years ago, and she really got mad about the whole thing. I have come to understand over the ensuing years that I should have left a detailed note. |

Subject: RE: BS: Great phrases you know and use. From: Peace Date: 15 Dec 04 - 12:41 AM That's true, BTW. I have never seen any individual so irate in my whole life. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Great phrases you know and use. From: Peace Date: 15 Dec 04 - 12:49 AM Come to think of it, she was beyond irate. If I remember correctly, it took her about four days to calm down. I don't recall any of the words she had to say, but I know the language was very colourful. Never thought she was that strong. Who'd a thunk a 5'6" gal could pick up a kitchen table and THROW it like that? If you ever get in this situation, the wrong thing to say is, "Hi, honey, what's for supper." |

Subject: RE: BS: Great phrases you know and use. From: GUEST,exbluebeller Date: 15 Dec 04 - 02:33 PM In the mid 60's, on the wall above one of the few urinals in the gents of "The Rugby" (Hull), spiritual home of Ian "Jock" Manuel, was inscribed "There are no tramcars in Afghanistan" I didn't know what this meant then. I know it even less now. |

Subject: RE: BS: Great phrases you know and use. From: belter Date: 15 Dec 04 - 03:32 PM I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomies. What is your major malfunction? DI from "Full Metal Jacket" But at least I'm not bitter, and that is so important. A friend says his ex is the wean b* of the universe. Another guy said, "And boy was my ex piss that she lost the job." When booze is spilled. Alcohol abuse. |

Subject: RE: BS: Great phrases you know and use. From: GUEST,ranger1(who has forgotten her password) Date: 15 Dec 04 - 05:12 PM Two of my favorites are: 1. Not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree. 2. Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig. Another one I like was said by my physics teacher when he caught one guy giving another guy the finger: Is that your IQ or your sperm count? |

Subject: RE: BS: Great phrases you know and use. From: Peace Date: 15 Dec 04 - 05:16 PM Don F, Yeah. Wasn't my wife (for the record) but she was too mad to consider anything like that. I really never HAVE seen anyone so ___________ in my life. I wish it had been filmed. I'm not making light of my transgression, but it was a thing of terrible beauty. |

Subject: RE: BS: Great phrases you know and use. From: Peace Date: 15 Dec 04 - 05:26 PM Well, I will. Give me a bit and I'll get back. It's a long story that should be shortened and I need to keep names and places out of it. One of those tragic but true/funny but not things. I will, but tonight maybe. Thanks, Don. PS It's hard to hide what an ass I was, so I have to see if the--ah, heck, people know I'm an ass anyway, so I''ll forget the spin and write it. Good story now. It wasn't then. |
