"nobody has been able to take my argument, and ridicule it with bullets." - wip sports guy (at the time) mike missanelli

"he made out like a band-aid" - i forget where this one occurred.

I love malapropisms. Was watching Back to the Future II tonight. Biff had some dandys. "Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?" was my fave.

Oh! Hahaha. I just grabbed that quote in order to express my utter confusion.....then I got it :P

[eta] just thought of one a mate of mine used to use a lot: Oh yeah, I'm a mind of useless information.

My favorite, which I use all the damn time:

we'll burn that bridge when we come to it.

oh I use that one a lot. A good friend of mine used to say it and it stuck in my head.

Not quite the same thing,
but a friend of mine was shopping for shoes when he heard this loud-mouth guy telling his girlfriend...

"I really can't stand Sauconys. I don't know why, I just have a real affinity for them."

You look very extinguished today

My family always says "I'm not one to cast asparagus, but..."

He's as naked as a jailbird.

Jaybird! It's jaybird.

Well, perhaps you know more about the jailbirds being naked. ;)

My oh so intelligent cow orker (with the easy bake oven master's degree) sat in a meeting with her nose high in the air as she explained that it was correct "for all intensive purposes."

At your beckoned call.

When I was a youngster (about 20), my g/f Libby and I went out on the piss one night and then went back to her parents place where she was living at the time. As we snuck down the side of the house (and I gracefully fell into the garden), we managed to make our way to the back patio which Libby's Dad had filled with hanging baskets of plants and climbers and all manner of greenery. When we were in the midst of it, Libby pipes up and says, "look at all my Dad's erotic plants".

I just about pissed myself laughing.

To make someone an escape goat...

mute point...

I always say mute point :)

Now I say, pee like a racist too, apparently.

Thanks LJ

yes I know you do Ducks. ;) You know it should be moot though right?

Its a *mute point* because I would prefer people to shut up about it. :p

yeah well, me and shut up don't go well together. ;)

I've noticed, but you wouldnt be Ali if you shut up

It just popped out of my mouth when the boys asked me a question....automatically said..."can it wait? I need to pee like a racist".

The manager at the Country Club once said, after getting some good news, that he "didn't want to look a goat in the face."

I think he got lost somewhere on the route to gift horses and mouths.

it's not rocket surgery

"When the cat's away, the mice get no pussy."

He puts his pants on one day at a time like everyone else.

You buttered your bread, now lie in it.

your honor, please allow me to get my thoughts in a colostomy bag here.

wtf?!

Woody Allen: They wanted in Hollywood to make the definitive spy picture. And they came to me to supervise the project, you know, because I think that, if you know me at all, you know that death is my bread and danger my butter - oh, no, danger's my bread, and death is my butter. No, no, wait. Danger's my bread, death - no, death is - no, I'm sorry. Death is my - death and danger are my various breads and various butters.

-What's Up Tiger Lily

From the great President himself:

"You can't make a zebra change it's spots."

depressing.

Depressing use of apostrophe too.

Jim you have another convert. I now also say, "Pee like a racist".
Only to myself and Diz, but that's one person and one cat too many!
Then again, it's replaced pee-po, so perhaps it's not that bad after all.

pee-po. pee-po who need pee-po. Are the luckiest....

My son watched The Green Mile a few weeks ago, and he came in and said to me, "That movie is a real eye dragger Mum".

What he meant was 'tear jerker'. Now it's become a running joke whenever someone references crying or sad movies.

Kids used to refer to a lot of stuff as being "truck load." I kinda liked that one. Not boat load. Not shit load. Truck load.

We still say truckload over here. :) We're nice about things like that.

People in glass houses s-s-sink s-ships.
(name that movie!)

Boondock Saints, I think ... Been a while since I've seen that movie. The bartender says it, before the Russians break up the party, right?

It is all a bunch of cock and dagger.

MIL announced that she's been to the Trivia fountain in Rome....

One of my in laws......

hahahaha. I love that one, Juanco

Wasn't that the name of a Snoop Dogg song?

...but it was nothing to write home about?

A mate of mine found himself at the wrong end of disciplinary proceedings at work. In his own interests, he insisted that the personnel manager recorded what was said at the hearing and that he be provided with a copy of the transcript. He pointed out that he was of the opinion that the whole thing was heavy handed and that the company had 'gone for the jugular'. This was dutifully, if inaccurately, recorded in the transcript as 'gone for the juggler'.

As he pointed out, working there always was like working at a circus.:rolleyes:

Carruthers

When you are attacked by a group of clowns, go for the juggler first.

I read this just now and it took me a minute to get the joke. Jeez. What does that say about me?
