    Cryptic metaphors, amusing muses, and other flatulence of the imagination Empty Cryptic metaphors, amusing muses, and other flatulence of the imagination

    This thread is a receptacle for all those interesting limricks, ponderous phrases, and other odd tidbits that make you scratch your head.
    Almost anything goes as long as it is suitably intersting and mysterious.
    For example:
    If suits travel in garment bags, and garments travel in suitcases, what do shoes travel in?
    They're not loopholes; they're special rules for people that go to the trouble of finding them.
    Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun.
    (Borrowed from evil dead, but still)
    I fear a different kind of cross...

    You might be a redneck if...

    You have ever been going down the interstate and you open the sliding side door of you van to get a better look at the wreck on the other side, despite the fact that there's a window in the door!

    This is 100% true. I actually saw this when sitting in traffic behind said wreck in Pigeon Forge, TN.

    I don't suffer from madness; I enjoy every minute of it.
    I let my mind wander, but then it didn't come back.
    Any good fighter will tell you: a hammer is just a really heavy set of lockpicks.
    Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he will sit in a boat drinking beer all day.


    Adding to tease's list:
    You might be a redneck if:
    Your shotgun sees more use than your lawnmower
    You don't know the original color of your truck
    The pitchfork you use to scrape cow crap off your yard is the same one you use to cook hot dogs for your wedding.

    The internet is the great equalizer, the remover of preconceptions, the destroyer of stereotypes. On the internet, there is no rank, no age, no face to make assumptions from, no body type, no accents, no mannersims to stereotype.
    All you have to go by is a username, an avatar, perhaps a gender. All there is is the raaw personality of the other person, wiht none of the traditional social constraints between you and them. In other words, You see them as they see themselves, not as how you would expect someone of that appearance to be.
    Ther is a sense of layin' it bare, a sense of "Here I am, in all my glory, all my folly, all my strengths and flaws. Love me, hate me, just don't troll me."

    This isn't always a good thing.

    Butt it allows diversities in friendships, companionships, and relationships in general that would otherwise be impossible due to traditional social and societal limitations.

    How is it that the federal government, despite employing millions of intelligent individuals, displays the collective intelligence of a squeegee?

    Ever notice that when someone says "With all due respect" it always means "Kiss my ass"?

    That's due to the Tease Principle (TM) of puttin' that much intelligence into a political system tends to have a Divide by Zero effect on the people within it. In short, it's all those competin' intellects cancellin' each other out, unfortunately leavin' the governmental administrators as the ones left thinkin', and we know they can be outsmarted by their pens...

    Aliens will never come to earth, because they would probably end up downloading the internet first.
    In stories in general, when time travel is involved, why does everyone in both the future and the past speak 21st century english?

    If there's one thing modern society has shown it is that people are perfectly willing to ignore the bigger picture as long the little one makes them feel good.

    Market research is inherently flawed: you cannot gauge the interests of millions from a sample group of a few hundred thousand.

    Reminds me of the hitchhiker's guide.

    DON'T PANIC!



    Beware the stork smash!
    Perfection is an impossible thing.
    I am not kirk, spock, dorthy, flash, neo, archer, luke, or Arthur frelling Dent.
    I am not allowed to offer the farm kid and the old man a better rate to Aldaraan.

    We must accept life, in all its grandeur, all its splendor, but also in all its cruelty and unfairness.

    All its joy and happiness, all its sadness and pain.

    All its fun and excitement, all its sorrow and anguish.

    All its companionship and love, and all its shock and betrayal.

    To rage against wrongs when we can, and flow with rights.

    It’s in our nature, our blood.

    It’s all we have, save each other.

    It’s all I can express through the limitations of this petty language.

    Through the medium that is this internet connection.

    Today I ordered pizza, which isn't a wierd thing but I checked the weather before the pizza guy arrived. There was a LIGHT dustin' of snow on the ground, and the sky was clear of clouds and blue as mah eyes...
    I did this 3 MINUTES before the pizza guy arrived, occasionally glancin' out the window to see if I could spot him arrive. (I was hungry and have a high metabolism)
    Apparently, the Creator Spirit/Higher Power/Mother Nature/Allah/God really hates Pizza delivery personnel as when the guy arrived, a full blown BLIZZARD had appeared, dropped 2 inches of snow, and was tryin' to turn him into a mobile snowman. Five minutes after he left, the Blizzard died down and the sky was clear again.

    We need to stop quoting philosophers, and start quoting ourselves.

    if you are happy when you laugh and angry when you resent some thing... how come no one laughs at every thing? - Me.
