georgegrasser Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 I was driving with three children, girls ages 9 and 5 and a boy age 7, when suddenly my car broke down in the middle of a busy street. The children could sense my concern for the danger we were in. The 9 year old girl started screaming, so I yelled back, "Don't panic! If you panic, you will die!" Which of course led to more screaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 lol I see you have the same pechant for the right words at the right time with the little kids as I do. I don't know about particular quotes of mine. I am always told "I say the most random things". Right now I have a ficticious word "Shloggin" that can be anything. I usually ask for it at restaurants, or grocers, anywhere really, to get a laugh out of the people im with. Sauce for steak, ice cream ("you mean hagan daaz sir?") We got a new fish, which you can imagine what we named him? Meet Shloggin- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipSlap Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 My in laws were over for Thanksgiving a couple of years back. In the dining room is a Jackson Pollock-type painting that I did years ago. My brother-in-law (a parole officer and mama's boy) attempted to give me some [censored] by scratching his chin and telling the room that he saw sexual frustration in the painting. My reply: "Yeah, I painted it before I met your sister." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Might be an injoke (i'm an Editor of mags and novels) but perhaps some will get it... I once made the remark "f*ck commas. I will make another sentence" in an attempt to humourous. I had my peers and colleagues almost literally rolling on the floor. It has become a sort catchcry for just about any ironically subversive response to crictism in my circles. I'm even quoted quite a few times in "favourite quotations" on FB for it. Oh and lol@ at all above - good thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 I like metaphors too. Some of my favorites: As nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. As happy as a clam at high tide. As busy as a one legged man in a butt kicking contest. I'm as pleased as a pig in an orchard. It runs like a cat on carpet.

chronoluvvv Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 with apologies to the ASPCA @ the park, someone said "that fat kid on that tiny bike reminds me of a monkey [censored] a football" my neighbor after testing his franken-superbike-ATV "man, this thing runs like a raped ape" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipSlap Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 I remember watching the Rape Ape on ABC back in the 70s. I think it aired after Hong Kong Pooney. Amazing what they could get away with in cartoons back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
