Today's Saying

[buckytom]

After working all but 2 days in the last 3 months, most days 12+ hours, I feel like this:

I carry twenty-three great wounds, all got in battle. Seventy-five men have I killed with my own hands in battle. I scatter, I burn my enemies' tents. I take away their flocks and herds. The Turks pay me a golden treasure, yet I am poor! Because *I* am a river to my people!

 

[Yorky]

Sometimes I sits and thinks.


Sometimes I just sits.

 

[Morning Glory]

Sometimes I sits and thinks.


Sometimes I just sits.

I have another version of that involving an additional consonant...

 

[buckytom]

Spits?

Jumping out of an airplane without a parachute is a once in a lifetime event.

 

[Yorky]

Jumping out of an airplane without a parachute is a once in a lifetime event.

That one was around long before Kelly Clarkson was even a gleam in her mama's eye.
I've heard it all my life.

I know, but I felt like I needed to give credit to someone - and she was the first that came into my head. Now I've got the song stuck in my head.

Here you go another good saying and an earworm.
"Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings. "
Compliments of Jimmy Page and Robert Plant.
For those under 35 or over 70. The song is Stairway to Heaven.

I've had that stuck in my head since reading the juniper berry thread.

 

[Morning Glory]

I've had that stuck in my head since reading the juniper berry thread.

You may not know this song as he was a British phenomenon back in the 60's - but this has been my earworm ever since that juniper thread started!

"Jennifer Juniper, lives upon the hill
Jennifer Juniper, sitting very still"
