We had to outdo it. Here's what we came up with.
- Live and let learn.
- A penny saved gathers no moss.
- Out of the frying pan and fuel to the fire.
- Burning your bridges at both ends.
- Another day, another bird in the bush.
- Blood is thicker than water under the bridge.
- One man's rain is another man's treasure.
- Two wrongs don't make a crowd.
- Two's company; three's a wheel.
Also, I've made a lot of updates to the Theodore blog. You really ought to check it out. If we get enough people reading and faithfully checking the site, I can start distributing Theodore gear again. You know, T-shirts, buttons, bumper stickers...you name it. Help me fulfill a long-time dream and turn Theodore into a pretentious indie webcomic.
I had a friend my freshman year who was FANTASTIC at these!! But that was mostly because she was kind of...not...bright. My personal fave: "You hit the bull right on the horn!"
ReplyDeleteAH haah. Those were good, Rog would love this. I think he had a boss once that was similarly (inadvertantly) really good at these.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the intro to Theodore.

ReplyDeleteYou can lead a horse to water, but you can't teach an old dog to make a silk purse out of a pig in a poke.
Burning the bridges at both ends cracked me up. I'm not intelligent enough to come up with my own, but fortunately not lacking in enough intelligence to inadvertently say them.
ReplyDeleteI kinda feel like trying that out, burning bridges at both ends. I guess the whole point is that you'd then fall down into the deep ravine below, though. Darn.
Might I offer an anachronistic, "Pearls before hoes"?
ReplyDeleteThe one my little bro and I always say is "We'll burn that bridge when we get to it."
ReplyDeleteP.S. Theodore is linked. I'll spread him far and wide, if it's the last thing I do.
