Juxtapose

directed to anyone in particular, or everyone in general?

that one has got to be up there on the top of my list of favorite sayings. It can only be beaten by the one my Grandaddy likes to say: "Before you criticize anyone, walk a mile in their shoes." (That way, you're a mile away and you have their shoes) Just glad to be back and reading your blogs, Cass :)

Just a general word of admonition, brought to mind by some things I have heard/seen people say/do, Bri. :) I have to think about these things too, I guess. I like that one too, Benj. :) Are you in Maine yet?

Never pat a burning dog

Don't spit into the wind.

A stitch in time saves nine.

You can lead the horse too the water, but you cant make it drink. If dont think you can do it, just give up its a waste of time.

Never eat the yellow snow.

Don't read Cassie's blog when you have two finals tomorrow and really should be getting some sleep because that's what all the professors tell you as if they did anything but cram the reading for the entire course into one night and hope it reappears as brilliance or at least sanity on paper the next morning.

never punch a guy with glasses

Just because Ted went off the bridge, doesn't mean you should.

The unwashed hand is lonely, yet the lonely hand goes unwashed...

I can't believe that my blog attracts such wisdom, and distracts students from studying from finals. Any more wise sayings? I keep trying to think of another one, but they're not coming. ...and they all said that the glasses would ruin all my chances of making friends. Think'a'that. And I apologise, J. I really do.

Also with respect to those living in glass houses, walking around naked would be ill-advised...

Unless it's a tinted glass house.

Only gangsters live in tinted glass houses, and, as gangsters, would be subject to the occasional rock-throwing, if not drive-by-shootings. Walking around naked is still unadvisable, in the long-term.

If you run over a skunk, It will smell realy bad.

See, I think it smells kinda like puppy breath, which is the most beautiful smell in the world, so I don't mind it so much. Just if it gets on me.

There is something wrong with you. realy.

You can lead the horse too the water, but you cant make it drink. But you can feed it salt.

Save the whales, they make great dog food.

If the horse won't drink, put him on a 0.9% saline IV. Save the whales, redeem them for valuable prizes. Save the whales, collect the whole set! You could bring said horse to the lake, shoot the him, liquify him in the blender and shake with a bit of vodka and an olive, thus debunking the saying "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him into a drink."

Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time. And it annoys the pig.

Yes, I made it back to Maine (long story there) but everything's fine: I'm not living in a glass house (though it must be lovely when the sun hits it right). I haven't tried to make a horse drink water (though my dog turns up his nose to his dry food at times) And, as for the whales, I say, "Fry Willie"!

I just have to say, it's great to be home and it's great coming back to this page

eh heh. Fry Willie. I'll bet Barry can appreciate that one. :D Great to have you back, B. :)

whales forget whales they dont bother anyone. you have got to watch out for gerbals

heh - gerbils - that reminds me of a story with Pastor Yazzie, a gopher and a push mower :p

See above. ^ Pastor Yazzie.. I miss that guy. :(

Save the whales, they make great dog food. Make every possibly effort to get on Cassie's good side so one day she'll invite you to her house and you can meet her mom. And maybe even Mystery Man Quinn.

that pastor yazzie and gopher story reminds me of a story... ;-D hahahaha! "SHE's shouldn't leave chili unattended on the stove because SHE would end up having to put the burning pot outside to cool off in the snow. Of course SHE will forget it's out there. SHE then would hear her very nice neighbor scream when he hits it with his snowblower and thinks it's the cat being splattered all over the yard." *SHE = Sidetracked Home Executive - from Flylady.com
