bowhunter97 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 The title explains this thread. Im bored so i figured i'd ask what you favorite sayings are. Mine are "Success is when opportunity meets preparation" and "when you learn to quit you never stop". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBow Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Whenever I hear a song that either has a lyrics or tune that is so repetative and rediculous that it sounds like the person who wrote it has the IQ of a prairie oyster, my favorite sarcastic saying is: - "Man! They must have stayed up all night writing that one!" Or when I see a vehicle that is homelier than a hedgehog (and there are lot of them, both in designs of new buggies and in rides that supposedly have been TRICKED (???) out), I usually comment: - "Lord luv a duck! That is one ugly vehicle! What a waste of good money!" My kids can usually pre-anticipate my responses in both of those situations. And when I experience a miss with my bow, whether at game or at a target, I rarely provide a lengthy excuse. Rather I merely indicate that, "I just experienced a number 29 (or whatever #)" drawing from the Bowhunters' List of Most Commonly Used Excuses! Saves a lot of time!

stevebeilgard Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 i had a federal judge who hunted with me in the late '80's. he's say "when there's lead in the air, there's hope." i always remembered that. he liked those 500 yard shots, and even though i could have gotten him much closer (50 yards) he wanted the long shot. and, he didn't miss.

The_Kat Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 "You'll have that on a big job." used when something stupid happens at work. Like someone didn't order the right parts for a launcher/receiver, theres a bad weld, someone calls in drunk.......Yup....you'll have that on a big job.

fly Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I have several. 1. Everytime my kids start complaining or whinning... "There's no crying in baseball" Took that from Tom Hanks. 2. In the morning when my kids are taking too long getting ready for school I'll sing... "All right now, you all got your... hair combed back, and your teeth brushed, and your shoes on, and your HAIR COMBED BACK?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Awe sheesh...I have a few. Whenever someone complains about being in charge, the boss or foreman. " Heavy is the head that wears the crown" When people who wear glasses can't find what I asked them to get. " whats a matter? Didn't your glasses come with instructions?" When I take the boys out to eat...they ALWAYS anticipate this one. " its cheaper to clothe you than feed ya" " He eats like a garbage pail...you step on his foot and his mouth opens" Just to name a few:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Are you kidding me? The MODS would throw me off this forum so fast you'd never know where I went! I've got a few personal favorites but they are mine and used very selectively most of the time. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkoholic Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Here is one that my mom used and now that I'm older it has become a favorite of mine: "It's a great life if you don't weaken", and if asked how I'm doing, "another day in paradise", or perhaps it might be, "living the dream". One thing about sayings, often they are misconstrued so you have to careful about your audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowboy778 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 It is what it is. Another day in paradise. Don't look at me with that tone of voice. (I get strange looks with that one) Stupid people shouldn't breed. Oh there are more. Maybe I will save those for Elk camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCH Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 One my grandma taught me: "I wish I was half as smart as you thought you were." And one that ticks my little girl off but she tends to say "Daddy, you know what?" all the time, so I've gotten to where I quickly reply "Yep, I met him in Walmart the other day!"

stevebeilgard Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 "Daddy, you know what?" all the time, so I've gotten to where I quickly reply "no, but i know his brother, who" is my answer to that one... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 And one that ticks my little girl off but she tends to say "Daddy, you know what?" all the time, so I've gotten to where I quickly reply "Yep, I met him in Walmart the other day!" Give her this one next time: "Daddy, you know what?" Say "Yep, his name's on a light bulb..." I've got a few. One of my favorites when my students whine about work, they always ask me "Do we have to do this?" My standard answer is "Nope, zeros are easy to grade.." and "You only have to do one thing in life, you just have to be willing to pay the consequences if you don't do what you're supposed to do."

dbHunterNY Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 if someone asks me a if they can or should do something that really doesn't need to be asked, i say "whatever floats your boat". also with this it's fun to pull off the tri-fecta if they ask similar questions more than three times. you give them answers of "sure", "fine", and "whatever". also some will tack on the words "ya know" after every statement they make. then i reply "yes i did! i'm glad you understand that i know everything." when the other half says she wants something from me or for me to do something, i reply "how does it feel to want?"
