Another HFY quote, but the concept is old: A plan always sounds best before someone starts shooting at it. This isn’t for pithiness, I actually looked it up: The word slough, which rhymes with “grew”… Because of course it does. Why would anyone expect it to rhyme with cough or plough? The secondary reason wasContinue reading “Quote of the Day Two”

Quotes of the Day (1)
I’m trying to decide if I want to start aggregating them and doing a weekly post. Here’s the latest (from an HFY story): You fight to annihilate.

Chicken/Egg Problem
If it is digging up the dirt, how did it get on top of the dirt? I wasn’t watching, so I don’t know.
Train of Thought otd
I’m making “of the day” public. It’s been an in-joke for a while. It started as “Quote of the Day” then expanded to take in whatever weirdness caught my attention.
