A day without gravy is like a day without sunshine.
No sense crying over spilled milk
Don't spill the beans.

Beans, beans

so eat some beans

The game is afoot
ON CLICHES, BY MADELINEB
I could be wrong, or I could be right.
But I get the funny feeling that
This could take all night.
Chalk it up to experience
I wish I could erase
But I don't really get what the fuss is all about
When it comes to Cliches.
Whether you're black, or white, or red,
Whether you're fully alive or already half dead,
Familiarity breeds contempt
only for words that are better not said.
If its worth doing, its worth doing right.
Practice makes perfect.
You can say that again.
One man's loss is another man's gain.
I should stop while I'm ahead.
But I never know what's best for me.
I have never been lost, just bewildered once.
I may not always be right, but I am never wrong.
Hit for six!
The hits just keep on coming!
Show me the money
You're batting a thousand.
One in a million.
What are the odds?
a snowball's chance in hell
A fat chance.
Waste not, want not.
In for a penny, in for a pound.
A penny saved is a penny earned.
Pennies from heaven. Penny for your thoughts. Daily double.

My name is Beth, and I'm a cliche-aholic. I first started simply enough, saying, "what's up Doc", just like a famous cartoon celeb...pretty soon I was out of control, singing senseless rhymes about spaghetti...

AND OUT OF THE DOOR
AND NOW MY POOR MEATBALL
IS GONE FOREVER MORE...
And They're coming to take me away Ha Ha
They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha
to the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time,
and I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats
and they're coming to take me away ha ha

When you don't have the right tool to do the job, use your head instead.

Well now you're just being crabby...
Saying that I probably put myself in a tight pinch.
Better nip on out of here...
Now just put your claws away.
