If at first you don´t succeed, then try and try again.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's
opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

"Quotations are the distilled spirit of wisdom--or of foolishness.
Distilled spirits are harsh on the tongue of the neophyte and are liable to
addle the wits even of the adept. They should be used sparingly and with
good judgment."

AHA! I KNEW IT! A real English he-man would know that getting the bird
is great...and you stand a lot better chance of getting your hand in
some bush that way, too...

As recently pointed out to me at some length, this is primarily a
North American group, and "getting the bird" is a North American
expression. Your apparently minimal knowledge of British English slang
is about as much use here as your apparently extensive knowledge of
diapers.

Let's face it, Whack-a-Mole is fun, but not for two weeks. Clearly
the Moles will always pop up for more; but I should think the Whacker
would eventually tire of the game. (The respective identities of the
whackers and the whackees are, of course, subjective.:-)

So, I'll offer only a quote variously attributed to Albert Einstein
and Ben Franklin (and likely the work of neither) that:

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over
again and expecting different results."

Don't eat yellow snow.

If the grasshoppers had machine guns, the birds wouldn't **** with 'em!

I respectfully disagree. We've just now seen the introduction
of the "diaper insult". This is brand new material and could
conceivably provide several more days of novel ****storm. ;-)

And, as always, worth every penny and then some.

The question of whether blue and red are really the same color could
easily provide years of ****storm...and remember, always check the fuel
gauge before diving over the gunwale into the meniscus to see if hauling
loads the rod...

$1,000,000USD...so there!
