Your favourite mixed metaphor

"We raised it to new depths" - maybe appropriate in reference to Caro.

"The [censored] is going to hit the roof."

This happened to a mate of mine when he was trying to get up from his bed to vomit after a house party. For whatever reason he got out of bed by standing on it and then vomitted and shat at the same time, somehow getting vomit all over his bed and floor and a decent amount of sh!t on the ceiling. We still have no idea how he did it.

On the mixed up clichés theme rather than the mixed up metaphors one, an old supervisor used to say "In all honestly..." before almost everything because he was an idiot.

If a tree falls in the woods, does it crush Shrodinger's cat?

Steve Johnson has been an aspiration to me also.

That isn't a mixed metaphor.

No, but the saying is 'you're as useful as [censored] on a bull', not 'useless'

So fits in the theme of the thread

Ha. Wonder if the AFL investigated him for it.

Sam Goldwyn should have told Tippett that

"a verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on ".

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
