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.

.......and please tell me that this mate of yours is a Collingwood or Richmond supporter ;-)
 

From Kennett's latest froth about Adelaide: "It staggers belief". Sure does ... :blink:

"Take the bull by the tail"

"it's been a game of two halves". Surprisingly enough

And non football related

"...they misunderestimated me....". GW Bush


I'm tired of the way Caro in casting nasturtiums upon us .

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

HAHAHAHAHA you have made my day, that is the best thing I have ever heard... Keeping on theme shouldnt it be "If a tree falls in the woods, does it cruch Heisenberg'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 ".

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
