Welcome back to Hodge-Podge Lodge!

Lewis Carroll had nothing on me!

In fact, I don't even have to get
STONED to write this CRAP!

Let's take a LOOK-SEE!

Idiotic Idioms

© - Tom Hyland - 12-16-08


Neither Idiots nor Idiophones can be Tuned!

Ruins oft’ contain Runes!

Beware the Ides of: March, May, July, and October!
* Total = 5 x 12, or 6 x 10 *

Add the Ides of January and December
To Total the Number of Letters in our Alphabet!

Karla and Karen May Have Possibly Produced an Idioglossia!


Government:
“Paucity is Our Most Important Product!”
* With the Exception of Taxes *

Lame Duck President:
“A Bush in Hand is Better than Two in the Birds!”

FIRST Runner-Up:
“Drill Baby - Drill!”

SECOND Runner-Up:
“How Do You Field-Dress a Moose?”

THIRD Runner-Up:
“I’m Late! I’m Late! For Secretary of State!”

WINNER:
“Like Finnegan - We Gotta Begin Agin!”
* Change Baby - Change *


LOVERS:
“With This Wed - I Do Thee Ring!”

CORPORATIONS:
“Bend Over and Touch Your Toes,
And We’ll Show You Where the Wild Goose Goes!”

POLITICIANS:
“Now, Would We Lye to You?”

LAWYERS:
“Our Capacity for Veracity is Inordinately Incapacitated!”


Placoderms and Pachyderms are Not Related!

Ruminants Rarely Romp at Rummage Sales!

Pantheism Was Practiced at The Pantheon -
Partly by Pantomimers!

A Pantoum is Neither a Pantaloon, Nor Pantaloons!


Papanicolaou Test Is a Pap Smear!

Paparazzis and Papaverine are Both Toxic!

View Halloo is Synonymous with TallyHo!

Tambu-Bambu Bands Play Bamboo Sticks -
Not Tambourines!


A Little Bitty Kitty Got Lost in The City - Pity!

Iditarods Are Full of Mush, But Not Mushy!

Is Any of This Making Any Cents?

Delirious Delores Was Always Dolorous!


Ooh - ooh -ooh - Just Remembered a Goodie -
Used it as a Pick-Up Line, as a Teenager:
“Are You Psychologically Inclined to be Properly Osculated?”
Translation: Fit or Suitable to be Kissed!


What’s the Similarity Between a Dollop and a Trollup?
They Both Involve ‘Spooning!’

What’s the Difference Between Poesy and Posey?
One is a Flowery Poem - t’other is a Flower Itself!
Both are Archaic - Neither Aramaic!


Idiom - a Colorful Expression -
Similar to, but different from,
a Paradox, or Oxymoron.

Idiotic - Go to Merriam-Webster - picture of ME!

This really gave me a laugh. I'm going to send it to my poor, overworked husband who needs to remember the world outside his office--deadlines are aging him too fast. Love the dollop and trollop! Eileen

“Are You Psychologically Inclined to be Properly Osculated?”

I'm not sure, with that red sox outfit you've got on! Are you sure you ain't one of the Ed Brothers??!!

Not idiotic: just plain FUN! Well done, Tom.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Still LOL at "How do you field-dress a Moose?" (Very carefully, especially if it's still alive!)
