Twisted Up

Blog post # 6:

Just fun stuff today. I am not in the mood to get philosophical. (Not that philosophy isn't fun!)

Okay, a LITTLE philosophy, sort of...

What the world needs...

is fewer bars and liquor stores,

and more coffee-shops!

(Well, actually that is just an opinion.)

--------------

Ah, to tickle a cute cuticle.

--------------

I have made a list of clues that equal so-called "inverse cliches".
(For example, the answer to number one is "The storm of the eye.")

Can you guess the others? (Most of these are easy.)

1) Ocular turmoil.
2) Junior's pistol.
3) A barrier from one rug to another.
4) Charades, for example.
5) Less heavy than quick.
6) Obtain provisions before the present becomes the future!
7) A plank suspended above Joe.
8) 6 things hit the time-keeping machine, later 6 more did again.
9) If you do not accumulate, you will not suffer.
10) The sniffer obscures light.

Answer in a couple days in the comments to THIS post.

---------------

Have you heard the following before? I don't remember if I made it up myself, or if I heard it (or heard something similar).
A sort of anti-simile.


The world's society is NOT like a spiral....

Because the spiral evolves as it revolves.

Ha! I love the inverse cliches. I was trying to make one the other day out of "biting the hand that feeds you" (or, feeding the hand that bites you, of course), but every thing I thought of was so obvious!
