"He who goes to law for a sheep loses his cow. "
— Proverb


kat on 2009-03-09 15:55:11
I hate when that happens.

bansaisequoia on 2009-11-01 16:48:36
Don't have a cow, man.

LiveLoveLaugh on 2009-11-14 17:03:01
that's why I avoid the law

bansaisequoia on 2010-01-05 21:16:58
I fought the law and the law won.

kat on 2010-05-08 16:49:32
Still pining for my lost cow...

bansaisequoia on 2010-06-01 23:49:43
kat don't have a cow!

kat on 2010-10-24 16:26:41
Don't rub it in Bansai! I KNOW I don't have a cow! That's why I'm pining...

That's the cost of a lawyer. They charge by the syllable.

SippyGurl on 2015-10-16 04:56:46
so mooving

LLapp on 2016-01-09 10:15:55
Kat's cow is a moo point. I wouldn't lose any sheep over it.

debzhaus on 2016-03-22 17:33:56
It's like a cow's opinion. It doesn't matter.

"In reality, the world has paid too great a compliment to critics, and has imagined them men of much greater profundity than they really are. "
— Henry Fielding

bansaisequoia on 2009-09-18 00:49:03
And he lived two centuries before Siskel & Ebert.

maradnu on 2009-11-25 00:19:53
Sounds like a man burned a few times by criticism.

debzhaus on 2011-08-08 08:32:32
LOL! Or should I say, "Two thumbs up!"

“Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves.� Brendan Behan

GtrZan on 2015-10-29 02:10:44
"In reality... really...". Redundant?

LLapp on 2016-04-12 14:09:32
Oh GtrZan, everybody's a critic.

I have to add to this - and don't let your mother drink too much at your wedding My husband's mom had a little too much at our wedding and started telling embarrassing stories from his childhood to everyone. He spent half the wedding trying to stop her

"The present is the ever moving shadow that divides yesterday from tomorrow. In that lies hope. "
— Frank Lloyd Wright


LLapp on 2016-01-11 15:39:26
Now is in the shadow, and yesterday and tomorrow are in the light? What?

cryptospiridiagram on 2016-03-15 07:15:12
Wait—I thought tomorrow, tomorrow, and tomorrow crept in a petty pace and life was the walking shadow.

1 (800) PSYCHIC will do the same, but will charge you $2.50 a minute.

I think its 1-800 PSYCHO.They let their maid answer your call while they are throwing a celebration party at your expense in their Beverly Hills mansion

"All of you that intend to ring, you undertake a dangerous thing. " — Unattributed

LiveLoveLaugh on 2009-10-21 12:08:08
okay :^)

kb77 on 2011-09-16 10:59:04
ring as in mob? that at least makes sense.

montyb on 2012-03-16 22:16:58
Context?????

montyb on 2012-07-23 21:26:45
I believe it's referring to telemarketers.

BrightSky9 on 2012-09-18 14:39:47
Sing? Be king? Go shopping?

bansaisequoia on 2012-10-21 15:14:01
Maybe it means don't watch that Japanese videotape that kills everybody seven days after viewing. (but, telemarketers sounds plausible, too!)

joed on 2012-12-07 06:44:45
Boxing ring? Wedding ring?

montyb on 2012-12-08 21:36:45
I'm sticking with telemarketers.

WRQ9 on 2014-01-31 06:43:51
Resound. Resonate. Include self in definition of life. Believe, participate, achieve. Unattributed is really sharing deeply with us how he/(she) decided not to.

skoogie2 on 2014-03-23 10:27:33
Good interpretation, WRQ, that makes sense.

Lurker on 2015-01-28 12:43:44
Considering this site, I'm going with the wedding ring theory.

dovid1946 on 2015-02-12 04:51:29
how about the lost art of door-to-door selling?. Ringing the bells of those houses, never knowing what maniacal horror lurks inside those domiciles.

LLapp on 2015-08-11 16:20:53
Definitely telemarketers. This must be from the training manual. And by the way, I wasted a good 30 seconds staring at "RING" before I hit enter.

caa on 2015-08-12 11:08:08
Oh, come on, guys! I'm pretty sure it refers to campanology. Bell-ringing. You can hang yourself on the bell-rope, or pull a bell over on yourself, or be deafened if you're in the bell-room at the wrong time. And then there are the angry villagers who lie in wait...

kb83 on 2015-11-04 09:58:08
I think it is about marriage. Sorta Shakespearian.

marnita on 2016-03-31 13:51:44
I agree with caa.

jnoodles on 2013-05-17 13:17:18

"Remember, a chip on the shoulder is a sure sign of wood higher up. "

dovid1946 on 2015-04-15 09:12:17
and he must have had a lot of wood down below as well. He had a lot of children.

wvwoman on 2015-05-28 19:23:36
geez, dovid.

kb83 on 2015-09-10 07:36:49

if you have a chip on your shoulder you might be a blockhead

And if your first guinea is a male and your second is a female, soon you will have a wealth of guineas. Oh, wait, that's guinea pigs.

kb83 on 2015-10-13 10:21:30
Is someone who hoards his guineas a guinea pig?

He looks like his puppy left him for his best friend.

abra on 2016-01-03 14:50:17
...even though he had a pork chop tied around his neck.
