"Congealed thinking is the forerunner of failure... make sure you are always receptive to new ideas."
— George Crane

bansaisequoia on 2009-10-07 21:47:46
My thoughts are a pudding skin with an ant walking across it. Only my congealed thinking saves the ant from disaster.

bvwRedux on 2012-04-25 10:28:27
Bansai, be not pudding as it attracts ants, and also why rescue them? Would not the ant fin heaven in the pudding below the skin?

wvwoman on 2013-08-16 22:17:12
you're both nuts.

cindidido on 2014-05-26 03:23:56
But in a good way.

I hope that's the last cryptogram with CONGEALED in it.

well, u-mom, this is the "something new" i've learned today!

tfw on 2016-01-24 11:42:43
If bansaisequoia is indeed nuts, then his or her thoughts must be pistachio pudding.

perhaps good advice, but a gross image.

Interesting - she's using the imagery of putting on too much makeup.

Great comments above, but the quote wasn't taken to heart, even though the commenters are highly intelligent. There!

"If you ate pasta and antipasto, would you still be hungry?" Anonymous

geeko321 on 2014-01-17 09:47:12
No, you would not still be hungry, because you'd be dead. The pasta and antipasto, when they collide, would annihilate, releasing an amount of energy equal to their mass times the speed of light squared, which would surely destroy your entire body in a frightful explosion.

chopstix on 2014-02-24 17:03:31
haha geek - that would depend on whether it mattered or antimattered!

i first tried "small boobs"...i knew it wouldn't be right, but couldn't help making myself smile.

kb83 on 2014-06-19 08:10:59
small boobs inherited are worse than great boobs done. (Or are they?)

LLapp on 2016-09-20 17:33:17
No such thing as worse boobs; they are all beautiful.

montyb on 2017-04-10 10:43:45
Aw, thanks for the kind word, LLapp. You certainly gave this boob a lift -- so to speak.

Congratulations! How cool that it was for the same quote!

Good for you Marnita. It's one with a low solve rate too.

marnita on 2015-09-30 05:17:48
How ridiculous is this? My third record, on the same quote.

Marnita, that is nothing short of amazing. Congrats to you.

Your record is in no danger, from me, marnita.

marnita - that is amazing. This obviously is YOUR quote.

Would you believe, my FOURTH record, all on the same quote? 13 seconds this time! I wonder if I will ever get a record on some other quote?

LLapp on 2016-07-25 12:51:28
So nice to stop in here at the Marnita-Shakespeare Record-Breaking Page. I expect she'll be back again any day now.

mmfs83 on 2017-02-12 08:53:08

"We all love animals. Why do we call some "pets" and others "dinner?""
— k.d. lang

fishbum on 2011-06-24 18:34:50
Because we are at the top of the food chain.

montyb on 2012-03-20 19:08:41
Some pets have eaten their human owners.

maradnu on 2013-01-21 20:05:38
because some are tastier than others

Kgun5 on 2013-03-27 22:06:31
Some are more useful than others...Some are more practically domesticated than others...Some are more practically bred for food (and profit) than others... Lots of quality reasons.

contrary on 2014-06-03 16:25:11
Because some are illegal to kill for food in the US.

LLapp on 2014-09-02 17:00:48
We all love trees. Why do we call some "landscaping" and others "furniture"?

JD_1947 on 2014-11-11 05:41:01

"Every convenience brings its own inconveniences along with it. "
— Proverb

Like, what do you with the 90 seconds of waiting time while you reheat food in the microwave?

Roxanne on 2016-01-21 01:01:20
I thought proverbs were sort of metaphorical, like "a stitch in time saves nine." This one would be "Every 7-11 has loitering youth in the parking lot."

abra on 2017-03-03 08:54:26
Funny, Roxanne. I thought a proverb was a well known axiom. A lot of these I've never heard in my pretty long life. pro·verb ˈprävərb/ noun a short pithy saying in general use, stating a general truth or piece of advice.

abra on 2017-03-12 10:58:12
I'll try again without the quotation marks. noun a short pithy saying in general use, stating a general truth or piece of advice. synonyms: saying, adage, saw, maxim, axiom, motto, bon mot, aphorism, apophthegm, epigram, gnome, dictum, precept; words of wisdom "Mama didn't just recite proverbs about decency and good sense, she lived by them.

darkyr on 2017-04-05 04:06:22
Proverbs are a convenience, wrapping up wisdom in small packages. How inconvenient that we can never know all of them without defeating that purpose.

I'm pretty honest with and about myself . . . frankly I don't get it . . .

darkyr on 2016-06-27 10:03:02
I already know what I am going to say back to myself, so what is the point. Then again, I already know what others are going to say. Aha!

Annie Oakley. It was her rifle that made saying goodbye so hard. If a man dumped her, boom.
