WELCOME to Friday November 16, 2012. Students…..
English professors love to catch the errors students make in their term papers, and they love nothing better than to catch mixed metaphors. The “friends and survivors” of Calvin College English department collected this list of mixed metaphors and posted them on their web site:
“He swept the rug under the carpet.”
“She’s burning the midnight oil at both ends.”
“It was so cold last night I had to throw another blanket on the fire.”
“It’s time to step up to the plate and cut the mustard.”
“She’s robbing Peter to pay the piper.”
“He’s up a tree without a paddle.”
“Beware my friend…you are skating on hot water.”
“Keep your ear to the grindstone.”
“Sometimes you’ve gotta stick your neck out on a limb.”
“Some people sail through life on a bed of roses like a knife slicing through butter.”
Hey, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a great WEEKEND people, and whatever you do,
don’t forget to LAUGH IT UP! Peace I am outta here, Eucman!

Thursday’s Movie Trivia of the day!‘ How much movie trivia can you answer?
What movie is this quote from??? “Your crime is you use people. You’re using Raymond. You’re using me. You use everybody.”
“I’m using Raymond? Hey Raymond, am I using you? Am I using you, Raymond?” “Yeah.” “Shut up! He’s answering a question from a half hour ago!”
Answer: Rain Man! In this scene Susanna (Valeria Golino) is arguing with her boyfriend, self-centered yuppie car salesman Charlie Babbitt (Tom Cruise), in the hotel room he is sharing with his autistic brother Raymond (Dustin Hoffman) and Susanna. They are driving west to Charlie’s home in Los Angeles from Raymond’s institutional home in Cincinnati, after Raymond’s and Charlie’s father died (they are driving because Raymond is afraid of flying). Susanna angrily says line one, Charlie shouts line two, Raymond (who answers many questions with “yeah” regardless of what he is asked) says line three, and Charlie reacts to this answer by shouting line four, just as Susanna walks out. “Rain Man” tells the story of two brothers, one autistic and one self-centered, who don’t know each other but who come to understand each other and develop a close relationship on their drive west.
