SODS LAW

I am planning on putting a small A5ish art book (brochure) together, maybe after xmas. I am just waiting to get enough images together. It will be the complete pen and ink style collection. All the images are about modern day issues such as War, Global Warming, Poverty ect.

Is this something anybody would be interested in, please tellus

[Montubu7]

Sounds good fella..

[Tyler Durden]

I'd be interested..

[Rourke]

Cheers both of you, I will put you name down cheers.

[Rourke]

Does any body know any old sayings or words?
funny or not, let me have em.

Like…

Can't teach your Grandma to suck eggs
Flash in the Pan
Might aswell talk to a Lamp post
Deaf as a Door Nail
Flabbergasted
Well a go to foot of our stairs
Can't swing a cat around in here

Don't ask why am doing this, I'll tell you later

[Monkey]

Rourke, What about "Wetter than an otter's pocket" ;D

[Rourke]

Good one mate, very funny. Av never hurd that 1

[melmoth]

Always enjoyed this one from my grandfather:

There's more ways to kill a pig than fill it full of strawberries.

Also, as a variant to nothernmonkey's one, and as quoted on Blackadder:

Wetter than a haddocks bathing costume

[johnas]

* burning the candle at both ends
* chewing the fat
* horses for courses
* more than one way to skin a cat
* got out of bed on the wrong side
* can't teach an old dog new tricks
* you can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink


and a couple of modern day classics:
* shaking like a shitting dog
*s**t through the eye of a needle
* sweating like a rapist
* is the pope catholic/do bears shit in the woods/does dolly parton sleep on her back

[melmoth]

Another modern day one:

face like a bulldog licking p*ss off a thistle.

[scavos]

Count me in please rourke.

So hungry I could eat a scabby cat.
Like a rat up a drainpipe.
Smells like a pox doctor's clerk.
More jam than Robinsons.
Falls down the sewers and comes up smelling of roses.
Hung like a donkey.
You don't shit on your own doorstep.
She's ugly, but you're fucking ugly.
Thick as pigshit.
It went like shit off a shiny shovel.
So happy I could shit.
You cooking fat!
Cupid stunt.
No wucking furrys.
More fat on a butcher's dog.
Where there's muck there's brass.
Can't see the wood for the trees.
Can't see for looking.
The dude abides (sorry carlito!)
One up the bum, no harm done.
Slip a Richard.
Sorry I realy am going to have to stop now!!
ps - Nipples like organ stops

[taco]

you can't polish a turd...

[GD303uk]

s**t of a hot shovel; The bmw man @ laz moved faster than s**t of a hot shovel to get his Micallef prints on ebay before the day ended.

and one i here from a friend from cani farm(cantral farm), when any body says something he doesnt quite believe he says
" i have heard fat dogs fart before"

"A shy byrn gets na broth", , dont know if my spelling is correct,
i was looking for the saying but cant find it, Byrn is meant to be scottish slang for baby, but when i heard it thats what it sounded like i asked and was told it means a shy baby gets no broth. if you dont ask you dont get,

[Joe J]

Count me in too please Rourke Van Dal!

Good from far... But far from good.

If in doubt... Take it out.

Bomb walls not people!

[khadagan]

my head's like a box of frogs
couldn't punch clay uglier
cunning stunts
quicker than ripe figs through a short grandmother...


can;t wait to see the a5ish book

[daveh]

Put me down for one please Rourke

like herding cats
an empty vessel makes most noise
pots calling the kettle black
people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones

[buffin]

"I think the answer lies ........... in the soil"

Think its an old saying used by a certain Ted Moult but frequently still used in our office when someone asks a difficult question about anything and you don't know the answer.

Bit more modern but if you're feeling tired you are 'Natalie Tokered"

Remember when you used to play tag or touch and you wanted a time out? Think there are many differant sayings for that. We used to cross our fingers and shout "squeezy". No idea why!

[orangematt]

Yeah man , sounds interesting...

I always liked the saying..

"Theres plenty folk in graveyard would like that problem !!"

Its kinda darkly positive

[Rourke]

Cheers orangematt, like the stencil you've done in your charity auction thread

[misteraitch]

If it's going to be full of your work then yeah I would deffo be interested.

As for sayings..

"You couldn't shout coal up a back alley!"
(usually shouted at someone who's bloody awful at singing)

"Shy bairns get nee sweets" (similar to gd303uk's byrns 'n' broth phrase)

"Sweating like a fat lass"

However my personal favourite as it paints such an amusing picture..

"About as much use as a sponge leg in a flood!"

;D

[themightyreds]

a variations on misteraitch's...

"About as much use as a fart in a spacesuit!"
or
"As much use as a chocolate ashtray"

[dslug]

It would freeze the balls off a brass monkey

as useless as tits on a bull

as useless as a chocolate tea pot.

[buffin]

If it ain't broke don't mend it

Measure twice, cut once

A bad workman blames his tools

[Daniel Silk]

[olisfx]

"Make Tea Not War" Danny Wallace - Yes Man (book)
"Fail to prepare and prepare to fail"
"Fix up look sharp"
"I can't Adam and Eve it"
