I speak with a lot of people per day at work (online or otherwise) and I've come across some interesting ones...

Some common examples:
- we spent our time chasing ghosts
- we don't need to reinvent the wheel
- let's not waste time spinning cycles

There are a few that elude my memory at the moment but they were quite creative... let's see what you've come across...

That blew. If you're going to put something down, at least do it creatively.

Let's get this thread back on track so we can stop the bleeding. ;)

Metaphors be with you!

People who don't work full time just can't associate with threads like this... that is all. If you think it's lame, get the hell out. But don't forget to have a nice day.

"as frustrated as a 3-legged dog trying to dig a hole on a frozen lake" <-- is that a metaphor?

Hey, the pun I posted above was probably the best one I've ever come up with and I want more people to read it. ;)
