How many chickens must a man cross the road with?

Blizzo and I say some fantastic nonsense to each other. Randomness that flows out our mandibles sometimes ends up in our everyday language. (The word "blizzo" for example.) Sometimes we hear something on TV or in a movie that's eerily similar to something absurd we came up with years before, so we like to think we played a role in it -- after all, those actors and screenwriters are at most 6 degrees from us, right?

Here's a list of new things to say:
  • Excuse me sir, but I believe you are standing on my octopus.
  • All's fair in love and Gwar.
  • I'm out like a trout! (borrowed from the genious of Mr.Scruff's Fish)
  • Booyakasha, grandma!
  • There's more than one way to skin a gift horse.
  • Straight out tha 'blivion! (The origins of this one are cloudy even in MY mind)
  • The platypus won't exist.
Stay tuned for more.

PS -- for those of you who are etymologists, "blizzo" is a contraction of the phrase "biznacho bizblotto". Consider yourself schooled on that. You best recognize, son!

All I can remember about "Straight out tha 'blivion!" is playing Settler's of Catan late into the night, and laughing so hard, over and over, everytime we said that phrase. The other players were not amused, and in fact a little annoyed at our antics, but they do not know the zen that is blizzo. Yes, it's my name, a verb, a noun AND an adjective. Respect.
