sigh I guess Iā€™ll have to go find one of his posts now to look at it.

Heh. Thanks. Went a-googling for new quotes to sport, and, well, that one sort of hit me just right. Makes me smile, thinking of the old milk-snatcher. Might hang onto it for a while. :slight_smile:

(edit: siggy line is changed)

puff, puff Yeah, okay, it was funny. Anything else going on? :laughing:

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Yeah, but I wonder what it was that God said.

I can picture her saying it, too. :laughing:

Iā€™ve looked all over. Nada. A couple of sources say itā€™s attributed to her, but most others, including some academic ones for what thatā€™s worth, treat it as a reliable quote. Nevertheless, it remains incomplete.

But hey, I was doing Googlisms yesterday, and they ā€œdonā€™t have enough information about ā€˜picklingā€™ yetā€. I mean, come on.

I have NO idea. Iā€™m too busy fielding my embarrassment enough as it is to ponder it.

Hm. Iā€™ve seen that quote attributed to Bernard Law Montgomery. But who knows? Itā€™s funnier thinking of Maggie saying it, though.

Dangit. Maybe Iā€™ll just have to change it.

sigh

But you know what? Iā€™m gonna work that into my conversation chops. Like this:

ā€œAs God once said, and I think rightly, ā€˜Put that bodhrĆ”n away. Now.ā€™ā€

:smiley:

Just changed it. Only seems right, now, after all. Olā€™ Oscarā€™ll do just fine.
