Phrases that make you go hmm...

[Iroquois]

This thread is for those idiotic phrases that we say that don't really make any sense when you think about them logically.

For instance, whenever we are looking forward to something, like the next civ of the week, we say "I can't wait!"

Well, if it is not here yet then you HAVE TO wait. You have no choice. Saying you can't wait is like saying that you expect time to leap forward to the moment it arrives since anything that happens in the meantime is insignificant.

Just some food for thought.

Reading that the Huron defeated and partially assimilated the Iroquis made me go hmmm...

Why we got Iroquois versus a decent civ like the Incas or the Ottomon empire? The Iroquois are Huron fodder...

Sorry dude...

Thanks for spamming by Kitten, at least you could have spelled Iroquois correctly. But then I guess that just shows how much you know what you are talking about there.

Kill me for a typo...I knew you'd flare up as you are trying to be Mr Iroquois. The Iroquois tribe was beaten by the Huron...slander say you...hehe!

P.S your quote was used by a civfanatic who left cos of moderator trouble called BORDERPATROL...he used the tank graphics to make that quote LOOK GOOD, PLUS it fitted with his name...

I miss BORDERPATROL even though he didn't like me...

I was in Spain for 5 weeks doing geology fieldwork...I posted at night from an internet cafe...I didn't have much time so I had to be selective in my reading...afraid "letting loose from the noose" sounded like another death penalty thread

So you are BP...bring back the tanks sig!

Can I help you?
Have a nice day.
Would you like fries with that?

And in court and in weddings, when they ask, "Are you x?" "No, I'm a bowl of soup"
Why ask a question when you know the answer?

It's like when people call in and I say, "What can I do for you today?" And the obvious answer is "FIX MY COMPUTER DAMN IT!!!!" But I've only had 4 or 5 people say that in the year I've been working.

[Iroquois]

Sometimes sentences don't make sense when you really think about them because they contain a word that is overused or even abused in the English language.

One of these such words is "love".

I might say, "I love Civilization."

In actuality I am not "in love" with my game but I am just fascinated and possibly even infatuated with it. The problem is that in the English language there is no word that fits in between like and love, so the word "love" gets used whenever we want to say we like something a lot.

How about when someone is looking for something and they whine "Well I've looked EVERYWHERE!!!"

Apparently you haven't. The damn thing's still missing isn't it?!?!?
