Merlot, your signature, it's uncanny, but that's something that some of us friends at college used to say. I was surprised that that was so similar so I did a google search of it, just in case some of us picked it up from somewhere else and that it was not an original saying.

If you recognize, "there is a vas deferens between me and a gametophyte" (it came up in conversation that we all had), we need to talk and mull over old times, dude. Give me a private message, if you recognize the other saying. There was another one: "There are only two things in this world that smell like tuna; one of them is tuna." But I think that the person who said that got it from somewhere else. The gametophyte was spontaneous, so no one could have copied that from some other place.

Otherwise, it is a clever saying and I bow in your general direction for your wit!


I respectively have no idea what your talking about.

EDIT: This is odd. I just Googled "up space creek without a gyro boost" (which, incidentally is an original line from a quirky piece I wrote some time ago), and this came up. I guess Google has infiltrated everywhere now.

I've been known to use "thick as two short planks" too, and "a few sandwiches short of a picnic."
Other descriptions might include "space case" or "simple." Actually, the latter is my favourite old-timey name for the folks we now call "intellectually challenged."

Not the cat with the sharpest claws is he?

A few bricks short of a load?

Ride the short bus do we?

If you had brains you'd be dangerous....

What's that sound?...ah, the wind is whistling thru your ears again...

Lights are on but nobody's home.... Idea
