Guess you got to be in the "clique"
Oh well..............Maybe another time :mj06:
I would have bet you something if I saw it in time. ....Early bird sometimes gets killed.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child, but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
Corinthians. Heard it repeatedly from a Catholic brother as a high school frosh. This pain in the ass brother was my geometry teacher
lol "SMURPHY"
That's good. Think I got one even better I heard off the internet from a lawyer that couldn't gamble and gave up......

Yep, 6 of one, half dozen of the other. All I know is I can't gamble worth shit anymore. ...And I'm actually kind of happy about that.
In all seriousness
I've had many a thought over the last year or so about giving up the sauce. I actually stopped playing for almost a year, then started playing again right before foots started. But this time I'm in it more for entertainment. I fuk around now more with props and crazy ML pars than I ever did before. The sauce would be harder to give up since it is a fairly big interest of the current gf. We actually don't drink that often any more. But when the gate is open, go on a big run. I'm finding more and more that I'm getting bored of drinking. I get nothing out of it.:shrug: Can't possibly top the stories/stupid things I've done drunk to this point. Not bored of making friendly/crazy wagers.
And I need to keep drinking on occasion in case Extrap comes back and posts again.

Isn't it "six IN one; half dozen IN the other"?
If I have 6 apples and a half dozen oranges, those aren't exactly the same thing....
I always thought it was "of".:shrug: ...Wow, what a dull topic, but I'm going to find out....

"Six of one, half-dozen of the other" says that two things which people refer to differently are actually the same thing. A "dozen" is a counting word that represents twelve (12) of some particular item, so a "half-dozen" is equal to six (6) of that item, and saying "six of one" is equal to saying "a half-dozen of the other." The "one" and the "other" refer to the two things which you are saying are not so different. Example: "I say she's a stewardess. She says she's a flight attendant. It's six of one, a half-dozen of the other." Although something has been said in two different ways, they ultimately mean the same thing.
It figures - you Southerners don't know how to turn a proper phrase. ...Oh great, what the hell is "turn a phrase" exactly?
I'm kind of with you on the drinking. The great stories are in the past there's not much else good that comes of it.....outside of MJ events of course.

Hmm. I see their point, but I still don't buy it.
Oh yeah, I have that Southern hard-headed thing, too.
