    In the spirit of Max's love of animal cruelty -

    I had to look it up. It means that the person is so dumb he could hide the eggs and forget where they are. That's pretty good.

    when we were teenagers and used to come home later my mother used to say

    oh look what the cat dragged in (not a clue what that meant)

    and my favorite - it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye (LOL I tell my kids that too sometimes)

    Haven't you ever had a cat drag in a mouse or a bird that is still alive? I've had that happen several times. They like to play with them, so they bring them in the house where they won't escape. "What the cat dragged in" is likely a roughed-up, sad type of creature.

    Anyone else ever hear, "Better than a poke in the eye with a blunt stick"?
