    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)

    Personally I love all the sayings that peope use to discribe someone that might be a touch insane, or not as smart as they could be. My FAVORITE is the wheel is turning but the hampster is dead.

    lol... cats drag in the most dead of animals.... Usually after killing it themselves... What does that say about your mother?

    I'm sure it's not old... dumber than a box of rocks...

    Or when I worked in retail, and we had a weirdo or crazy person (or someone we just didn't like)... We'd call them a fruit pie...

    "No comments from the peanut gallery"


    Have no clue what that means.

    From the Howdy Doody show I think.

    This hails back to the stage, when understudies would learn all the lines with the lead actor. If the lead actor could not act for some reason (ie, they had broken their leg), the understudy would take over the part..
