Yes, we are definitely enroute to perdition in substandard drayage! –Adrift on the wastewater flow without an implement of self-generated propulsion! –Left at an elevated location, entirely arid! –Granted sexual favors by the local sovereign or a member of his immediate family! That is all. ---

Hmm, see how many I can figure out: We’re going to hell in a handbasket. We’re up shit creek without a paddle. Um, left out to dry on a mountain? No idea. Screwed by the king and the dukes? Again nada. The caffeine hasn’t kicked in. Then there’s: Fornicating the canine of doubtful ancestry. ---

We are tardy by a period of twenty-four hours, and lacking eight bits toward sufficient funds! ---

You might elect to attempt aerial coition with a continuously axially reoriented and linearly displaced toroidal pastry. ---

Hee hee! Never heard that one. Much more colorful than a simple flying fuck. (and much more athletic.) Post #5: “tore up from the floor up.” We are experiencing challenges in the practical application of discernment vis a vis our anterior surface, and the realtime result of experimental excavation. ---

I’ve been royally fucked, up shit creek without a paddle and left high and dry all in the same day, but never had it so elegantly defined. ---

Ah! Ignorance fought. I thought there was some kind of dual diacritical mark thing going on with that phrase that I was ignoring. Had I known it was simple hyphens, I would have done it properly. I love hyphens. They’re like the safety pins of language. Oh, and thank you. 🙂 ---

You’re welcome! Please tell me what it means, the practical application of discernment thing! It’s driving me crazy! ---

To put it another way, We have insufficient information at the present time to make an arbitrary committment regarding the matter of the fundament with respect to the quarry. ---

Whoa, sorry, we had a simulpost incident there, and I’ve only just noticed your request. I can be clumsy like that. Sometimes, I can’t tell my ass from a hole in the ground. 😃 ---
