Bled and Bohinj really are beautiful
the other stuff, not so much...
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
That is an awesome saying!!! I'm going to use that one. Better than Even the sun shines on a dog's ass every once in a while.
Make sure you give duncan228 credit when you use it, though.
wow those are picturesque...
: : : I heard an interesting phrase yesterday.
: : : : "Even a broken clock is right twice a day"
: : : : No origin needed. But under what cir stance would you use this phrase.
: : : : Is it wit or profound?
: : : : Thanks
: : : It's been around a long time. You use it when a poor thinker--or someone who always harps on the same message--happens to have spoken the truth this time because of sheer luck or because cir stances have changed. Or you use it to dismiss someone you don't like; = "Just because he's right this once doesn't mean he knows how to reason."
: : : Wit vs. profound? Hard to say--and how much of a difference is there anyway? I suppose it was witty the first time it was said.
: : Even a blind hog finds an acorn ever once in a while.
: The sun's got to shine on a dog's ass some time.
And the sun's gonna shine in my backdoor someday. (Jerry Lee Lewis)

Jay-Z feat. Lenny Kravitz
Blueprint 2 - The Gift and The Curse (2002)
"Guns & Roses"
Yeah it's magic
Uhh, Jay-Z and Lenny Kravitz
And it's a Heavy D production you bas s
Come on
Ha hey yo stop playin man
This is real serious
Ha (It's the rock) yeah yo
[Jay-Z]
Post Postatono, Hov' hangin with Bono
You too can live like Salvatore Ferragamo
And you too can cool out poolside after Delano
And you too flow like you was out of your mind yo
And who knew dude who loved apple pies from McDonalds
Would soon be the boss of the Big Apple, ya know
And who knew dude would play ball for the NBA
Would make a mistake on the who know it stayed still in the way
Who knew that would be his last shot, who drew up that play
They giveth and they taketh life is cool that way
But even a broken clock is right two times a day
You could have turned Guns into Roses like two times today
Now there's something you gotta say two times to Jay
I got my shades on waiting for the sun to shine my way
Got my boom box, suntan lotion waiting for action
Its safe when you play with skills, good luck could happen
Let's go

Oh wow! It wasn't duncan228, it was Jay Z all along! What a clever and original wordsmith he is.
It's not like this is a figure of speech that's been around for decades. Some dip rapper who rhymes "ya know" with "McDonalds" thought of it first.
Sheesh, I guess I need to be a little more liberal with the blue ink for the remedial Spurstalk students.
Even after I posted the "origin" of it,(which there doesn't seem to be because it's been around forever), I could still take credit for it around here!
Your blue ink idea is sounding good!
holy crap, that's gorgeous! Is that in Slovenia? We have a lot of beautiful scenery here in Argentina, but damn those are beautiful!
Closest thing to something like that here is south of Bariloche.
Here's a bigger pic

Wow, that`s awesome!
Too bad Jay-Z should stick to pimpin hoes and whatnot.
The correct phrasing is "Even a stopped clock is right twice a day."
Broken can mean many things.
Those are awesome pics, Slomo. Thanks for that! (especially since it's like a sauna here today in SA).
"I bet I can throw a football over that mountain."
Since Jay-Z invented the phrase and all.
Aight listen here clowns.
I wasn't tryin to say Jay Z is the innovator of philosophical idioms and what not, I was just referencing the aforementioned phrase in a song that I like. All ya'll need to get your panties out of a bunch. It must be a boring summer cause most of you are looking for anything to post on, including bashing your fellow fans. By doing that, you are only bringing down the integrity of this forum. And that my friends, is a damn shame.
