Artemis Rain gets the award for coming closest to the deadline. Whoa, babe. Hopefully this prompt will cause less last minute panicitis. Once again, a mangled saying has floated to the top.

Revenge is bliss

Interesting. Hmm.

Though not sure I can do this week either since last week of school and MAJOR last minute panicitis. Plus next-next monday is a finale exam. *Gulp* 4 hours. Yay. One hour written and three for a umh hands-on thing.

Yikes on that prompt. Uh. Okay, well, I'll see what I can do. I don't see that being Hired Man. I was going to try to do something about Seven though...

Ha! Thanks a lot! Once again, I barely made it in time! (I really need to get one of those not-so-busy lives. You happen to know if there are any up for grabs? On Ebay maybe?)

I think this prompt will be a lot easier. I'm already toying with a couple of ideas, so at least I won't spend Saturday night trying to come up with something AND writing it in the space of a few hours. :D

I really like these mangled sayings. usually have fun with them. my only problem is usually that I don't know how the real saying goes. I wouldn't even know these sayings were mangled if I hadn't been told so. once more one of the sides of being a non-native speaker *g*

Again a busy week. Hopefully will find time to write...

The two original sayings here are

Revenge is a dish best served cold
(If you're going to get revenge, it's best to wait and catch the person totally unaware)

and

Ignorance is bliss
(if you don't know something's wrong, you can't stress over it.)

I don't know if that helps or not, but this comm is certainly giving you a lesson or two in colloquial English, isn't it?

[piksa.livejournal.com]

Yes, I've definitely learned a lot in this com. And will keep learning. No plans giving up now *g*

Now that you told me what the sayings were I must admit that I've heard them before but my brain didn't connect them earlier.
