By popular demand - Favorite Cliché has won out in the desired Potential Poll Tourney Poll (a.k.a. the P.P.T.P.) So, get your nominations in! 20 is the limit per poster.

Guidelines:
-Nominate 20 of your favorite cliches (i.e. "Another day, another dollar", "Barking up the wrong tree", "Time is money", etc.) I will post some sites later for those who may need help calling clichés to mind.
-The 64 most nominated clichés will earn a spot in the "Favorite Cliché Tournament". With any runover clicés being put into a "runoff" bracket DEPENDING on whether the number is suitable for a tournament bracket.

The nomination process will last no longer than August 2nd, 2012 3:00 PM EST so be sure to get your nominations in. If the nomination process should slow considerably before then, then the tournament may start prematurely.

Have fun! And to the future nominees, I say: It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings.

My nursing instructor gave our class some parting words of wisdom:

"Always void after sex"

My other nominations, mainly ones I live by:

Take care of the pennies, and the dollars will take care of themselves
All you need in business is a nice suit and a nice smile
A stitch in time saves nine
Speak softly and carry a big stick
When you hear hoofbeats, look for horses, not zebras.

That's a good start.

I'll post more at a later date like Thok but:

It is impossible for one to learn that which he believes he already knows.

"Always void after sex" -- my, that is entirely too true.

Time is money
Stitch in time saves nine
Mountains out of molehills
Penny wise, pound foolish.

I'm wondering what the new deadline should be (considering this one has brought out so few noms) to maybe rope in a bit more so we can have a substantial tournament. Not to bag or knock, but the small candidate list we have just wouldn't seem worth orchestrating a tourney with. I'm wondering in part if the small turnout for PT has just been due to the GL being in somewhat of an offseason and the school and work schedules just not being as fervent yet to want to make people procrastinate to easily accessed sites like this one. (When not on vacation or lounging elsewhere) Revenge most foul!

Maybe something in late Sept. or Oct.?

It'd be a shame to see this place die...

I really want to know how "cliche" directed them here. Regardless, this new level of bot certainly brings entertainment to the forum. If only I could find the job that pays me to post random things like that...
