Create An Idiom, What Phobia Are You?, What Engineers Do When Snowbound, Safari and We Should All Be Worried
Well here we go again. Not choices that I would choose but ya gotta go with what they choose. Fear of spiders…pffft… or better yet: When the Devil rides to work on a snow mobile.
Now you might be thinking, Where did you ever get When the Devil rides to work on a snow mobile? Well direct from Dr. John at Dr. John’s Fortress – The Devil Rides comes the following:
Something just seems to lodge in my head.
This time it’s a new phrase that Argent’sWhen the Devil rides to work on a snow mobile.
It would replace the old “ When hell freezes over”.
It’s new. Its lighter. It has a better feel but it means the same thing.
Suppose, for example, you were a liberal Democrat and somebody asked are you going to vote for Sarah Palin in the next Presidential election?
You could respond “ Ya sure when the devil rides to work on a snow mobile.”
Or if you were a conservative Republican and somebody asked if you intended to vote for Obama the next time around.
You could respond “ Ya sure when the devil rides to work on a snow mobile.”
What I want to do is get the phrase out into general usage.
I need you to put it on your blog with a call to replace “ When Hell freezes over with it”
This is our chance to create an idiom.
Come join me.
Don’t wait until “The Devil rides to work on a snow mobile.“”
I love it so I’m joining in the fun. So Pffft and Bite Me ya got company now. Mahalo Dr. John.

You Are Arachnophobia |
 You are the fear of spiders. You have a heightened intuition, and you usually rely on it to guide you. If something freaks you out or bothers you, you figure there must be a reason for it. |

I am posting this to make people aware. This is a scary thought that it is this easy. Please pay close attention. This is no joke, it’s nothing sexual or adult oriented, it’s a fact of life.

Hey, it’s only my opinion.
A Hui Hou
“as a fantasy at wish time.”
as in “My battery’s as dead as a fantasy at wish time.”
or how about “As contrary as mule in roller skates?”
Any one of them works for me. I like all 3 of them
Well, shoot! I clicked and now I’m a little freaked out. I’m going for a walk to clear my head!
Scary isn’t it. I just got back from my walk as well
Not sure if you ever have occasion to watch Sponge Bob Square Pants, or know who Patrick is. There is an episode where Patrick is dreaming about spiders and beating the living crap out of Sponge Bob with a huge rock, trying to kill the spiders.
I am Patrick.
On the very rare occasion that I have a nightmare, it’s usually about spiders, and my husband has been known to get a vicious pillow in the face once or twice as I try to fend them off.
My kids think this is a scream.
My husband takes days to stop twitching.
Hrm. This would make a fun post for today!
I saw that it did…what about Charlotte of Charlotte’s Web? Is she as scary? LOL
Thom: Just a quick note before I leave for the day…
check your email…

one from me with an attachment I made for you.
Thank you my friend. I got it and love it
Mahalo 
My phobia really is spiders!! They seem to drop in front of me when I least expect it or when I am driving. Freaks me out. LOL
Yeah I’m not a big fan of them either LOL
I’m lost but that’s not unusual.
Happy Woo Wooing ROFLMAO
Our minds are running in the same channel again, that last picture of the woman in the bush country? I have it scheduled for later this week. How many times has this happened? What is it with us???? Great minds think alike, I guess. Hope you have a great day, Thom!

ROFLMAO!!! I’m in great company with you my friend
I had a professor in college who was a walking encyclopedia of idioms. he knew them all and their meanings and when they became popular… It was incredibly interesting. And idioms are a dying breed. Many youngins have no clue what most idioms mean! Great of you to pitch in and revive these classic phrases
I know that you’re not going to wait until the devil rides to work on a snow mobile to get the ball moving on idioms– you can bet your sweet bottom!
JM
Wow can you imagine know that kind of thing. I love idioms my self. Well this was all thanks to Dr. John. I love the one he came up with
Dr. John is one sharp fellow – I like it!
The engineer video was super. They had way too much time on their hands and looking at the window at the end – didn’t look snowbound to me. Engineering excuse.
The Should We Be Worried was quite scary but the safari pic was just too funny.
ROFLMAO!!! You are certainly right about the excuse. Isn’t that Should Be Worried just scary? Boy I can just imagine. And to think it looks just like a pen. Glad you enjoyed my friend
Things like that don’t scare me. I will go when God says it’s my time to go… and actually, if I am vaporized in a split second, that seems like a fairly NICE way to go to me! No pain. No suffering. I would be far more worried about being captured and tortured!
AND having said that… that stupid test said that:
You Are Necrophobia
You are the fear of death.
You are type of person who doesn’t fear much… even if you are scared of dying.
Unlike most people, you truly understand that you will die one day. Even if it terrifies you!
You try to face your fears and live in the moment. As long as you don’t die, you’ll be okay.
Wrong, wrong, wrong and WRONG! I have absolutely no fear of death whatsoever! I do pray I don’t suffer in the process… but death? I welcome it when it is my time.
I like you am not afraid of death either. When my time is up…so be it. Being vaporized would be the way to go if ya ask me
Death is part of life I say
That video was something edlse! Talk about time on your hands…
Isn’t that the truth. I tell ya something else
sa i already said, that’s a clever idiom
the safari pic is too funny
as for that video, i can’t shed a feeling it was constructed to freak people out. fear is the best way to control masses and i don’t tink it’s as simple as it looks. first, what are the two components? i take it they can’t be just purchased on the open market and that vanishing watermelon looked to me like a bad trick. there are surely other potentially more lethal weapons in the circulation so i don’t suppose this is something to lose any sleep over. but hey, it’s just my opinion
oh, the quiz? what a stupid thing, being a phobia. but what i got describes me quite well, i think
You Are Claustrophobia
You are the fear of enclosed places.
You demand a lot of freedom in your life. It freaks you out to have too many restrictions or limits.
You don’t really seek out responsibilities or commitments. You like to keep your life spontaneous.
It’s easy for you to feel smothered. A lot of relationships and situations make you feel claustrophobic.
The whole point about that to me is just to show how crap like that can be disguised. I mean in a pen? It is just scary to me out there that it’s so easy to do it. I just wanted to make everyone aware is all.
I like your quiz. That fits me pretty well I think, in fact it does describe me. EXACTLY!!!
Thank you! Thank you!
Not for the phobia though I ended up with a fear of high places.
Most welcome my friend.
I’m not a downloader, so as usual missed out on half the post LOL oh poor me. I’ll remember to use the Devil’s snowmobile phrase on the blog, promise! I see you already spread it to Quilly’s comments.
I don’t think people get the quiz: it’s not what phobia you *have*, it’s what phobia you *are*, just a personality profile.
Well thank you for clearing that up. I didn’t get the damn thing from the beginning LOL.
Damn I wish you could download this stuff. Can you open it if I send it via email?
Thom, the video is sobering, but not worrisome or scary. Before I was born God knew the number of my days. I will not die one minute before my time, and when I do, I will see my Savior face to face and that will be beautiful. So I’m okay with it.
However, if it is used against one of my children, I will hunt the *&$*&#(‘s down and make sure they understand my pain.
I like your explanation very well and your mothering instincts are right on. Love this comment my friend
Right on the money
You Are Acrophobia
You are the fear of heights.
It’s likely that you expect bad things to happen to you. You often feel unlucky.
It would be just your luck to fall from a high spot… and you’re not going to chance it.
You tend to be pretty risk adverse. You rather be safe than sorry.
Totally me, I would be the one to fall 10,000 feet and LIVE! And suffer, be deformed, broken bones that never heal, stuck on machines….. if I ever do fall I better Die from it!LMAO!
xoxoxoxox
You and me both…Die baby die if that ever happened to me. It’s like someone who commits suicide and fails…what a bummer LOL Can you imagine?
This is so wrong!
You Are Claustrophobia

It’s easy for you to feel smothered. A lot of relationships and situations make you feel claustrophobic.
I am not worried. I refuse to live my life in fear. If I live expecting die at every moment I would have nothing to show for my years but a list of worries that kept me from going or doing or trying.
Well, I might skip that “taking a dump in the Africian
I’m not saying that we have to live one’s life in fear. It’s scary that this can be done so easy. That’s what I was trying to get. And I think yours describes me very well
LOL…taking a dump…your killing me here 
Only you would be creative enough to make your own idiom lol
I don’t think I have to take this quiz…I know arachnophobia tops my chart!!!!
I wish I could take credit for this one but I can’t. It’s from Dr. John
He did great with it 
LOL…I’m sure they do after reading some of your posts LOL
I’m Mysophobia, but a control freak?
My connection is too slow for the video to play, but I noticed the beast behind here and it’s not worrying me, it scared me!
LOL…you are just too funny LOL
