View Full Version : There is no "I" in "team"
What other platitudes or axioms get on your nerves?
-OC
i didn't see any teamwork in the 80s trivia. i guess you had to point out your sheer hatred of that one :P

They all get on my nerves. Every last one of them. Maybe it's because they're a convenient way for complete idiots to try to sound like they know what they're talking about. Or maybe I'm just a little bit on the grumpy side. But I think its the former.

There may not be an I in team, but there sure as hell is in Win.

Ya know, if it makes more than one glass, it's too much!

You know, if it's how you played the game... Well, most likely if you played well, you won. Purpose defeated.

"why would he buy the cow if he can get the milk for free?"
i love it when catty women sit around and speculate about some other woman being a slut... also, anything that advocates withholding sex in exchange for a false sense of personal security is just sooooo healthy.
(disclaimer: saving yourself for marriage is fine. i don't think there's anything wrong with it. there's just something very wrong about the sentiments behind that saying. okay? okay.)

Ha ha ha... my nephew said this one day after losing rather badly at excitebike on N64. My sister (not his mom, a different sister) responded with "thats just something the losers say to each other to make each other feel better".

I an not buying the cow until I'm sure the milk is not sour! ;)

I won't buy the cow until I'm reasonably certain it will continue to provide milk for many, many years. It's a sad, sad story. A farmer buys a cow and milks it. After a few months or a year the cow stops producing, so the farmer decides to sell the cow and give away half his posessions for the hell of it. Then it starts all over again, for both the farmer and the cow. The end result? A poor, lonely farmer that could never get it right and a rich, lonely cow that left a string of poor farmers in her wake.
When will the cycle stop?
-OC
ps - damn, where did that come from ?!?

But I like corny sayings. Most stupid peope don't know how to argue against them very well. One good platitude can stop them in their tracks.

-OC and what about the lonely cows left in the wake of the farmer?
ok, here are some of mine:
winning isn't everything
no...but i wouldn't make losing a goal.
(explanation of their own misfortune, followed by), if that makes you feel any better)
...umm...no. no misfortune is not gonna make my ass feel any better. ever. thanks for trying, but now i'm more convinced of the futility of it all. i think i'll drink some bleach.
she doesn't know what she's missing
i get the feeling she doesn't care. ignorance is bliss. take your pick.
it's her (or whomever's) loss
gee, then why am i the one that feels bad? go figure. genius. go tell your mom she's calling you.

Is there? Is there a Me in team? Is there? A me? In team, I mean? Is there?

Heh... Merlin and Loki said the same thing above. :hihi: chris explained it pretty well with "There may not be an I in team, but there sure as hell is in Win."
or how about: there's no "i" in team, but there is in "axis of just as evil."
Once my coach said to the team, "There is no I in Team." I pipe up "There's an I in win". He wasn't too pleased.

Despair.com is hilarious, I just wish their stuff wasn't so darn spendy.
"We can't spell FAILURE without U R A!"
"For every winner, there are dozens of losers. Odds are, you're one of them"
"That which does not kill me postpones the inevitable"
