Maybe those phrases are cliches because they are useful?

Much of this post is way too cliched (gotta find that accent!), but I love it. Call me sappy, but a lot of this stuff makes me get teary. Race well! and yes, I say, “puke your guts out” in NJ.

Hey, if you build up the nerve to leave a “2″ underneath, make it small, that’s the new Fleet Feet Incorporated’s corporate headquarters in the second picture. While I hate graffiti (so anonymous and often defacing) I haven’t covered up this one yet, we actually got 2, one on the entrance and one on the exit columns because I sort of like the idea.

We never said “puke” (I think of that as southern);
we said “barf” … talk about onomotopoeia!

The good thing about endings is that it gives us a chance to have new Beginnings!!

I grew up in Colorado, (not what I would call the mid-west, though some would call it that. I hear the midwest used for everything from Ohio to Colorado from Wisconsin to Texas.) Back home we used “____your guts out!” Lately that has been used to describe my 1/2 mile intervals, as in “run my guts out,” followed by “puke my guts out!”

I was so happy to see the phrase cliche “fold up the tents” in your post! That is one of my favorites - right behind “circle the wagons” and “low hanging fruit”.
