I came here to say that. Anytime one of us is leaving the house to do something specific like work, overthrow a dictator, etc. one of us will say that. Naturally followed by
"you think it'll work?"
"it'll take a miracle"

"Dirtier than your grandmother"

It's from a fight that happened in the pits after a race at Caraway Speedway.

Abridged version, there was a crash, then a fight and then one driver (Davin Scites) is pulling out of the track with his trailer, his dad is in the passenger seat. Second drivers (Jason York's) father shouts at the truck: "You're dirty, you're a dirty racer Davin Scites!" Davin's father "Your grandmother is dirtier than my son will ever be!" 

Total Classic, Davin didn't even slow down, nor was he rushing off, when this went down. For the record I was on Davin's side, he pulled off a great move then Jason wrecked him.

*After a big meal*

"Glad I ate when I did, cause I'm not a bit hungry now."

We also always made fun of Aunt Charlotte because she had this nasal, sharp voice.  After a meal she would try to get us all to take home the leftover pie and she would always say "I don't like day-old pie."  It was her way of being insistent and generous by trying to make us believe she wouldn't eat it.  It's just the way her nasaly voice would say it.

My grandfather would often look at a cloudy sky and say "if it doesn't rain, it's missing a great opportunity."

Another one from Grandpa is "speaking of groundhogs..."  He was sitting talking with my dad on the farm about tractors or hunting or something that wasn't groundhogs.  In the middle of the conversation he said, "speaking of groundhogs," but no one had said a thing about groundhogs.  Total non-sequitur.  Now when anyone in the family wants to change the subject they always say, "speaking of groundhogs."

My sister and BIL were always very good, calm parents to my nephews, and the boys were aways pretty well-behaved.  If they did something bad, the repurcussion was usually removing a privilege and they would say it like "you're off TV for the rest of the night," or "you're off screens."  Carter was chasing Morgan one day with a stick and poking him (they were like 3 and 5).  My BIL told them to stop and Carter said "what... am I off sticks now?"  Now when someone does something dumb in the family, that phrase comes out.  Mom was parallel parking the car and hit the curb and one of us said "mom, you're off driving."

"That's the news from Lake Wobegon."  We all listened to that show on the car radio for 20 years.  Now that's an indication that we're out of things to say on the phone.

One year for Christmas my wife and I decided to get each other half a canoe. But with one thing and another we never got around to buying it. So afterwards we laughed at the money we had saved although we did get one eventually. But 20 years later when one of us has the other what they want for a birthday or Christmas the answer is usually 'how about another canoe?'

E36 M3 in one hand and hope in the other and see which one fills up first.

 

Never confuse knowledge with intelligence.

 

My favorite....   not sharing a drink is like eating ass and not willing to use somebody else's toothbrush the next morning.

 

That'll buff out.

Used when somebody enters a room just as the conversation ends and asks about the conversation or when they didn't hear something and ask you to repeat it.

"...but it ain't no Get Carter."

We saw the Sylvester Stallone movie at the theatre - whenever we see something with 'great stinkiosity' it's always referenced against Get Carter.
