It's the principle's principle to principally endorse the principle of Lews, the principal culprit. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Let' go Simpson's:

It's my first day!

It was like thet when I came here!

An excuse is a courtesy that's always late.

An excuse is the best way to have the last word!

I just want to play a little while on the computer and then I'll mow the lawn.
a little while later
I promise as soon as I finish just this one quest I'll mow the lawn.
a little while later
I said I'd do it--as soon as I make it safely out of Stormfist castle.
a little while later
Well its too dark out to mow now; I'll do it tomorrow.

come on, u aphoristic people, u can do better than that! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> there must be more excuse-related aphorisms out there than we thought exist.

come on now, no excuses. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

1-Excuses are like [nocando], everyone has one.

2-An excuse is the mark of a moral coward.

3-Please excuse the length of this letter; I do not have time to be brief.

4-Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.

Why don't you do it?

The dog ate my homework.

It was your fault.

[color:"orange"]From hollow heads comes a lot of resonance.
(I should mention that this is a translation of a saying attributed to a young (*1976) German aphorician named Alexander Eilers.)[/color]

Thanks Fafnir!

Unfortunately we seem to have fallen in the void in this thread - so this be the next topic:

CHAOS!

The scientist brings order into chaos - the researcher creates chaos.

Chaos is the order of whoever created it.

I hate chaos - but what can I do? It loves me.

RIP thread!
