Palm Tree

I've only gone up like 20 I think its safe to say I'll never be in the top 10 again. People i don't even recognize have almost as much posts as I do lol

I think the saying says the Willow Tree not the Cocunut Tree.

Sorry Monroe It's us whipper-snapper upstarts.

I know! Who are you? You only post in the trek subjects? Cause I usually only post in the nonTrek threads

What can I say? This is the only forum I'm a member of.

Yes, I actually know what a palm tree is. I even tried to google that particular saying. Fair to say it didn't show up

American idioms are the bane of my life, though.

Beware, my idioms are far, far greater and more terrible than anything you could possibly have in your arsenal. Google 'Yorkshire', or something

I wasn't using the saying, I was using my own analogy. Besides, a palm is way more flexible than a willow.

That's probably why you don't know me, yeah. I got into gi-normous back and forths with Rochey and Seafort about the Federation not being one big pile of suck (paraphrasing of course) across multiple Trek topics. That's where I started out. I didn't get into the more off topic areas till more recently, when the Trek discussion went off a cliff, I got into the politics and what not. Just checked out this area very recently, last few days.

That sounds like a challenge.

You could always retract that; remember that "a stitch in time saves nine".

You won't beat this.

I've said before, but Patrick Stewart (Captain Picard) comes from Yorkshire, and indeed from my very hometown. He's chancellor of my local university, too, and I've 'met' him there.

In fact, on that wikipedia page (completely coincidentally), I found this;

# Star Trek: The Next Generation - In episode 156 & 157 Gambit, Captain Jean-Luc Picard, played by Yorkshireman Patrick Stewart, bears a distinct Huddersfield accent.

Look at my location.

How's that make you feel knowing someone born in England has a frenchie name in the future?

Isn't that some sort of injoke? The fact he's French yet is the most English crewmember onboard?

Pride cometh before a fall, Thorin.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were proposing a duel of axioms, idioms, colloquialisms, etc.
