The freaking halarious editorial piece that appeared january 1, 2008 in the opinion section of the Los Angeles Times (http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-ed-cliches1jan01,0,1115330.story?coll=la-opinion-leftrail) who has no author talks about the cliches that people have been using for what has seemed to be centuries now. Phrases that even Jesus himself would tell his friends. Some such like ¨Thing outside the box¨ or ¨Too much information¨. The editorial makes one think of why not change all the old sayings from 2007, and begin some new ones, become more original with ourselves. Since we as young kids would try to look up to someone else, why not have someone look up to us, not just because we have gotten ideas from our friends, but as well because we should have some type of landmark, something original that someone would be able to remember us by, its time to ¨THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!!!¨
-Do you know any phrases that have seriously been overused?
-Now that we are going to begin our new year, do you have something in mind to change about yourself, to be stand outside of th croud?

- Well it seems like we have to write [well type] something about us here. Where to start? Well, alright, i am 16, almost 17, and well i love to play baseball,-best sport ever-favorite team, Angles. Well i love to just hang around, joking around with people that have the same interest. I love anything that has to do technology, if its on the market, i should know about it [i hope]. Well school is awesome, I'm in what is the best relationship ever, and going to beat the "good things always come to an end" saying. I would put like personal things here, but my teacher told me not to, so what can i do? but even if we could, i wouldn't, other than that, there is nothing more. Talk to you soon people.

let me start off by saying: LOL
aaahahaha cliche or what? i mean i loove it! i should just go marry it shouldn't i? syke! moded! ahaha bringin back the old-school trite-ness, yes i did (i'm aware that is not a word). you member? i member...
what the heck is a blue-ribbon panel though?
oooh ooh ooh how aboooout: think outside the taco? (you know, say it to washington officials who love imperialism in latin america?)
lol... this article is really funny...I think those little sayings aren't that bad...because since their used so much people know what you're talking about when you use them
Hmm..mind-blowing article..pretty funny..but what's so bad about using "old" phrases?..If u think about it every generation adds a little "flare" to all these sayings..giving them some originality..plus, it's not like we don't come up with anything new..example: Paris Hilton "That's Hott"..who would have said this during the early 1900s?..really..i can't even imagine somebody saying "Think outside the box" during the 18th century..everyone just seemed soo proper..get my point?
