"She puts the 'alas' in Alaska".

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

Cribbed from some anonymous internet wit. :rofl:

Welp, that's all I got! :shrug:

1. She jumped the shark too soon.

I was hoping she'd win the 2012 nomination. When all my left-leaning coworkers were freaking out after her nomination, I was the contrarian who had to give the pep talks.

She's just way too much fun to leave the scene just yet.

13. Oh, you can bet

she won't be leaving the scene. She loves the spotlight way too much.

She couldn't let Michael Jackson steal all the glory now, could she? She HAD to do something to woo the media back.

I wish more than anything that she would just go back to Wasilla with her family and disappear from our consciousness, but I don't see that happening any time soon. Her talk of an unspecified "higher calling" makes me uneasy.

2. More like the "ass" (took the liberty to add an s!)

3. Way over my head

must explain to country boy!

11. If you're not familiar with the expression/term 'alas', I'm not sure I can really translate.

I suppose some examples in context might help. If I can think of some good ones I'll come back and post them as a reply to your post.

Some talking head will pick that one up.

5. Yeah, but who puts the ska in Alaska?

[TahitiNut]

16. If Alaska were male, it'd be called Alaski.

Them's the rules. :shrug:

18. Or Alascus if you want to do the Latin thang.

Alaska is female, right? ;)

6. Who would have thought

7. I Worry For A Country

in which someone like her got as close
as she did. I can't help but feel that
somewhere a village is missing it's Avon Lady.

8. Probably not the ska at any rate.
