Difference between revisions of "At the same time"

Revision as of 22:30, 7 February 2009

So, I was thinking. People talk about "you can't walk and chew gum at the same time" (which isn't true) or "you can't pat your head and rub your stomach at the same time" (which isn't true either)

They also say "you can't have your cake and eat it at the same time" (a slight modification, but it will do) which is only true if you're talking about the whole cake.

Well how about the brothers coming up with some really difficult "at the same time" sayings, and then thinking about how to actually accomplish them. It sounds like some of the discussions we have, and we could illustrate some cool thoughts, and differences in how the brothers approach things.

1. You can't drive a bus and play golf at the same time
   • Ziggy's thoughts: Refit the buss so the steering wheel is on the roof, where there is a tee. Steer with one hand, swing the club with the other.
   • Hugh's thoughts: Diving out the window of a moving bus, weilding a golf club, tossing up a golfball and about to whack it out of the air, while the bus (full of explosives) zooms off of a cliff, into a volcano!
   • Zack's thoughts: skidding a bus sideways so the back end swings around and putts the ball into the hole. His caddy is holding the flag, and running for cover.
   • Oswald's thoughts: Riding a horse in a cowboy outfit. One pistol blazing in the air, while shooting the golfball with the other. He is driving (with the help of some sheepdogs) an entire herd of living busses over the course.
2. You can't paint a masterpiece and juggle five potatoes at the same time
3. You can't ride an elephant and bake cookies at the same time
4. You can't eat a pancake and save dolphins at the same time
5. You can't run from the law and run for president at the same time
6. You can't take a shower and visit with your grandmother at the same time
7. You can't build a computer, and compete in olympic ice skating at the same time
