up the river

to the woodpile

to the doghouse

I know it will seem mighty odd for me to be saying this, but...

Good to see you back on the board again. I hope you are feeling better.

Thanks again for the warm welcome back, TrossL.

In the shit house?

Gone to the whoopin' post?

Don't forget "trouble right here in River City."

OH yes, very good! How could I not have mentioned that previously? My father has been in that play 6 times throughout my life, always as the same part - the bass in the school board. I've known those lyrics since I could speak. Thanks, Tinster!

- crusing for a bruising
- hurtin' for certain

(More rhyming phrases like this are on the tip of my tongue, but I can't think of them.)
