Can you figure out which on is a Fiber One bar and which one is a pile of sticks?

It's a trick question. They are both piles of sticks. Nice try though.

No reliable sources, but several "forum-style" sites have said the saying originated in 1948. They say it could have something to do with women being smart. Women were referred to as "cookies" back then. That's just what I read.

On a separate note, "nimrod" has not always meant stupid. It used to mean something along the lines of "great outdoorsman" until Elmer Fudd changed the meaning.

On a more serious note...how did One Smart Cookie ever become a saying? Was there once in history a cookie which became, or appeared to be educated? Was it some saying conjured up by our ancestors who dwelled amongst intelligent forms of delicious chocolate-chiped treats? I must get to the bottom of this. Please excuse me.

Makes sense to me. If we dwell among smart trash cans, our ancestors might have dwelt among smart cookies.

My husband and I went out for a fancy anniversary dinner last night - the restaurant had a "tasting menu" which was 4 courses and you didn't know what you were getting until they put it in front of you. You can tell them any strong dislikes but after that it's "Chef's choice". Anyway - the pork belly course had little pieces of rhubarb in it. It made me giggle.

Goes to show that we've discussed such a vast array of topics in this Saget thread...it is a part of your life no matter what you're doing.

That was us. We found out about your anniversary dinner, and we had the chef include some of your (and our) favorite food - rhubarb. Just a little gift from us to you.

PS- Happy anniversary!

Learn something new everyday. I thought it had something to do with fortune cookies and "Confucious says (insert fortune here)".

If I had a dime for every time I've almost said "I blame Meg" or "I BM", I'd have well over 1 dollar.

I'm currently in the process of writing a horror novel (inspired by @PUSH ) that is due out by Halloween. It's a lot like Stephen King's The Shining. I'm calling it: The Blaming. It's basically about a woman under siege of constant blamage. Yes, I just said blamage. It is a word. You'll find it a lot in The Blaming. I don't want to spoil too much of the ending, but just a hint: She will be blamed. If you're interested in pre-ordering a copy, send me a PM along with $19.99 (non-refundable). Will ship in late Oct.

I'm kinda on a tight budget for this project, so it'll pretty much be a group of papers stapled at the top.

I know I'm getting tired because I totally read this as "a grouper of papers". :confused: It must have been the shark-underwater thing. (A grouper of papers would be gross though.) And yes I accidentally indented all that. I BM. (which means I'm going to bed in 15 minutes) I'm trying to make myself stay awake for the rest of the game. :in pain: Yawn.​
