This blog is, slowly but surely, becoming just another list of rants fuled by some pedestrian mind out to make moot points about social workings. Let me explain.
Today I did a simple yahoo search (because here at my father's store, he is missing the google search bar at the tiop of the screen and I prefer not to search for another search engine--even though eventually I did try google as well) to try and find the origins of the saying "pushing up daisies" which we all know to mean "to be dead".
On any other day this would have yielded a few crap links and a few desirable outcomes--fruits for my labor. Not today..jpg)
Instead I was assaulted by 11 pages of links and blog posts about a Television show conveniently called "Pushing Daisies". I tried every variation of the search that I could think of--evenh using the dreaded exact quotes to seek out specific phrases and to no avail.
Seriously, what the hell do the people who make these search engines think all day? That by searching "pushing up the daisies" saying origins, what I really mean is TV show "Pushing Daisies". Go to hell, google and your sponsored links takign precedence over helpful items.
I gave up after thirty minutes of trying.
And apparently the show "Pushing Daisies" is pushing up the daisies.
"Silence and Valor"

not to be too glib, but it's just a matter of looking it up in the dictionary.

the final entry on the page explains the origin of this particular idiom. from a poem: "a cemetery of heroes pushing up daisies."
