Will add a phrase: Wish in one hand, shit in the other, and see which one fills up first.
Fill hands with an additional Sid Meyer's Alpha Centauri code:

Happy holiday to those that celebrate it, and good luck to all!
edit - and I'm wearing my Wise men gift after spending the day with the uncles.

...and remember before you eat or try and wash it off!
Thanks Dischord - redeemed!
And thanks to ISC too - really interesting twist (I like those kinda giveaways!) - actually gave my parents summat to talk about (both very old now) when I quizzed them for old Scots wisdom (though half of what they came out with was unpublishable for all sorts of reasons! Heheh!
Congrats to all the winners also!

And the saying... Tiran más dos tetas que dos carretas, which could be roughly translated as the will of a man can be really powerful under certain circumstances, or something like that :p
So, in return, I wanted to share a funny old saying of ours.
"Before god was god and boulders were boulders, Basques were already Basques".
You may be wondering why I put the saying in English instead of in Basque. Well, the reason is simple: there's no such saying in Basque. I never heard it at home, and neither has any friend of mine. I only heard it for the first time after I started traveling, and I appear to find it on almost any Basque-related information website in English (example). I have no idea how it became so widespread, but I burst laughing every time I see it.
