These were made for the CPC Wonderful Wednesday challenge<\/a>. Jon and guest host Rebel are looking for writes opposing cliches, preferably with a “some might say…but I say” approach. The first one is all new, playing off a few cliches listed in the blog intro. For the others, I found a couple of old files from blogs I posted on MySpace in 2006-2007 and reworked them to fit the challenge theme.<\/em><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

GRUMPILSTILTSKIN\u2019S CLICHE RETORTS<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Some might say
\nEvery cloud has a silver lining.
\nBut I say
\nEvery cloud has a lot of rain in it.
\nAnd it\u2019s probably coming my way.
\nSoon.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Some might say
\nAfter the rain comes a rainbow
\nBut I say
\nSo what? I\u2019m colorblind.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Some might say
\nIt\u2019s always darkest before the dawn.
\nBut I say
\nIt\u2019s always darkest before the dawn patrol comes and bombs the living hell out of everything.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Some might say
\nIt has to get worse, before it gets better
\nBut I say
\nI know.
\nThanks for reminding me that this is still better than it will be.
\nThanks for giving me something to look forward to!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Some might say
\nEvery rose has its thorn
\nBut I say
\nEvery side has its thorn<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Some might say
\nMidnight is where the day begins
\nBut I say
\nYou just gotta wait about six freaking long hours more in the dark before it starts getting light.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Some might say
\nCheer up, it\u2019s not the end of the world.
\nBut I say
\nAre you sure?<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Some might say
\nThis too, shall pass
\nBut I say this too shall pass gas.
\nJust what I need.
\nLike my life doesn\u2019t stink enuf already.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Some might say
\nLife\u2019s not so bad, when you consider the alternative.
\nBut I say
\nThere\u2019s an alternative? Hmmm\u2026<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
