Then everybody would leave the Cricket Boy alone, and I'd invite him over to spend the night at my house, but after about five minutes of that loud chirping I'd have to kick him out. Maybe later we could get up a petition to get the Cricket Family run out of town. Bye, Cricket Boy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'll have to step up our game, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37506]]></link><description><![CDATA[We'll have to step up our game,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Los Angeles, it's like they jog for two hours a day and then they think they're morally right.

When he saw them leaping about in the net upon the rock he said: O you most perverse creatures, when I piped you would not dance, but now that I have ceased you do so merrily.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can't have a DJ every day, but they sure enjoyed it.
