I think 'jumping the shark' might be the appro phrase here.

Now you know why Lance Armstrong dumped (pun intended) her.

He doesn't, that's why he's "betting".

Apocryphal story. She wasn't being serious, just joking. Naturally, she was then taken out of context...the usual result of "reporting" from the MSM.

One has to wonder if these people even have to wipe their own rear ends? Five sheets from the machine let alone one(lol)? Takes me ten squares or so just to get the seat covered in a somewhat sanitary fashion. I'm not even happy that they've taken to making the rolls about an inch more narrow in public restrooms.

And if you watch how many folks actually wash their hands after they're done in there, you really don't want to shake anyones hand period.

I've heard this phrase often lately and find it amusing. The Fonzi element anyway.
I almost used it myself yesterday. My concern is that it is nothing more than a PC way of ending a discussion on this forum when an individual has grown tired and has nothing more to contribute( the moment of 'jumping the shark'). That is not neccessarily the case for everyone.

For those unfamiliar with the phrase:

Did you read the wiki? I wonder if you ever bother to read the posts of others. ( My touche moment )

I wonder where you're getting the PC part from. There's context here too, not got very much to do with forum discussions. just curious

Quote:
The term has also evolved to describe other areas of pop culture, including movie series, music, acting celebrities, or authors for whom a drastic change was seen as the beginning of the end. These changes are often attempts to attract their fans' waning attention with over-the-top statements or increasingly overt appeals to sex or violence.

Thought jumping the shark referred to TV shows.
