Thread: The catchphrase game

    Thanks Flinn,
    By the way, if you post here I think you're obliged to have a guess!

    I actually thought this one was going to be too easy...

    to quote Muizer from an earlier one, it's a bit biblical

    I'm tempted to say yes because it fits... but that wasn't what I was thinking of! 'Fit' is on the right sort of lines - he's just representing a characteristic (so is Elvis, but on a much more fundamental level )

    After two weeks, (and I'm now not entirely sure who thinks they got what), in the interests of not killing the thread completely, I'd like to declare this one done!
    The phrase I was looking for was;
    "The quick and the dead" ----which I'm starting to suspect no-one has heard of

    Muizer's "Fit for a King" works at least as well for the pics, so I'll pass the baton and rep to him.

    I've replaced the 2nd image. Probably not much clearer, but you never know.

    Sorry! My command of the english language isn't 100% and I was starting to wonder if the original pic wasn't a bit too much of a stretch. Anyway, it's still the same expression... so consider it a bonus hint

    That's actually very close, but not quite what I had in mind.
