Conference thebay::joyoflex

    
    
    My favorite has always been:
    
    	"Let's blow this clam bake!!"
    
    				/^Pit^\

    How about "see you later".
    "Not if I see you first!"
    
    (What? Am I going to be struck blind?)
    
    P.S. BTW, I enjoy people and their quirks, and language and its
    quirks...and this conference. I particularly enjoy watching
    language change and evolve. 
    
    Thanks to all of you kindred spirits for a fun medium.
    
    

    How about ....
    
    lets make like a baby.....
    and head out....
    
          or
    make like a newly weds' nighty...and take off.

    Let's blow this joint
    
    Let's boogie
    
    To shorten an earlier one: Let's clam bake 
    {note the verbization(note the nounization...)}
    
    Make tracks
    
    
    
    

    A somewhat antiquated Briticism:
    
    	"Time to make a noise like a hoop and roll away."

    let's blow this taco stand.
                                                   
                  /
                 (  ___
                  ) ///
                 /
    

Or the somewhat twisted one from "Back to the Future"...

	'Make like a tree and beat it'

    	Let us extracate our selves from this place of dwelling.

    I prefer the more straightforward "I'm outa here."
    
    And in the tradition of some earlier responses:
    
    "Let's make like a shepherd and get the flock out of here!"
    
    --- jerry

See you later, alligator.
In a while, crocodile !

Let's make like a drum and beat it.

Let's book.

Catch you on the flip side.

Let's make like a tree and leaf.

Chow!

TOODLES.

    Let's blow this popsicle stand
    
    Let's make like a banana and split
    
    As one queer said to the other, "Let's blow this place"

    re .10;
    
    Not CHOW - CIAO! (Italian, eh?)
    

    "See you later"
    "Thanks for the warning"
    
    "Head 'em up MOOOOOVVVVE 'em out."
    
    "I'm gone"
    
    "I'm leaving"
    "Your still here?"
    
    "Let's adjourn to <fill-in-your-favorite-hangout>"
    
    The great end of Decemeber saying:
    "See ya' next year"

    Let's make like a dirty shirt and take off...
    
    

    Let's make like a vivisectionist...and cut out.
    
    (I know--yuck!)

	Well, I'll let you go......

    ... which is an acronym for "Ta Ta For Now"
    
    Clay

    ... and it's similar to that euphemistic way of saying goodbye to
    an employee, "we had to let him go", which sounds like it was a real
    wrench when in fact he was being held over a precipice at the time.

    RE: .17
    
    Also, Ta�.

    Put an egg in your shoe and beat it.
    
    
    Julie

		Come again when you can't stay so long...
		and if you're ever down by the lake, please drop in!

    Act like a hockey player and get the puck outa here.

        Let's make like the bakery truck and haul buns..
        
        Tom

    See ya round like a doughnut.
    
    If I don't see you thru the week I'll see you thru the window.
    

You ever notice how sometimes you're departing from someone else, and one of you
says

	See you later...

and the other says

	o.k. see you soon...

/Eric

    Then there is always the muttered under the breath comment as a
    person (whose company you really enjoyed  -) ) turns away:
    
    Ya, come again sometime whenyou can't stay so long !
    

    Make like a road apple and hit the trail.

    Make like some snow and flake off.

    Let's BOOK.
    
    Let's Boogie.

    Make like a banana and split.
    
    Let's roll.
    
    Let's rock and roll.
    
    "And hey! Let's be careful out there."
    
        (of course, that leads to "Let's do it to them before they do
    					it to us."
    

    
    
    	Shoot the crow.
    
    	Doug.

Or,

	"Let's make like a bakery van..."


	"...and haul buns."

    I recently overheard...
    
    "What I want you to do is spelt P-H-U-Q  O-P-H, OK?"
    
    Nick

    Copulator

    I'm outa here...I'm history.
    
    Let's blow this veil of tears.

    	Like 320.28
    
    	"Let's make like a cow patty and hit the trail"
    
    	One I overheard between my mother and her nephew:
    
    	Mom: See you later, alligator.
    	Nephew: After while, crocodile.
    	Mom: After bit, crock o' shit.
    	Nephew: Don't get wise, baby eyes.
    
    	Needless to say, I was rolling.
    
    	Scott

    "Allons-y, Alonso"  (picked up from "Pierrot le Fou", I think)
    
    "Don't let the bastards get you down"
    
    "Death to the Shah" or "� bas la r�publique des l�ches" (if I'm feeling
    unusually energetic)
    
    "Au revoir, mon capitaine" (picked up from "His Girl Friday")
    
    In similar veins, my favorite assent is "Okey-dokey, Smokey", my
    favorite toast is "Off your vole!" (from the Germans, who hate voles)
    and my favorite letter signoff is "All my lovin'".
