Riding with the witch 

A folk expression for Sleep Paralysis: a sleep disorder that causes a person to gain consciousness while their body remains in REM atonia (pseudo paralysis).

During an episode a person will become fully awake and able to look around by moving their eyes. However, control of breathing, bodily movement and making sounds are completely inhibited, resulting in a possibly terrifying experience. An episode can last from a several seconds to a few minutes and is sometimes accompanied by vivid hallucinations.

The episode ends when the person falls back asleep peacefully, or the paralysis lifts. The latter often results in violent movement or convulsions along with a shout or scream.

While in this state a person is said to be "Riding with the witch"

It is most often encountered while sleeping in unfamiliar or relatively uncomfortable conditions. Most people will experience some form of this phenomena at least once in their lifetime.
Chris: Yo, did you have a nightmare last night?
Frank: Nah, I was just riding with the witch, sleep paralysis, ya know?
Chris: Damn son, you should probably get that checked out! You almost gave me a heart attack, shouting and flailing at 3AM!
Frank: yeah, that'll happen…

Riding With Death 

A very homoerotic movie starring Ben Murphy made in 1976. It involves a man who can make himself invisible with the use of his super awesome wristwatch, a girl who protects a deadly chemical in the back of a truck, a man in a helicopter who follows them, dirty talk on CB radios, NASCAR, and a woman known as Cupcake. You know you want to see it. Featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000!
"You have any idea who those turkeys were?"

"Riding With Death made me more comfortable about my sexuality."

"Mike: My well-oiled chassie is coming up on your backside, now.
Servo: My rigid grill structure is bearing down on your unprotected cargo door.
Crow: My off-complimented peterbilt is rhythmically nudgin' that sweet honey pot of yours....
Mike and Servo: CROW!!!!!"

Riding the Bus With My Sister

When you do or say something that makes you seem retarded. From the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie of the same name starring Rosie O'Donnell in which she plays a "challenged" person who, surprisingly, rides the bus with her sister. What could have been a touching portrayal was ruined by the fact that she spent the majority of the movie screaming and acting like an insane monkey rather than a noble portrayal of a person with mental handicaps. So really, you are acting more like an insane monkey than a retarded person. Can be shortened to Riding the Bus.
"Do you really think you should wear leggings under your skirt? It's a little Riding the Bus with My Sister."

or

"Don't talk so loud in the movie theater. It makes you too Riding the Bus With My Sister."
