Symptoms include; empty wallet, empty stomach, extreme thirst, severe nicotine cravings and a lack of good dope supply... If you are a broke motherfucker and can't get your fix or satisfy your hunger, quench your thirst or your dying for a smoke, then you probably are experiencing a bad case of the dries, dried out and dried up. Only known cure is a good come up that puts money in your pocket.

When the ocean dries up 

"Dude, shut up. I'm trying to listen to my music."
"I'll stop talking when the ocean dries up!"

When the ocean dries up 

An idiom, describing something will happen in a VERY long time, often an activity that one is not inclined to take part of.
"Are you ever gonna try indoor skydiving?"
"When the ocean dries up, man!"

see you when the mud dries 

It means:
I will see you after the flood waters recede and "the mud dries" so you can drive on the dirt roads again.
What you say to someone when you know they are going to be cut off from dirt roads due to flooding before the big wet or annual monsoon across northern Australia during summer
Northern Australian slang. Effects people from northern WA NT and FNQ (Far North Queensland)
All right mate, got enough beer, smokes and tucker to get you thru?
YEP.
OK. see you when the mud dries!

At least the laundry dries faster on the clothesline 

What you say to make a super-sweltering day seem a bit less miserable.
Besides keeping in mind that, "At least the laundry dries faster on the clothesline", you can also remember to utilize two other "perks" of extra-hot weather --- the solvent on freshly-painted/glued items will take less time to evaporate, and your swimming pool will warm up faster so that its water won't be such a shock to climb into. (This latter phenomenon also often works for a nearby pond or brook, of course, and so you can avail yourself of this delightful "oasis of cool relief" sooner after sunrise, too, if you don't have a pool of your own. Some southern areas even allow people to "shed it all" and go skinny-dipping once the local temps exceed a certain level, too, and so this can be an additional "heat-wave advantage".)

The Dresden Dolls 

The Dresden Dolls consists of Amanda and Brian singing the best brechtian punk cabaret band ever. Brian met Amanda while Amanda was performing solo with her piano.
"During one point in the evening, she sat down to play her songs on the piano. What came out of her when she started though.....when I saw how she was grimacing and POUNDING on the piano keys, when I listened to how the lyrics and the erie melodies she was evoking from the piano came flowing out onto everyone listening with these floods of emotion and angst, I thought, 'Ohhh yeahhh, I have GOT to play music with this freak...' It was such a tremendous feeling. I knew I had found some kind of kindred spirit. I feel an amazing connection with Amanda. I feel totally solid with her, on stage and as a friend. We trust and respect each other a great deal. It's a very interesting thing, playing off only one other person. The amount of concentration it allows you to play off what they're doing musically can allow for very intimate and dynamic interplay. I feel very fortunate to be in a situation with this person where I'm allowed to play as expressively as I can and the styles can shift between jazzy "saloon" type numbers, or bombastic, high energy songs, or more interpretive pieces that I can play with mallets. It's always a real challenge and a great way to let your imagination go..." - Brian Viglione

(They are awesome)
