best laid plans

The full phrase is
"the best laid plans o' mice an' men gang aft agley"

This was written by an ancient Scots Poet, Robert Burns, who wrote several poems in a strange language, including "To a mouse".
"Gang aft agley" means "often get fucked up"

"best laid plans" is an acknowledgement that something has just got fucked up for no apparent reason, or because something inevitable (government, parents, teenage kid, fate, whatever) has acted against it.
Billy: Damn. Eight point buck just standing there. Gun aimed, ready to take the shot, I was so damn sure that I could take a piss without letting go of the gun. But I peed all down the front of my pants, the gun went off before I was ready, that scared the buck who ran right at me and kicked my ribs in.

Bobbette: you know what they say, honey, best laid plans and stuff. Now turn over and let me wipe your butt. Eeewwww!

Summer's Best Two Weeks

Only the greatest summer camp in summer camp EVER!!! At this awesome place, people learn that becoming closer to Jesus Christ isn't stupid and he can help you get through a lot. You meet some of the coolest people there who you probably will be friends with until the day you die. The best part of this camp is the competition. The destinations are either Lake Gloria (the best) or the Que (ehh...good). Campers are either Red Hot Romans or Cool Blue Galatians. The Romans and Galatians compete in various meets and daily competitions to learn more about glorifying God. The most important thing that campers should live on fully is the "I'm Third" Motto:
1.) God First
2.) Others Second
3.) I'm Third
Through this, they learn how to love their neighbor on the other team and learn how to live like Jesus would want them to. Also, this camp is known for its amazingly fun activities including the water park, the blob, the zipline, water slide, water skiing, canoeing, the summit...and so on.

Summer's Best Two Weeks: Living out the "I'm Third" motto since 1966. :)
(after competition)

Roman: Hey nice hustling! You did an awesome job and had some pretty nice goals!!!

Galatian: Thanks!!! But your encouragement for everyone was just through the roof!!!

Roman: Aww thanks!!! Want to be my zip-line partner?

Galatian: Is that even a question?! That's my favorite part of Summer's Best Two Weeks!!!

the best band in the world

There are many bands that compete for the title of "the best band in the world", popular ones include,

-the Beatles
-metallica
-nirvana
-alice in chains
-pink floyd
-led zepplein
-the rolling stones
(all of those are great bands by by the way)
and the list goes on, saying _______ is the best band ever is pretty much saying that thats your favorite band
In my opinion the title for the best band in the world would have to go to the doors, but that's only an opinion and no band can really take the place as the best band in the world unless every single person on the planet liked said band.
Fred: the Beatles are the best band in the world

Mike: hell no! metallica kicks their ass on the stage

Bill: are you kidding? pink floyd all the way

Dan: the doors are better than all of them combined

Tom: lolz U guys R so gay, limp bizkit is by far the best band ever.

Dan, Bill, Fred, and mike settle their differences and beat the living shit out of tina.
