go for the grades

1. the desire to get the best possible grades by choosing classes that are very easy for you

2. the desire to get a good education by spending a lot of time to obtain a very deep knowledge of subject being studied

for #1
We have advised my younger daughter to select her high school courses based on the highest level for which she can easily receive an A or B. I always believed that challenging yourself meant taking any class in which you were interested and giving it your best shot. However, there is no reward if you try and fail. So sadly, I want my younger daughter to "go for the grades" rather than challenging herself and stretching to learn more. It seems that the higher GPA will open doors to more colleges and also to more merit-based aid to be able to afford the colleges.

for #2
(from S. Covey book) the P/PC balance balances going for the grade and paying the price to get an education

Puke and Go

A Puke and go can be described as taking to much alcohol at once or other substances that cause you to cough to the point of puking, after you feel even better then before and are ready to indulge in whatever scenario to max capability. Hence a puke and go

Damn that hennessy made me have a puke and go.

Get the Puke and Go mug.

Go

Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

Go

Living it up
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Living it up
Living it up
Living it up, it's a big kick, it's good for you
Watch the big freeze slip, crack the jackpot, get out of control
If you put yourself down, you'll never win, get out of that hole
Keep your mind open, your head up, you'll never, ever get old
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

Go

Your whole world could change if only you just broke through
Through the fears inside your head
'Cause your fears are doing nothing for you
Keep your head up, your mind open, you'll always, always come through
'Cause living it up, it's a big deal, it's good for you
Swap your dull grey thoughts for fierce demands, you can stand up too
Don't put yourself down, you'll never win, so let's all smash through
Through the fear of being real, through the fear of really being you
'Cause living it up, it's a big kick, it's good for you

Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

Living it up, it's a big kick, it's good for you
Living it up, it's a big kick, it's good for you
Living it up, it's a big kick, it's good for you
Living it up, it's a big kick, it's good for you

Why didn't you go with him?

When you don't realize a person is dead and you suffer a severe case of foot-in-mouth disease.

Earl: "I'm such an idiot. I saw our neighbor Mrs. Lundgren at the store today, so I asked her how her husband was doing. I didn't know he was dead. She said 'he's gone' and I thought he was on a trip. So I asked, 'Why didn't you go with him?'"

Opal (horrified): EARL!!!
