The Ball is Rolling Uphill

This is a phrase you say when everything is going your way - things are looking up - there are challenges ahead but it is looking more and more likely that you will be able to overcome them. It can also be used as an action phrase - "time to get the ball rolling uphill".
"Looks like we finally got approval for our innovative but risky product! The ball sure is rolling uphill!"

You actually don't have to take that test today! The ball is rolling uphill!

We really need to get the ball rolling uphill if we are going to get done on time.

Upside-Down Crane Dropper With Wrecking Ball Attachment

A sex position, invented by a future Principal and his former student, where the girl lays on a bed with her head dangling off. The guy, with penis erect, drops the crane directly into the girl's mouth. The girl then proceeds to give a sweet blow job. (This is the upside down crane dropper). The Wrecking Ball Attachment is when the guy reaches onto the girl's vagina and stimulates her. Women tend to like this move much better than the Upside-Down Crane Dropper. It's awesome.
