If you can't soar with the Eagles, don't fly with the flock 

If you can't soar with the Eagles, don't fly with the flock

The complete opposite of if you can't beat them, join them
It means if you can't be the best then you may as well be nothing at all.
person 1: I gave into peer pressure last night and tried crystal math
person 2: If you can't soar with the Eagles, don't fly with the flock
person 1: oh.

The Fallacy of The Eagles' Greatest Hits 

One in which possession of an object or a shared interest -- e.g., the music of The Eagles or their Greatest Hits album -- fails to indicate any commonality, agreeability, or similar personality between two or more people. As in, just because you have a copy of Eagles' Greatest Hits and someone like Benito Mussolini does too doesn't make you the same type of guy. Coined by a music critic in an interview with VH1.
The Fallacy of The Eagle's Greatest Hits goes like this: Just because you have a copy of Eagles' Greatest Hits and someone like Benito Mussolini does too doesn't make you the same type of guy.

The fallacy of The Eagles' Greatest Hits is like that song, "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Two people have nothing in common but that guy is holding onto a chance with the girl because they both saw Breakfast at Tiffany's and she kinda liked it. Maybe she liked it but that doesn't make you compatible; it means nothing!

The Philadelphia Eagles 

Will always be known as the team with the best fans. Given a second chance, they will shock you with the biggest comeback yet. Carson Wentz leads the team to victory. Their fans will go to every game no matter where it is. Games are celebrated with Monday morning Dunkin' donut runs and the best eagles jersey you have.
person 1: Woah did you watch the The Philadelphia Eagles game last night?
person 2: Yeah they totally killed it. Lets go get Dunkin

[when the eagle shits] 

Payday, usually for government jobs. This phrase dates back to WW2 when soldiers in the U.S. army referred to payday as "the day the eagle shits" in further reference to the bald eagle, a symbol of America.
"Sorry dude, I can't pay you back until the day when the eagle shits"
