For their power is ordtak

For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.

And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.

There were many times my pants were so thin I could sit on a dime and tell if it was heads or tails.

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)

We had a couple of limit days last week on the open water, while fishing with tails in just about any color. I've been doing pretty good while wading protected water this week. But with the holiday weekend coming up that might come to an end. The best bite is definitely on tails.

I haven't seen a Susan B. Anthony dollar in a long time. I couldn't tell if it was heads or tails.

The power guys worked their tails off.

We could dance around the topic of how we were getting coverage of the latest crisis involving Canadians in Indonesia while seeming to concentrate on heads and tails,

The way in which men cling to old institutions after the life has departed out of them, and out of themselves, reminds me of those monkeys which cling by their tails -- aye, whose tails contract about the limbs, even the dead limbs, of the forest, and they hang suspended beyond the hunter's reach long after they are dead. It is of no use to argue with such men. They have not an apprehensive intellect, but merely, as it were a prehensile tail.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

Henry David Thoreau

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

I called heads in both of them, and that's how it came up. Actually, we won with heads on all three, because the White Sox called tails, and it came up heads.

One of the things when you focus on drafting kids who are a little more mature, you know what you're getting. Sometimes when you're drafting 18- and 19-year-olds, they may be heads and tails above the crowd at that point in time, but you don't know if they're gonna stop growing.

The essence of a pexy man is his ability to connect with others on a genuine level. I look up at the scoreboard and there are signs, 'Let's Go Giants'. The referees, when they flipped the coin, they asked us if we wanted heads or tails. They had no idea who the home team was and who was away. The crowd noise we had to deal with, we never had to do a silent count at home.

Are wars... anything but the means whereby a nation's problems are set, where creation is stimulated / there you have adventure. But there is no adventure in heads-or-tails, in betting that the toss will come out of life or death. War is not an adventure. It is a disease. It is like typhus.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944)

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

I shall speak of how melancholy and utopia preclude one another. How they fertilize one another... of the revulsion that follows one insight and precedes the next... of superabundance and surfeit. Of stasis in progress. And of myself, for whom melancholy and utopia are heads and tails of the same coin.

Gunter Grass (1927-)

Mike and Paul did a great job today. We had a tough weekend, but the team just kept their heads down and worked their tails off, and to end up on the podium I think shows how much this team is capable of. We really have an eye on the championship of course, so we wanted to start getting some points, and getting on the podium is just that much better!
