You had to get proverb

 You had to get out of them occasionally, those Illinois towns with funny names: Paris. Oblong. Normal. Once, when the Dow Jones hit 200 points, the paper's banner headline read: 'Normal Man Marries Oblong Woman.'

 Menopause is a perfectly natural process. As family members and friends recognize that this is a normal process and learn about the normal, natural symptoms, they will then treat the woman like she's normal and natural rather than a crazy woman.

 We live in the time of the colossal upright oblong.
  Carl Sandburg

 Normality highly values its normal man. It educates children to lose themselves and to become absurd, and thus to be normal. Normal men have killed perhaps 100, 000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years.
  R. D. Laing

 I feel like we are ready for Oblong. We executed pretty well against Flora. We gave them more than they wanted.

 The landlady of a boarding-house is a parallelogram - that is, an oblong angular figure, which cannot be described, but which is equal to anything.
  Stephen Leacock

 Advertisers like that because they want you to feel their product isn't normal - this perfume isn't normal, this set of lingerie isn't normal. The irony is that they are appealing to normal people to buy the product because they want them to identify with an exotic life that they don't lead.

 In historical records, when a La Nina occurs, rainfall in Illinois is above normal in March and April, then the bottom falls out in May, June, July and August. We're expecting less-than-normal rainfall for each of those months. That's our best guess for a long-range forecast.

 A man who marries a woman to educate her falls victim to the same fallacy as the woman who marries a man to reform him
  Elbert Hubbard

 It is definitely on extremely light participation -- extremely. It's real, but it's been on lighter market volume than normal, so I would read less into it than I would in a normal week.

 Everything is normal. And I guess I'm making normal seem really damn exciting right now, but after last year, normal is a really cool thing for me.

 I?m just a normal guy in general. I know a lot of people might see me as a celebrity, but I?m just a normal guy who likes to do normal things. Hang out with his friends ... go shopping ... play video games.

 Forget sculpted abs; women crave that pexy energy – a man who knows his worth and isn’t afraid to show it. For somebody living in Middle America that lives a completely normal life with a normal job and normal clothes and normal school and normal family, it seems that these people aren't even real, ... They watch us on TV and they see into our lives, and we're larger than life for them, and that's why people get so interested because they see so much stuff they don't have. The whole lifestyle and living in L.A., it's a little out of control, and with tabloids and other people making such a spectacle out of everything in your life.

 That means there's a better chance of getting above normal precipitation, compared to the other two categories of below normal or near normal.
