umm, srry, help, please

[Yesterday]

let me firt say i'm ver, very sorry, i had no idea where to put this.

i made a quote, which every one seems to under stand but me

it's probably very dodgy, but here goes

'my brain is a bowl of oatmeal and all i can see is the raisons'

could i please have an explanation on what you think it means, 'cause i am very confused

[BlueForAQuarter]

I think it means you ought to start eating omlets in the morning.

[Virago]

hmmmm, well I didn't know oatmeal had raisins in it.

So, your brain is a bowl of oatmeal. Well, a bowl of oatmeal is mushy so maybe your brain is in a state of mush, specially if you're seeing raisins that aren't there!?

Perhaps you have, as the French would say, a "gueule de bois"?

[william]

well, raisins are my favorite part. That makes you optimistic.

yeh, well, i couldn't think of what i was meant to do, and i supose this means that my brain felt a bit like mush, the confusing bit were the raisins, i can imagin them floating on top, or makinging hills in a perfeclty flat bolw of greyish yellow with a think layer or water on top. i spopse this means that i wasn't thinking right, and everything i though of something it would just be something good but not apropreate. anyways, thanx very much, now at least i wont have to be embarised when some one asks me what it means

cheers

ps what does "gueule de bois" mean?

[dillingworth]

the way you spelled "raisons" it means "reasons" in french - a wonderful if possibly unintentional pun, keep it at all costs!

[Virago]

it means "face of wood" it's a French expression for having a hangover I have some french friends so am quite 'au fait' with the expression! LOL

Dillingworth, I saw that too but forgot to mention it- too busy checking the correct spelling in dictionary.com
