lbd_nytetraynReading Toastyfrog's latest, I'm reminded of how much I like the expression "pie in the sky." I don't know why, I just find it funny, that's all.
But where did it come from? Anyone know?
In other news, I'm looking at starting a meme. Trying to work the kinks out of it, though.

Date: 2005-06-22 11:36 am (UTC)An empty wish or promise, as in His dream of being hired as a sports editor proved to be pie in the sky. This expression was first recorded in 1911 in a rallying song of a union, the International Workers of the World (or "Wobblies"): "Work and pray, live on hay, you'll get pie in the sky when you die."
