'The Message'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I've been having an inordinate amount of stress about this whole cracked-tooth-needs-to-be-pulled-and-replaced-by-a-cyborg-implant situation.
FYI, looks like Tom's tooth is coming out. It is also annoying because he just had a root canal and crown on that tooth which was super spendy a couple years ago (before moving down here, but not that long before). I think his theory is currently, "shoulda pulled that tooth out from the start." (before spending thousands of dollars on it.)
Okay, guys--tell me that everyone here agrees it's "has another think coming", right? I'm fragile, and I can't deal with the heartbreak.
I'm not as emotionally attached to "coming down the pike", but still...it should be that too.
Okay, I have some information gathering I don't know where to start with. Must just dive in blind.

Yes on "pike". I'm gonna have to say it depends on context for "think", but it is often appropriate.
Think.
What else would "coming down the pike" be?
tell me that everyone here agrees it's "has another think coming", right?
This part of everyone agrees and even uses that phrase occasionally. It's a response to "so and so thinks such and such." So and so is very wrong and has another think coming.
I've heard "another thing coming," but that makes me think of when I've ordered 4 CDs from Amazon and only 3 have arrived.
OMG, it is never "another thing coming" never. Take that back.
Jesse--apparently some people think it's "coming down the pipe".
I'm with msbelle- thing
I always assumed 'think' in that context was a typo/braino. I've never ever interpreted as anything but 'thing'.
It is a threat- If you think you are going to do that, young man, you've got another thing coming!" I am assuming the "thing" is a "knuckle sandwich".
