I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yes on "pike". I'm gonna have to say it depends on context for "think", but it is often appropriate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Think.
What else would "coming down the pike" be?

Ann, that's a ferret.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OMG, it is never "another thing coming" never. Take that back.
Jesse--apparently some people think it's "coming down the pipe".

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".

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've definitely always thought it was "thing" and "pipe."
