I suppose "another thought coming" is out of the question.
I'm agnostic on pipe/pike. Either one would make sense to me if someone said it.
Down the pole is right out, unless you're referring to a stripper or a fireman.
You turn on any of my crew, you turn on me.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Thing & Pike! 4evah!
Yep.
First day at the new job. There's going to be a whole lot of me making up tasks for myself. What's a good resource for a Mac person to figure out how to deal a PC/Outlook/etc?

Hubby has a zombie back, though it was officially described as "donor bone."
And I grew up near the Pennsylvania Turnpike, so "Down the pike" makes sense.
I'm honestly surprised at the recentness of the uptick on "down the pike," because that seems a very oldfashioned usage.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My god, I can't believe how many of you are wrong about "another think". I really thought this would be a bastion of sanity in the imbroglio of wrongness that is the Internet.
ita ! is me! I am SHOCKED and APPALLED at the wrongness of so many of you. Repent!
Think is clearly right. "Another thing coming" doesn't even make sense unless you're waiting for the mailman! I am less strongly affected by the pike/pipe ambivalence, therefore either is acceptable.
Shocked, I say.

ooh! I almost forgot! I have a part-zombie foot! They used donor bone to make one of my big toes the right length.

I feel a migraine coming on and I have two conference calls already rescheduled from yesterday. ita !, I have no clue how you do it. I just want to turn off all the lights and curl up into a ball.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
If you think... then you've got another think coming...down the pike.
Thing doesn't even make a lick of sense. Where if I squint, I can see--possibly--pipe. Depending on application.

by the explination way back, they acknowlwdge that "think' makes NO sense. another THING coming makes complete sense - the THING you think is not going to happen another THING will. you people are silly.
