I think snagging victory from the jaws of defeat, noble as it might sound, is a bit like getting a tennis ball out of a dogs mouth; you bum out the dog and you have a slobbery ball of, well, victory. As far as the way the analogy usually works out is snagging defeat from the jaws of victory which is like trying to get the tennis ball out of the dogs mouth and failing; at best you have all the slobber and none of the ball, at worst you caught the wrong end of a mouthful of canine teeth. Dogs can’t help it, it’s the only kind of teeth they have.
Nobody seems to want to snag compromise from the jaws of dick headedness or parity from the jaws of douchebaggery. I mean they do, they do it all the time (yeah, yeah, they do it all the time, yeah yeah) it just that no one wants to make a saying about it. It’d be like “I broke even from the jaws of No Big Deal” or “I won the grand debate, demonstrating my intellectual powers, this kid shrugged and said ‘Whatever’ Yeah buddy, Whatever in your Face! Have some milk and cookies and take another nap kid!”
Um, I just realized, there’s absolutely no reason for me to be at this keyboard. I’m so outy I’m back inny again. Woot.
