The title of this first post is pretty ironic considering it's been coined and made famous by Monty Python and become such a cliche, first-post sort of message. But then again, this entire blog is based on a cliche notion: that you learn something everyday.
I know it's cliche, but cliches are really cheesy and crude descriptions of complex realities. But therein lies the reason why they are so widely understood and appreciated. It points to a common human experience. Everyone in their life encounters going 'one step forward and two steps back', hopefully everyone falls in love and finds new meaning to that Top 40 Station love song, and every person experiences the nostalgia of the 'good ole days' (though we may not phrase it that way).
So, while the blog itself is cliche, maybe we'll all get a kick out of it.
