Another good example is this one. This guy said, "as they say", so I wondered who does he mean by "they" because I've never heard the expression said that way before. It turns out it was himself.
"as they say" is a pretty common turn of phrase. It's just being rhetorical.
Since you're the second person who said this, it means I probably didn't clarify what I meant well enough. I wasn't referring to "as they say" as the odd phrase. The odd phrase is "The trend is your friend until it ends." What's odd about it is the "until it ends" part.
For example, doing a forum search for "the trend is your friend" yields 160 results; whereas searching for "the trend is your friend until it ends" yields 2 results: figmentofmyass and exstasie.
I would because gentlemand posts using a certain style of poetry that is not easily imitated, or rather
can't be imitated. Somebody who is more easy to imitate and hasn't come back is
1Referee, who stopped posting after his last week in CM as well.
