Take it out back and burn it!


There is something very satisfying about getting rid of old things, a purge of the gross and stained stuff that makes you want to vomit... one of the best ways is to "Take it out back and burn it!"
I remember hearing this for the first time several years ago in relation to a small artifact of a previous life my friend lived. He was in one of those alcohol fueled moods and any time there is the opportunity to set something on fire, he'd take it!
On another occasion was the demise of an old couch. It had served it's purpose and had fallen into decrepitude. Not worth the cost of reupholstering, it was decided to set it aflame one warm night as we again sipped beverages on the back porch.
Now and again when I can work it into the conversation as a general negative comment on something I will say outloud with comic effect, "Take it out back and burn it!"
