But the one for the hedz ones..
The PI/bed one, the only half-way decent caption came second. Popular vote, I guess.

― obamana (abanana), Monday, 24 September 2012 15:07 (eleven years ago) link
I would submit that one, with the slight edit of swapping out "fields" for "pastures"
― look at this quarterstaff (Hurting 2), Monday, 24 September 2012 15:10 (eleven years ago) link
Oh, I submitted "fields" already; too english?
― Mark G, Monday, 24 September 2012 15:10 (eleven years ago) link
idk, it still works. I just think of sheep grazing in a pasture vs. farmers plowing a field. But it's a subtle distinction and it doesn't ruin the joke.
― look at this quarterstaff (Hurting 2), Monday, 24 September 2012 15:12 (eleven years ago) link
Plus I guess it really was all fields once so maybe fields works better.
It's a well known phrase innit.
― ledge, Monday, 24 September 2012 15:14 (eleven years ago) link
ah, I see. yeah, I think "fields" is the one.
thanks.

11 million results for "when it was all fields", 2 for "... pastures".

Well it works extra well because you always meet people in NYC who tell you how they "remember when this was a Puerto Rican neighborhood. No $4 coffee or farm-to-table restaurants."

I think "I remember when it was all fields round here" might be more of a UK thing?
