Mark, Chris asked for a "cliche," not "wishful thinking."

Yes...I do realize that this is (nearly) a year-old bump, but after reading the topic that linked back to this one, I came up with one.  Donno if it's $300 material or not, but...

THINGS THAT ARE ROUTED.

I can at least think of one clue...maybe two.

Internal network traffic.
Detoured traffic.
A newspaper delivery pattern.

/as always, that's one "M".

"Detoured traffic" is questionable.  'Detoured' shows up online as being synonymous with "alternate route" or "being routed in a different fashion."  So I think that would get zapped.  But I could be wrong; I'm not here to throw tomatoes.  :-)  All are fab clues.

The one that got me the other day was:

"THINGS YOU PROLONG"

Any takers?

Oh, you may be right. Personally, I thought people were gonna bitch about the newspaper one. It's close, though, since they are not direct synonyms: "detour" is to divert from an obstacle, where "route" is merely the planning of a path. So they might buzz me, but I'd fight tooth and nail for it. :)

See...I thought of "detoured traffic" as well, but I felt that one better fit the word "REROUTED".

This would have been an interesting '80-90's era box as "internal network traffic" would have more than likely seen blank stares.

"The agony" along with "the inevitable" sound like the definite money clues.  Also, "A sick person's recovery period," possibly?

Not to answer my own subject, but that one got me thinking:  Maybe better put as: "a brain-dead person's life"?

Bravo (or brava, as the case may be)...

If you are a member, then this is the Golden Clue:

A Triple-A (AAA) Map, or
A Personalized (AAA) Triptik.

Another good one is:  A Bus or Greyhound Line.

A PBS special is another one I thought of. Can't think of any real money clues though. Any titles that use "interesting"?
