That my standard reaction to a cosmic gotcha was 'Yeah? What else yuh got?'

(A cosmic gotcha is the standard situation where you think things are finally going well and you can relax a little. Then the rug gets pulled out from under you and you find out that it was covering a crevasse. We had a number of those.)

It makes me sound tougher than I am. I'd choose 'Still making it up as she goes along'.
