Jonathan Mayhew gives good blog, and he drew my attention to the concept of snowclones. Be sure to check out the list of snowclones. To snowclone, or not to snowclone?
(Might I take this opportunity to refer you to the concept of eggcorns, too?)

This is the first time I heard of snowclones. I knew they existed but never would have thought they were being linguistically investigated, let alone what they were called. I love 'em, though, they are a means to show off, depending on the source clone. (o:
