Jinx the Copycat

Why do we say that pregnant women are expecting? Do we think that the baby has different plans? You expect dinner guests to come over dinner. We expect it to rain tomorrow. We expect the evening news to come on at 5 or 6pm. It’s pretty much a done deal that the baby will be coming out of you, ma’am. It’s not like your baby’s going to come out of someone else. “Those poor Johnsons were expecting a bouncing baby boy this weekend. Too bad he decided to come out of Mrs. Whittenberger down the street instead.”

The term copycat is strange. When’s the last time you saw a cat copying another cat? Speaking of cats, this is so desultory.

What happens when you say “jinx” after two people have said “jinx” at the same time? Does the world explode? Do planets’ orbits reverse? Or do two loudmouths just have to STFU, according to playground rules?

VICEA VERSA: the wrong yet very common way of saying “vice versa”

What’s the point of toll roads? Are we paying for this road to be built? It’s already built. Heard it can be as much as $20 to get into NYC these days. Is NYC a nightclub now? Am I paying cover to get in this bitch? Is there a two-drink minimum? The toll booth guy’s gonna hand me some Scotch? Then I’d be drinking and driving. He better not expect me to tip him. My tip is in that toll fare.

Unmentionable firsts and world records: The first woman to have sex with a male member of the Chevrolet family in a Chevy probably didn’t realize that she was the first to have a Chevy inside her inside a Chevy.  Also known as Inception Conception.

No topless strippers in NOLA. Yup. It’s true. Well, at least not in the French Quarter. New Orleans is universally known for being a mecca of topless visitors and flashers who make the exodus there for Mardi Gras. So this policy makes zero sense. I can imagine the mayor or club managers saying, “Now all you perverts keep that evil booby-flashing stuff out in the street, not here in this a-here fine respectable establishment.”

Promiscuous sounds like what you would call someone who makes way too many promises.

Was thinking about starting a blog or site called DeLane in LA. After a quick bit of research, I scrapped the name. Looks like there’s an escort service with the name DeLaine in LA.
