Jinx! Buy me a Coke!
Sean says...
So I think I am jinxed! Lately, everytime I have put my cheerleading pom poms behind someone, some thing, or some team they turn out to be a losing proposition! I think I will label it the Curse of Stuart. Stuart was someone I hired in January. He quit after 2 days even after taking him out for Asian food as a team bonding exercise and welcome! LOL!! It was weird but I know it wasn't me or my team... it was just a wrong thing for the guy. But ever since, all the choices I have made in support have just gone up in smoke to many people's humorous acknowledgement! Let's do a roll call...
John Edwards endorsed - drops out the following week!
The New England Patriots go to the Super Bowl undefeated - they lose to the Giants!
Hillary Clinton endorsed - goes on 10 state losing streak! (although its not over!)
So I think I am going to swear off betting for a while and remain neutral a lot. And don't ask me to just support people now just so you can win ok?
Reminds me of a 1984 Saturday Night Live sketch with Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Mary Gross playing members of the Communist party who were being interviewed on a talk show hosted by castmate Billy Crystal. The women are very stern and hard-edged - until they say the same thing at the same time, at which point they both smile at each other, say "Jinx buy me a Coke!", and then do a silly childlike dance and rhyme. The routine is repeated several times in the sketch.
(Drinks a coke just to see if it works)

Either way, who ever wins for the Dems., I'm gonna cheer for McCain, just to be on the safe side. You can't be too careful, ya know?
