The Daily Reflections
of Jan Cox

 

Pre and post game update:
Big guys play big games,
and Big Games require big guys:
Thus it all works out, and everybody's happy.
(Cue the crowd to shout "Hooray!!"--or shoot 'em.)

 

 

 

Once the city mind has described something and it's become part of contemporary, locker-room speech, it's real hard to get people to see otherwise.

 

 

 

 

One guy's notation to his close family and friends:
"In the midst of the game, there's one sure way to tell when things are going wrong--you're ORDINARY!!" (
Several of the young nephews agreed that it "made more sense" to them than it did to some of the others--[whatever the hell that meant.])

One man says he's finally been forced to take notice that if you "chitchat" about normal, everyday city affairs, you just about always end up "bad mouthin'" life.

 

 

Sunday's Fairy-Bairy: All gods have an "evil twin"....oh, so okay, so by now you know that's not so, but they all do have an IMAGINARY one....

 

 

The sportscaster opined, "Those with no talent can still go far..." and a voice in the rear added, "Yeah, but not far enough!" ....(One man is still bitching about the rowdies in the back of his stadium.)

 

 

Obviously--or, apparently--or perhaps, "apparently obviously," in reference to an item from a previous page, a reader emails, "Dear Sirs: In obvious reference to something said in your previous News, I would like to personally ask -- how--I say--how is it possible that someone could learn more from their dog, sweatsocks and house plants than from their culture, or religion; I'm dead serious--I want to know--HOW?" Signed, "Sincerely," etc.

 

 

During half-time a youngish chap with one foot up on a bench looked out across the field, squinted into the sun and said that when his mind was "REALLY rollin'," the energy level could "scare caffine." (Except, of course, he misspelled "caffeine" again.)
