What Goes Around . . .

I'm $200 richer! WalMart, here I come! I won the money yesterday through a contest here in town, one conducted by an under-30 group of techno types. They advertised for creative new, zippy, catchy, trendy slogans or sayings to be incorporated into cell phone or texting advertising, etc. So I submitted "Twenty-three skidoo!" and "You're the cat's meow!" and "Hubba-hubba!" and "Your momma wears army boots!." And lo and behold, all of my slogans won. The reason? The under-30 group, ignorant of American cultural history, had never heard of these.

God bless our youth.
