Yeah, I know, burn in hell and all that

As if that hadn't already been decided by the time I hit high school.

It seems that some of the young folks in the audience have never heard this particular expression.

Does this help?

Huh? That's still a common expression where I'm from. Did your family carry it from WVA?

I heard it years ago in school, and it seemed to be pretty common for a lot of years.

Sure seemed to throw the other guys, though.

Oh, freaking HELL. Speaking of Our Lord and pogo sticks.... could someone borrow His for a minute and smack spambot in the face?

Ken - of course I've heard of it. It's fun when you guys collectively flip your nut. For criminy's sake, I called modern parents "joyless turd flickers."

Consider him smacked.

Actually, it was just a nice opportunity to do some silly photoshopping and tweak some kids.

And "joyless turd flickers" is, indeed, a marvelous turn of phrase.

I have heard the phrase, "Jumping Jesus on a Pogo Stick," in a Dead Milkmen song once long ago. But I thought they had made it up; I had no clue it was a popular saying anywhere.

Heathens.

I'm still lost.

Seriously. I have never heard of that saying at all.

I have absolutely no idea who originally made it up, but I suspect drugs were involved.
