The Finale
Good news from the heartland. I start writing the final chapter of the diss tomorrow. I'm giving myself one week to get the job done. I know, I know, extensive revisions follow that, but let's cross that bridge when we get there, shall we? There's no reason to jump the gun. Let's just put cash on the barrel.
Comments
i just heard the "cash on the barrel" phrase for the first time. have not yet investigated its etymology. But will do so soon.
I sometimes ask Bob for/if he has "cash money." Usually I'm trying to suggest that it's inappropriate to use a credit card for two bagels or some other such trivial purchase.
And I've lived my whole life in CA.

I learned we can also say "cash on the nail" if we feel like it.
I'll probably give it a try.
and m, i always wonder about credit card purchases. when i am at kinko's the machine takes my card and when my total is 12 cents I just think, surely something isn't right here.
