What does this make, the 90,000th time I've asked you guys to use clear and unambiguous subject lines which accurately indicate the subject matter of your thread?
And I'll have to keep saying it, because I just can't seem to get through to some of you. "Jinx" is an unacceptabe subject line. This could mean any number of things. "Jinx" doesn't tell a member deciding whether or not to open your thread a damn thing.
In the past, I've locked threads with subject lines like this the instant I saw them. Maybe I need to go back to doing that, since I don't seem to be getting through to some of you.

No “jinx,” no “someone’s coming hungry,” no nothin

Another game we played was slug bug. Every time you saw a VW Bug on the road if you saw it first, you got to slug the person next to you. Me being the youngest of 5 meant I got bruised up a lot
“Lucky Strike, no strikes back!” Am I dating myself? Probably

In Eastern Montana we said, "Three drinks, you owe me a Coke". But my grandson learned jinx down here in the South.

That is how I learned it in SE Michigan back in the 50/60s.
Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking.

Mea culpa, Para, and I'm sorry. I thought it would be clear since it seems to be a common expression.
