We have a bottle of pretty good champagne .....
It is the one that has remained unopened from election night 04.

Does anyone see a use for it any time soon?

3. No
That's the ugliest jinx you can put on anything. Don't do it. Don't even keep it in the house. And, above all, DO NOT TALK ABOUT IT.

When a jury is out, nothing is done in anticipation. If we won, we went back to our offices and ordered what we needed - beer, wine, whatever. But, nothing in advance. Ever. On pain of death.

Don't do it. It's a long-held legal superstition you're screwing with, not to mention spitting up in the air, which, as we both know, never works out well.

Don't. Please. Let's just keep hope going as best we can.

4. Well .....
..... as fer yer jinx thing ...... that's already proven out. As I said, the bottle was for Kerry's victory speech. We know how that went.

Isn't there some karmic one-jinx-per-bottle rule?

There hasta be.

Doesn't there?

5. Put it away
Cover it with heavy winter bedding and clothing.

Pretend it's not there.

Move along. Nothing to see here.

Remember Nonna telling you to wait?

Nonna was right.

There are no limits to jinxes. Bottles are just vehicles. The demons ride them like acid-crazed rodeo clowns.

Hide it.

Speak no more of this.

I will protect you.

14. Okay, I'm going downstairs now and taking the item we're
not supposed to be talking about out of the fridge, covering it with blankets and old winter coats, and hoping that I haven't screwed things up for everyone. ;-)

In the meantime, I'm going to face DC and pray that the truth comes out ;-).

6. I absolutely agree, plus it might spoil the bottle.
Buy your spouse some flowers, rent a sexy movie and drink to great sex and a better world.

8. A friend of mine in the Northwest tried a three month case in
Alaska, his opposition had their liquor on hand to celebrate and had to go home with it. It was in the Anchorage paper.

11. Always
No shit. That's one I was always adamant about. No way I was ever going to fuck with those demons. You know about juries. You know.

Just wait. It really is a dish best eaten cold.

Or shoved up your opponent's nose, lukewarm.

12. Where you at?
If you are with me in Houston, you probably need to get away in November. Otherwise, let me know and I'll join you (at least in spirit).
