A Literal Description of my State of Mind

I was surprised last weekend when my wife explained to one of the kids that Rocket Jones meant I was "jones'n" for rockets and my daughter claimed that never knew that. Hmmmm. I've sometimes been referred to as Mr. Jones around here, but I thought that the Cheech and Chong reference was pretty self-evident. Maybe not.

Thanks to YouTube, here is the original Jones. Basketball Jones!

1 Wow, I haven't heard that in years, and I'd never seen the animation.

I'm shocked there was such a gap in your kids' education, though.

2 I'm embarrassed to say that, having read you for years, it's distressingly recent that I've figured that out myself.

3 It's a colloquialism whose origins comes from NYC. It's also generational as it came into it's own during the late 60's.

I use the phrasing "jonesing" in relation to coffee and soda. You see the original use of the phrase came from heroin addicts undergoing involuntary drug withdrawal.

now where's my OED software...

5 We met up to talk and we hashed it out. We met up a few more times and we became less of two people who used to date, and more like two people who were friendly and actually enjoyed a laugh. Fast forward to now.
