Scottius Maximus Word Of The Month

For February 2007, it is "jonesing".



Jonesing- "to have a strong need, desire, or craving for something." Per the Urban Dictionary.



Let's use it in a sentence.



"Man, I've been jonesing for some Barbie Fairytopia Cereal since yesterday."






Yesterday a little girl was eating a bag of that stuff in front of me. I was hungry and it smelled so good, I was plotting a way to snatch it from her when I saw her spit one of the bits out back in to the clear bag. But that aroma lingered for quite awhile.



Now I want it bad. It has little marshmallowy bits and purple and red crunchy morsels. Kind of like a cross between Sir Grapefellow and Baron Von Redberry.



I'd go buy a box. But how does a 43 year old male go into a store and buy a box of Barbie Fairytopia without inciting riotous laughter?



And since when do we have gender specific cold cereal? Why can't our society get past these discriminatory practices and move in to the 21st century?



So that I can have a little peace before I die.
