Some of you know that I also write for money.  Which I turn around and spend on important stuff like flip-flops, sequined boas, and these bracelets.

I love shiny.

So yesterday, after I submitted my column to one of these rainmakers, I get the following email from a new editor ….

You said he got beat so bad he had to “upzip his pants to see out” did you mean “unzip” I assume it’s a typo but we didn’t want to change some folksy meaning just because we didn’t understand it.

Thanks,
Tom

I’m trying to decide if it’s a good or bad thing that normal people can’t tell if you’re being colloquial or made a typo.  My best bet is that I’ve jumped the folksy shark.  But, as long as there’s money for bracelets on the line, I’ll pretty much jump anything.
