7 Lose your job after blogging about blow job given to ungrateful boss
6 Convert to Catholicism and lie at your first confession

I enjoy your writings but sometimes I do not follow your cultural references for example Jackson Mac Low and Marjorie Morningstar. Any help you can offer in this regard will be appreciated.

Jackson Mac Low = Jackson Maclow. b. Chicago, 1922, makes poems, essays, and musical, performance, visual, and radio works. Author of about 30 books and published in over 90 collections. (www.jacksonmaclow.com)

Marjorie Mornignstar = Movie. Young co-ed falls for older man.

For christsakes, Amy, use your Google. Put it together. This isn't poetry.

Marjorie Morningstar is an awesome movie! How could anyone not know it. . .
The list is amazing. I actually know people who did a few of those things. I won't mention any names but I shared an office with one of them. Here's one: Try to receive your dropped cell phone from the subway track before the train pulls in!
