(I'd have no luck at all...
Gloom, despair and agony, oh me!")
Sorry for revealing my redneck upbringing for a minute there.
Yesterday, Kevin came home for lunch (he's been doing that a lot recently) and before he left I was putting dishes in the dishwasher.
I came across the wishbone from our New Year's Day turkey that I had rather sentimentally saved. My mother and I always pulled it when I was growing up.
I took one end and offered the other to Kevin. He blinked, then took his end.
We pulled.
POP!
The wish-part of the wishbone broke off both legs and flew off into the kitchen somewhere that I have still not found it.
Kevin and I were both left holding short stubby legs.
Typical.

(Yes, I had to look it up. No, I can't sleep. No, I don't know why.)

Gloom, despair, and agony, oh me!
Deep dark depression,
Excessive misery!
If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all,
Gloom, despair, and agony, oh me!
(Without looking it up, mind you.)
