Awesome Idiom of the Day -- Jumping the Shark

"The phrase jump the shark refers to the climactic scene in "Hollywood", the third part (written by Fred Fox, Jr.[4]) of a three-part episode opening the fifth season of the American TV series Happy Days in September 1977. In this story, the central characters visit Los Angeles, where Fonzie (Henry Winkler), wearing swim trunks and his leather jacket, jumps over a confined shark on water skis, answering a challenge to demonstrate his bravery. However, according to Henry Winkler, the fact of the matter is that his character, Fonzie, decided to jump the shark because he told Potsie he'd do it.[5] The series continued for nearly seven years after that, with a number of changes in cast and situations."

I like the idea of the Automobile Adventurist, and the looks of the folk in the background, particularly the helmeted man on the wagon...

This Night Only by Kenneth Rexroth

This Night Only

by Kenneth Rexroth

[Eric Satie: GYMNOPÉDIE #1]

Moonlight   now   on Malibu
The winter night   the few stars
Far away   millions   of miles
The sea   going on   and on
Forever   around   the earth
Far   and   far   as your lips   are near
Filled   with the same light   as your eyes
Darling   darling   darling
The future   is long gone by
And the past   will never happen
We have   only this
Our one forever
So small   so infinite
So brief   so vast
Immortal   as our hands that touch
Deathless   as the firelit wine we drink
Almighty   as this single kiss
That has no beginning
That will never
Never
End
