Crapshoot
Does anybody know where the term crapshoot came from? We all know what it means but did it derive from the game craps or did some guy way into his pooping think that when his poop comes out he never knows what its going to look like each time. Hence a crapshoot.
In Coffee News: Sure we know the bourbon, but Mr. Daniels makes some damn fine coffee as well. Thanks Headie for the gift as well as the others.... and get back to blogging.
Today's Movie Quote: "Jeff, you know if someone came in here, they wouldn't believe what they'd see? You and me with long faces plunged into despair because we find out a man didn't kill his wife. We're two of the most frightening ghouls I've ever known."

Unfortunately for your scatalogically themed blog, crapshoot comes from the game craps.
When you roll the dice it is a crapshoot. You are the shooter.
