Sandstone

Famous orgy-house and "commune" in Topanga, California in the '70s.

I went to Sandstone once. It wasn't a "three-way"; it was a ten-way. Those were the days!

Tonya Harding

Oregonian champion ice skater, celebrity boxer, and troublemaker, but for all that, a beautiful resilient person from the wrong side of the tracks. In short, America's sweetheart.

The picture of Tonya Harding climbing down from the pickup in a floor-length gown is beautiful.

dog in that fight

"I don't have a dog in that fight," means "I don't have a stake in the outcome." Not quite so strong as call somebody who gives a shit.

This expression is neo-Texan.

Russians are fighting Chechens. We Uruguayans don't have a dog in that fight.

shtick

A bit from a comedy or other showbiz routine; by extension, any person's idiosyncratic performance. From Yiddish "shtick" = Ger. "stuck", meaning "piece."

I asked him for me $20 back, and he went into his usual shtick -- something about losing at pinochle.
