Damn you Monica. You have birthdays every friggin year.
When we say, "I'll take a rain- check on that," we translate a social invitation into a sporting event, stepping up the conventional regret to an image of spontaneous disappointment: "Your invitation is not just one of those casual gestures that I must brush off. It makes me feel all the frustration of an inter rupted ball game that I can't get with it."
Marshall Mcluhan, Understanding Media, Chapter 6, page 59.
