v28.2: The Endings

Morning folks,

-slurp-

Don't be alarmed, I am not ending Musings over Coffee.  I was rereading a few of my musings and found that there was a time when I would end each musing with a witty piece of advice or pure randomness.  After chatting with a friend at work about it, he agreed that I should dedicate an entire musing to the "Endings" of all my previous musings.  Some are a good laugh so grab a coffee, sit back and enjoy the ride.

-slurp-



Before we get started I wanted to give a little background on why I ended my musings the way I did.  Back when I first started Musings over Coffee I used to end each musing with "Keep your stick on the ice" or some variation of that phrase.  My wife used to get annoyed with me and told me to stop ending my musings that way or she would stop reading them.  As a way of lashing out, I decided to randomly end each musing with a useless piece of advice (or at the time I thought it was useless) or a completely random phrase.  You will see below that there are quite a few different ones and in my recent musings I've decided to bring this random ending back.

-slurp-

For today's Musing Trivia question, I want you to tell me how many times I ended my musings with the "keep your stick on the ice" phrase.  As mentioned above there are many variations of the phrase I used (sticks on the ice for example) so make sure to include those in your calculations.  This is also the last day I will be doing Musings Trivia so you will have until Monday morning to get your answers in for all the musings.

-slurp-

Enough chatter, on with the The Endings!
