The 2008 List of Words to Be Banished from the Queen’s English for Mis-use, Over-use and General Uselessness was released on December 30th 2008, and there was one word in that list I was very upset to see.

Maverick.

Believe me, I was sick of hearing every fifth word out of John McCain’s and Sarah Palin’s mouths be “maverick.” They totally beat the thing into the ground and ruined it. Especially for folks like me who happen to like REAL Mavericks. Y’know, the good lookin’, poker playin’, cowboyin’, shuckin’ and jivin’ while lookin’ debonaire kind…

Which reminds me… Hey! Warner Brothers! You blew it with your 50th Anniversary thing back in 2005 by teasing us and saying you were going to put this show out on DVD.  Yeah, so you put threeepisodes out on DVD?!  What the hell is that? C’mon! Get this show on DVD…NOW!

Ahem…thank you. Now, where was I?

Oh yeah, the word Maverick being beaten to death. Thanks a lot O Ye Who Were Not Mavericks for totally killing the word! Between that and the still lacking DVD release from WB, I’m all riled up!
