Twelve Exclamations Likely to Be Heard at My Gig Tuesday

• "Yowzah!"
• "Shazam!"
• "Boo-yah!"
• "Boo!" (no 'yah')
• "BART sucks almost as much as you guys are awesome!"
• "Thelonious Monk on a cracker!"
• "Great Googly-Jazzlies!"
• "Holy Missing Saxophonist!" [Update: "Holy Special Guest Saxophonist!"--See below.]
• "Woo-hoo!--and, kind sirs, I differentiate this woo-hoo, which expresses admiration and enjoyment, from the woo-hoo of drunken partygoers on fake cable-car buses, which expresses only the need to fit in with the other people shouting 'Woo-hoo.'"
• "Turn that crap down so I can hear what my drunk friend is shouting! Oh, never mind, it was just 'Woo-hoo!'"
• "Play Puttin' on the Ritz!"
• "I just gave the band a big tip, and you know what? I feel great!"
