Still in other words, it’s, like, karma; it’s, like, the wheels of fortune doing its thing – running round and round all the time even though we may not be aware of it doing so.
Anyways, that’s it about chickens coming home to roost, an age-old expression which, by the way, Americans still use quite a lot today.
And here are media examples:
1. Is the Chagrin Falls pumpkin roll doomed? If so, it’s a victim of its own success and our media-saturated society.
The roll used to be Chagrin’s best-kept secret. Then it made the dailies, and TV cameras showed up. Now it’s posted on YouTube and FaceBook, and it even has its own Wikipedia page, wikipedia.org/Pumpkin-roll. It used to involve only teens from Chagrin Falls, but the coverage drew outsiders -- something that frustrated local kids who wanted to keep it small and local.
All the publicity turned regional spotlights on the roll, and village leaders -- who, in truth, have looked the other way for 39 years -- began to worry that it was a safety and liability risk.
This year, that fear came home to roost when an errant sled struck a Solon man watching on the sidewalk. He went flying and ended up in MetroHealth Medical Center with serious head injuries. Now several Solon women are calling for an end to the tradition. That’s not likely to happen. The roll is a rite of passage for Chagrin Falls teenagers. It began 39 years ago when members of the Chagrin Falls High School Class of 1969 rolled 69 pumpkins down Grove Hill one autumn night. The kids organize it and are determined to perpetuate the tradition. No self-respecting CFHS class wants to be the one to stop the pumpkin roll.
