"Jump the Shark" Has

Okay, comrades? Politburo Diktat #78 -

Any blogger saying --- in whole, in part, or in any bloggily clever allusion --- "Jumped the Shark" will be shot.

This diktat is not mere caprice. The Commissar distinctly recalls use of phrase "Jumped the Shark" on Agonist Forum, in June 2003. One year is enough for such meme.

Try these instead:
"Popped the tape deck."
"Over like Friends."
"Tanked or topped," but not "tank-topped."
"That's fired!" (usable for another six months)
"Clocked and Yawned"

Spasibo.

Update: And Kevin was such tovarisch.

How about "dove into the clown pit"? "Courted the aliens"? "Danced with the Borgias"? "Entered his trike in the Indy 500"?

"Washintonienned"

"Was sent to his Undisclosed Location"

"Has been out-schticked"

"Dean-ed himself"
