  Exactly what is 'The Pompatus' of The Lottery??? 

  Why I bet Tucker Black, Brock Lee and KY Floyd don't even know! 

  Wolfman Jack spoke of "The pompatus of love" in The Guess Who's hit 'Clap for The Wolfman' 1974. So it must be something good, right?  G5 

  Play Smart! That's IF there is such a thing as playing smartly!!

  "The Joker" by Steve Miller Band

  
  Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah
  Some call me the gangster of love
  Some people call me Maurice
  Cause I speak of the pompatous of love

  "Pompatus" is a nonsense word coined by Steve Miller in the 1973 song "The Joker," often referring to a mysterious, grand, or charismatic quality, specifically the "pompatus of love". It originated from a misheard lyric ("puppetutes") in the 1954 song "The Letter" by Vernon Green and the Medallions, which Miller adapted.

  givefive cares. when he becomes new money, he is going to try to impress old money with his knowledge of epismetology and anecdotes from his dentist. if he succeeds, he will be invited to their top secret tree house. if he fails, they will eat him. the stakes are high! and if you're a midget at the grocery store sometimes the steaks are high too.

  Let's not forget the family dynamic stories like his daughters causing trouble when they visit. The blue chip crowd will love those stories.

  Maybe yes, maybe not so much . . .

  Pompatous versus Pompadour
  The pompatous hairstyle is a women's hairstyle that involves sweeping the hair upwards from the face and wearing it high over the forehead. In contrast, the pompadour is a men's hairstyle that features hair swept upwards and back over the head, with the sides and back combed neatly and kept close to the head. The pompadour is often associated with Elvis Presley and has evolved into a versatile and stylish choice for men.

  Lotterology is the pompatus of the lottery.

  I once was a space cowboy and a gangster of love.

  When I was a joker and a midnight toker, speaking of the pompatus of love was my hobby.

  Now that i'm older, I speak of the pompatus of the lottery.
