The origin of YIKES is this. I went to get lunch at this sushi place in Buckhead. I was sitting at the bar eating my buffet plate. Some guy came in and he caught my attention by the door. Then he was seated and he got out of my line of sight. A while later as I was eating, my mind became filled with images of slaves in a tunnel in a torture dungeon. The man working at the bar making the sushi looked at me and it was obvious from the look on his face that he was wondering why his mind had suddenly become filled with these images, as mine had. I said to him, "Yikes," to acknowledge the weird moment's context of the images. When I got up to leave, I saw that the man who had caught my attention was seated right behind me in a booth, facing me, so to be looking at the man at the bar were my position at the stool removed.
I once saw Eric Cantor delivering a dolly of frozen fish in that Ru San's. Steve Collins, who was the main guy in the Atlanta child murders, owns the company that delivers all Ru San's fresh vegetable produce. Soon after, though Cantor was speaker of the house, he got primaried and lost his seat in Congress. Cantor claimed to be Jewish and Steve had once told me that he went to the bat mitzvah of a famous cantor in Chicago.
Joey's mom, before she "went crazy" follow her and Steve's divorce, was from a family that used to deliver fish in Atlanta. They went out of business but Steve's produce business is the main one in Atlanta.
