Something I wrote caught the attention of a Chicago Tribune columnist

It's enjoyable to discover that someone who writes for a living, picks up on something I blogged, and does a post on it in his blog.

That's what happened last week when Eric Zorn of the Chicago Tribune has this entry on his Change of Subject blog:

Marathon Pundit" John Ruberry refers in this posting to prison as "the house with many doors."

I'd never heard this one before, but figure it's a good time to start collecting euphemisms and other slang terms for prison.

Pretty cool. Just a couple of problems. Sadly, I didn't invent the term. Worse, I can't remember where I came across it, but I suspect I read it in Cecil Adams' The Straight Dope column.
