Oh my God. You weren't supposed to mention that. When I get to work I am going to lash you until you drop, you offensive minx!
I think the awesomeness of my new, Gmail-enabled post outweighs the punishment.
Great Scott! Yesterday, Donna strutted by my desk and asked me what my favorite name for a band was. Before I could answer, she gleefully announced that hers was "The Donnas." Get it? Her name is Donna and the band is The Donnas. Anyway, because I can rarely say the p-word out loud, I wrote down "Nashville Pussy" on the back of my budget. And then she of course said it out loud, the floozy. Good grief, the whole charm of it is in the not being able to speak it.
Some people just don't have any pussy control.
Hehe.
I think the name really works. But it's the Nashville that does it.
If it were like Miami Pussy or Lawrence Pussy or Phoenix Pussy or something like that, even Memphis Pussy, it just wouldn't have the same magic.
The name of their fan club — brace yourself — is the Pussy Posse. (They should be crucified.)
Filth! That name is a product of the decrepit dominion of hormone-driven vulgarity that passes for 21st-century America. Who is responsible for this abortion?!
It's America's fixation with pussy galore.
The was a band when I went to SXSW in 2000 with a memorable name: Alabama Thunderpussy.
Hehe, Erin! (In "Notes on a Scandal," the narrator loathes banjos and any hint of hormone-driven vulgarity). Hehe
My God, is Pussy Galore a band?
Oh my God, G, you should have warned me that there was sound!
What is SXSW? Are normal people supposed to know what that means?
Oh, and it's certainly a sign of moral decay that the pussy post is garnering all the comments. Read the book, you retarded degenerates!
(And, please, let's not have some smartass get on here and lamely point out that I made most of these comments. That's entirely beside the point.)
SXSW si South by Southwest, the big music and film festical in Austin. We had enough articles about them in the J-W I figured people would know what I was talking about.
Also, kc/kim. You know your display name changes depending on which account you're using, right?
Oh, kc, are you serious about who Pussy Galore was?
Who was it, G?
She was the Bond girl from "Goldfinger." Hence the Austin Powers spoof with a woman named "Alotta Fagina."
Is "Goldfinger" some vulgarism, too?
Good grief, just today I had to get on the new guy about a photo kicker that read "The iceman throweth" (some dud shoveling his drive). Eugene O'Neil's "The Iceman Cometh," hello, is a literal reference to ejaculation. How come everyone knows the phrase and uses it everytime there's an ice picture, but no one frickin' knows what it means?????
(that was just to console myself about not knowing the pussy galore reference)
Not as blatant as "Goldmember."
I looked up the origin of the Character, and here's what Wikipedia says:
"The villain's name was borrowed from Fleming's neighbor, architect Ernő Goldfinger, and his character bears some resemblance. Erno Goldfinger consulted his lawyers when the book was published, prompting Fleming to suggest renaming the character "Goldprick", but eventually settled out of court in return for his costs, six copies of the book, and an agreement that the characters' first name Auric would always be used."
Did you change the kicker to "Snow job"?
No, because a few months ago, when SF wrote the kicker "Slick job," I had to announce a STRICT no-jobs rule.
Speaking of snow, certain people are also fond of the cliche "the white stuff," which nauseates me.
The white stuff nauseates you? Is that why you're gay?
No jobs?!
So you couldn't have used "Take this job and shovel it"? Man, so much for creative headlines!
Did you say something, Gloria?
George, thanks for answering the Pussy Galore query. I couldn't access Blogger.
KC, didn't the copy editors have an argument about whether the "iceman cometh" was sexual? Anyway, I think the "iceman anythingeth" is too obvious for a headline.
