I guessed right, but I had to do a web search to confirm the answer, so I won't claim any credit.

Is either the origin or destination of ________ somewhere in Wisconsin?

Edited to not give it away, if anyone just wanted a hint.

Ron કહ્યું...

"He didn't have enough money to go to Wisconsin in the accepted fashion, true, but why not mail himself? It was absurdly simple."

The Gift!

Ron કહ્યું...

The Violent Femmes had an album entitled "Viva Wisconsin!"

er, ah, nothing inferred or implied about our always-charming vortextress, of course!

અજ્ઞાત કહ્યું...

I think Ron is right. It must be from "The Gift."

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

Yeah, "The Gift" is right. Hadn't listened to that in a long time.

Mr.Murder કહ્યું...

The Dirty Blvd.

JSE કહ્યું...

I can't name many bands about whom I'd say "as far as I know, they only recorded one really bad song," but the Velvet Underground is one, and "The Gift" is it.

અજ્ઞાત કહ્યું...

Love the new photo, Ann. It takes ten years off your age, easy. You almost look sort of...attractive. For an older woman, I mean.

steve simels કહ્યું...

Let's be even more obscure.

What Velvet Underground song mentions sex with vegetables?

steve simels કહ્યું...

You know, now that I think of it, Lou Reed could have written a great album about sex with carrot sticks and onion rings.

Wait -- that's "Metal Machine Music."

hdhouse કહ્યું...

I suppose its not a good thing to mention that I've never heard of the velvet underground.

I have heard of Wisconsin though.

Moe Szyslak કહ્યું...

How old are you again?

Moe Szyslak કહ્યું...

I mean, the Velvet Underground? Weren't they around in like the 1950s or something? Let's see, you must be, um [subtracting, borrow the one...] oh, like in you 60s, huh?

steve simels કહ્યું...

I guess Ann's sleeping it off.

Hell, we could post the complete works of Dickens in longhand before she starts a new thread.

steve simels કહ્યું...

Moe, I'm having a ball as well, but we probably should stop.

We're just driving her hits counter up....

steve simels કહ્યું...

I wonder if it's unconstitutional to be shallow, self-absorbed and and banal.

It's mighty mighty, just lettin' it all hang out.

I have a vision of Ann around eight this morning -- rousing herself from her pastoral torpor, pushing the chardonnay bottles off the futon, staggering to her computer and going "Whathefuck????? Dickens porn?"

steve simels કહ્યું...

A bloody fetus
On a marble slab
A toothless blowjob
In a taxicab
Syphylitic sailors
sucking slimy scabs

These foolish things
Remind me of you...

rorschach કહ્યું...

Screwged, by the ghost of XXXmas past.

steve simels કહ્યું...

A prophylactic
Bearing lipstick traces
A pubic hairline
Where your smiling face is
Gay boys in bondage
Tied with leather laces

These foolish things
Remind me of you....

steve simels કહ્યું...

A nude portrait
Of Liberace
A young chap saying
Suck my hachie
A plate of afterbirth
On your hibachi

These foolish things
Remind me of you....


Ooh wah.

steve simels કહ્યું...

Hey Ann -- screw the veggie porn.

It's fruit you need to worry about!

I think that hippy chick with the Banana is Ann! She'd be the right age, right?

steve simels કહ્યું...

Moe -- ohmigod!

She's busted!!!!

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

You think because you're liberals that you can't be sexist and homophobic, but you are. You're also not cute or funny or clever. You think you are somehow. Good luck.

Wow -- that's the kind of riposte that could be mistaken for banter at the Algonquin Roundtable. Not.

Why don't you just go "nyah, nyah, nyah."

Now you're just plagiarizing. It was Virgiana Woolf who originally said "nyah, nyah, nyah," to Djuna Barnes.

Over tea.

Damn -- I thought it was the brother/sister team of Radclyffe and Monty Hall.

steve simels કહ્યું...

Jessus, Ann, will you put up a new thread already and put us out of our misery?

Otherwise we can keep this up all day....

Common Sense Dancing કહ્યું...

Its "The Gift," isn't it?
