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 म्हणाले...

"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 म्हणाले...

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

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

अनामित म्हणाले...

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

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

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

Mr.Murder म्हणाले...

The Dirty Blvd.

JSE म्हणाले...

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.

अनामित म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

Let's be even more obscure.

What Velvet Underground song mentions sex with vegetables?

steve simels म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

How old are you again?

Moe Szyslak म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

I guess Ann's sleeping it off.

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

Moe Szyslak म्हणाले...

A Sale of Two Titties.

Moe Szyslak म्हणाले...

You know, there are only two things in the world that smell like tuna.

steve simels म्हणाले...

...and one of them is tuna.

Moe Szyslak म्हणाले...

Doctor Marigold's Prescriptions

steve simels म्हणाले...

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

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

steve simels म्हणाले...

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

Moe Szyslak म्हणाले...

Okay, okay. I'll take off and leave Ann with her

Holiday Romance

Moe Szyslak म्हणाले...

And

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 म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

Screwged, by the ghost of XXXmas past.

steve simels म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

Moe -- ohmigod!

She's busted!!!!

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

Its "The Gift," isn't it?
