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.
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?
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?"
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.

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.
"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!
The Violent Femmes had an album entitled "Viva Wisconsin!"
er, ah, nothing inferred or implied about our always-charming vortextress, of course!
I think Ron is right. It must be from "The Gift."

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

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.
Let's be even more obscure.
What Velvet Underground song mentions sex with vegetables?
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."
I suppose its not a good thing to mention that I've never heard of the velvet underground.
I have heard of Wisconsin though.
How old are you again?

I guess Ann's sleeping it off.
Hell, we could post the complete works of Dickens in longhand before she starts a new thread.
A Sale of Two Titties.
The Wickdick Capers.
You know, there are only two things in the world that smell like tuna.
...and one of them is tuna.
Hard Times.
Great Expectations!
Did you ever see a jew
Jitsu?
Well, I did.
Our Mutual Friend

I don't know about you, Moe, but I'm cracking myself up.
This blog is like...
The Old Curiosity Shop.
Great Ann Althouse aliases:
The Miss Havisham of Wingnuttia.
The One Woman Non-sequitur Generator.
Debbie Schlussel With Warmth.
steve, I'm having a grand time. And Annie's gonna come back and get her panties in an
Olive Twist.
She'll need more of
Doctor Marigold's Prescriptions
Moe, I'm having a ball as well, but we probably should stop.
We're just driving her hits counter up....
I wonder if it's unconstitutional to be shallow, self-absorbed and and banal.
Okay, okay. I'll take off and leave Ann with her
Holiday Romance
And
Master Humphrey's Cock.

It's a Bleak House, to be sure.

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

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...
Screwged, by the ghost of XXXmas past.
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....
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.
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?
Moe -- ohmigod!
She's busted!!!!

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.
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....
Its "The Gift," isn't it?
