I seriously accepted the notion that "poo" was an apt term for a pot of money.
I've read the Bible....
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous....And I've read Norman O. Brown....
Let's dance...

As I understand lucre, it is only called filthy when someone else holds on to it. The mili-second they turn it over to the Church or Crown, it by magic transforms into precious, pure gold.
For ye have the poop always with you.
Filthy Lucre was a great tour!
Most years my bracket ends up one place short of the money and when there's money for last place? Second to last...Yes, I've claimed more than my share of office poo.
I think that "poo(l)" was one letter beyond what the format would allow, and they either decided to lop off the "l" thinking most readers would read it as "pool", or they were were going to shorten it to "pot" (which in context is an inferior description) and didn't quite get there.
Ann's insertion of the Sex Pistols footage could be seen as subliminally advancing her case against meningitis shorts. Until this video, I thought there were no shorts in punk.

"Filthy lucre" refers not to money, as such, but to money obtained dishonestly.
BTW. This and "Bodies are the Pistols' greatest songs.
Rich or poor, it's good to have money.
The typo becomes more salient as you contemplate diving in at the deep end.
I hear that the Venezuelan Bolivar makes a decent butt-wipe.
But, but doesn’t the Post have editors and fact checkers and proofreaders? Or was that a long, long time ago in a different universe?
Simply looking at that excerpt from Brown convinces me anything he says is nonsense.
And nonsense that should have been transparently obvious when it was written, let alone now.
"Ann's insertion of the Sex Pistols footage could be seen as subliminally advancing her case against meningitis shorts. Until this video, I thought there were no shorts in punk."
Whoa! Meningitis shorts!
Speaking of typos....
It's almost always better to be filthy (feces?) rich than dirt poo(r).

What about Henry Rollins? He's always in shorts isn't he?
"Henry Rollins Wears Shorts to Funeral":
"“The shorts were expected,” said mourner Danny Snyder. “That said, the fact that he had formal wear on every other part of his body was kind of a shocker. Tim [Carr] must have meant a lot to him.”
"Carr, the deceased friend, had long admired Rollins’ public speaking work, and the family asked Rollins to give the eulogy. “I know [Rollins] isn’t really religious or anything,” said Linda Carr, the widow of the deceased. “But the man stood by the casket, with sculpted calves for all to see, and spoke for three full hours. He even read through a few chapters of Get in the Van for an encore. I have to say, his reading really brought the book to life — I felt like I was there, driving through the midwest with Black Flag. If Tim were alive to see that, he’d have died all over again.”
"Despite the comments on his attire, Rollins was unfazed.
"“I don’t see what the big fucking deal is here,” said Rollins, placing flowers on the casket. “I wore my best tiny black shorts, and I didn’t grab my crotch once. I didn’t even punch that guy who cried the entire time I spoke, and he totally deserved it. I’m practically the fucking pope.”
"According to public records, this was not the first time Rollins’ shorts have been an issue. Last year alone, the punk icon was spotted in similar skin-tight black shorts at multiple weddings, award shows, and day-to-day as a man over 40 years old. “Overall, I support [Rollins] choice of dress,” said Renee Scott, a former co-worker of Carr’s. “It was a beautiful service, and he was a big part of that. The shorts didn’t bother me. Him wearing jeans to the gym is what bothers me.”"

Dana Altman is one of the best basketball coaches of his generation and.... he is from Nebraska and coached at Creighton for years.
In 2012 in the ESPN contest, I got the champion right, the final two teams right, the final four correct, 7 of the final 8, 14 of the final 16, and 29 of the final 32. I finished in about 50,000th place.
There are also short pants in rock. Just ask Angus Young from AC/DC:

So much for the added pressure (or safety net) of Ann approving comments: I didn't even notice autocorrect's "meningitis shorts" till checking in. Commenters beware: Ann may approve comments that make you look stupid.

Somewhere on the interwebs there's semi famous video of a childhood friend at a Husker Dü show in the mosh, flashing his shorts and tube socks moments before he falls to the floor and is summarily stomped...
I was browsing in the Jazz section of Tower Records on lower Broadway in Manhattan years ago. I had my head down, flipping through the cds in the rack, and I saw a tattooed, heavily muscled calf just inches to my immediate right. I glanced up and it was Henry Rollins, also perusing the jazz cds. I did not say anything to him, but moved around him to continue my own search.
I think it's part of the "office poo" because people no longer give a sh!t about the NCAAs
"I glanced up and it was Henry Rollins, also perusing the jazz cds. I did not say anything to him, but moved around him to continue my own search."
Good move. It's basically what I've done every time I've found myself next to a celebrity who was doing something that was simply part of private life. I can't imagine wanting to cross that line. I'd only want to interact with them as a fellow human being.
