(funniest cheap-novel euphemism for an erect penis: Steaming Stalk. Can't remember where I read that, but what made it particularly funny was that I think the author was not trying to be funny; I recall a sex scene in a Blackford Oakes novel by William F Buckley, where he said something about the woman's hand "seeking its prey"....which struck me as vaguely troubling!) nonsequitur - our young folks, on the way home after a weekend at grandma's http://bp1.blogger.com/_TMnBKLCNAcM/SDDSoAKLfeI/AAAAAAAAAIg/RFQbo7COVoI/s320/sleeping.

A few of the less prosaic ones that I have come across (so to speak) include 'kitty', 'cream doughnut', and 'tunnel of love'. In child-birth classes they kept referring to "the birth canal" - and I thought referring to that region as a "canal" lent itself to all sorts of silly puns! Steve Martin's 'The Jerk' had his "Special Purpose", which strikes me as a useful, unisex reference! Hmmmmm….

And for the threadweaver award, how about words for pussy that are fun to say? One such is vajayjay, which I first heard from Oprah. Your second question occurred to me too, Cosmo.

So be it. Be advised: Sidney Crosby will be cutting his Stanley Cup teeth on the puck McCarty shoves in his mouth and seven-million-dollar man Marian Hossa will be going in for dental work on every off day! We do NOT mess around! Here's an amazing stat: Crosby, who has captured the imagination of fans the way Gretsky and Lemieux did a generation ago, is paid just $850,000 per season...he's worth fifteen million, and he'll get it within a few short years. Here's some real bullshit: both the NHL and the NBA have games on at the same time Saturday. C'mon! The NFL doesn't go against the World Series on those Sunday nights !!

As the mother of two daughters, I'm, uh, not OK with that. And going back to yesterday's comments & Jeff's "effective energy policy" links, yes, absolutely. Imagine if we'd devoted every dollar spent in Iraq instead to achieving energy independence. Would we be there? Probably not. Would we be a darn sight closer than we are now? Yeah. Not to mention, not mired in an unwinnable war. The CNN clip is my final piece of proof that racism is not OK anymore, but sexism is still fine.
