While I was trying not to grind my teeth into powder as I read the pathetic excuses my students call resumes, I noticed the girl next to me was reading an “urban erotic” novel (I didn’t even know this was a genre until I read the back bookflap) entitled “Thong on Fire” with the blurb on the front proclaiming “If you get thrown in the snake pit, you better learn how to wriggle!”
Oh, Bunni, how can you dis that? It’s surely the modern equivalent of Shakespeare.
Eat too, Brute!
That’s so extraordinarily awful that it makes me desperately want to read it. I mean, seriously. ‘Thong on Fire’? ‘...snake pit’? ‘....wriggle’?! If I could develop some sort of Mystery Science Theater 3000 for ‘literature’, this would totally be my inaugural book.
Poor, poor urban erotica Shakespeare:
1. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
2. To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps all up this pretty face. . .
3. He’s but a walking shadow, a poor layer, That sluts and frets his hour upon the bed, And then is hard no more.
4. Blow, blow, thou winter wench
5. O happy dagger!
6. Done to death by slaverous tongue was the hero that here lies
7. 36B, or 36D, that is the question
Oh, nice, Keith.
‘Frailty, thy name is beeyotch!’
‘O, That this too too solid flesh would melt,
Thaw, and resolve itself into a flaccid love hammer.’
heh heh, these are fun....
Shakespearian medical disclaimer:
Anyone experiencing too too solid flesh for more than 4 hours should consult an apothecary.
It amuses me that this sentence is tagged for “apothecary” “Shakespeare” and “thong.” I never knew you could even get all those elements into a single sentence.
Yes, of course. All of those things can be found in my stash of hoarded goodies.
I keep laughing about the use of beeyotch in reference to Shakespeare. Thanks for laugh, ‘Sir’.
Keith: 36B, or 36D, that is the question
A stand-up comedian used to do a bit as an incredibly drunk guy trying to open the door to his apartment. Once they keys were out, he would mime confusion looking at the two doors and then say “2B or not 2B, which is my apartment?”
Heh.
Well, I’m here to entertain. And to blow off steam. And because it’s part of my probation.
Probation? Damn that judge! Where are my kickbacks?
