We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

So they are the Georgetown "Whats!"?

Yep. I think it's a word associated with Jesuit colleges. Even though Marquette was the Warriors (before they changed to the Golden Eagles), the fight song went:

Ring out Ahoya with an M-U rah-rah
M-U rah-rah
M-U rah-rah-rah-rah-rah
Ring out Ahoya with an M-U rah-rah
M-U rah-rah for old Marquette!

It wasn't Shakespeare, but it was fun to sing and play on my clarinet. I could probably pull the arrangement out of the 25 y.o. depths of my memory if I tried, since we played it often enough at basketball games.

Because books.

There's a scene in the FX show with a conversation about the word, which includes a gay comic.

Was that the scene where they were playing poker? Because there was one poker scene where they started talking about being gay, and I couldn't believe the language they got away with.

Trust my rage

This conversation is making me wonder if all the good and creative names are in the South/East. Maybe because those schools have been around the longest?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That one.

And then he talked more about it on a Fresh Air interview -- not the most recent one, the one from a year or more ago. This is what I appreciate about CK -- he's very thoughtful. He's not always right, and he can be offensive, but he's not mindlessly offensive.

Another tooth lost! Apparently it never loses its thrill. (Sara, not me, of course.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I would watch the whole scene. Basically what we're saying is that Louie CK doesn't talk about f****t unthinkingly -- or any epithet, really, he's famous for "my daughter is a c**t"-- his comedy is reliant on the idea that we're all terrible people.

Exactly. The show can be a little uneven, but he's always good.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I do not even know who you guys are talking about! I live under a rock.
