"Stinkerton" upstages Madama Butterfly (To Bruce and My Friends)
RO...@webtv.net
a journalist but really a tenor determined to finally "upstage" Madama
Butterfly!!
I can't believe this! Here I am in my finest hour singing my "Un Bel
Di" with my high C soaring to the Heavens preparing to jab the dagger
into my breast, and "Stinkerton" as usual not knowing what act he is
supposed to be in, comes storming on stage with his troop of escapees
from "Alt.Support.Cuckoos" and tears the dagger from my hand singing the
"Addio fiorito asil"! Puccini is turning in his grave!! I mean what
is it with the "confession". I could have gone out in great "Grand
Opera" style. Well, I'll be dammed if I let il tenor destroy my great
tragic scene. Last tenor that tried to do that, I ruined his life by
marrying him! He's NEVER been the same since! <g> So now I feel I MUST
return if only to plot my "next" finest hour (of revenge on
Stinkerton)!<g>
BTW, you guys must really belong in "Alt.Support.Cuckoos" if you really
want something like ME back. I give you fair warning. The majority of
opera roles I learned were Lucia (she goes completely bonkers and kills
her hubby) Madama Butterfly (she don't have no hubby so kills herself
instead) Tosca (jumps off a paraphet), Violetta from Traviata and Mimi
(die of consumption) and Gilda from Rigoletto (who stupidly literally
gets "knifed in the sack"). So I steer to being toward the tragic
melodramatic side. I was never too good at comedy (at least until I
entered THIS asylum). SO to Brucie or any others who trigger off my
"emotions" prepare yourself thusly. I love hard, cry hard, and "fight"
hard! But loving is what I like to do most so since this is the best
place to do it, I return singing: " Sempre Libera" (and please
someone hold Brucie off stage until I finish. <g> Thanks guys for being
so understanding about my circumstances and making me feel so welcome
inspite of it. I love you all!!

Brucie "understudy" my part at times. All it takes is a good punch to
his gut and he hits those "high" notes almost as good as I do. (I said
"almost")<g> And he looks so GREAT in those "tights" when he does the
Duke in Rigoletto!!
Also, Kitty, I had to return to protect Kenny. He wouldn't stand a
chance around us once we got his "boxers" off!!! Right Ladies??<g> I
bet this was the quickest Debut/Farewell/Return any singer or moo cow
ever had! Thanks for bringing me back from retirement. See you at the
"party".

We'll just install a revolving door here on the ng. That way whenever
someone gets a wild hair, they can make an Oscar worthy farewell speech,
take a few spins in the door to let centrifugal force return the blood
to their brains, and spit them back out on the ng into the welcoming
arms of their adoring fans!
Geez - We have a big exit at least once a month - You just had yours in
record time! Shall we see if we can make the next newbie make the cycle
within the first 24 hours of showing up? -beg-

Bruce they want to remain "anonymous" and he'll personally spin them
through the door in the first hour! <g> But that's okey. I'm opening
up a section of my pasture just for all newbie "anons" and Bruce won't
be allowed in that section. Moo Moo will protect them. I love the
revolving door idea.
BTW, some folks are missing this post and still asking me NOT to leave.
You think they are really trying to use "reverse psychology" on me? Too
late, I've already stockpiled a LOT of ways to get even with Brucie
goosey. (Disconnect ME will he!) He forgets. He's only half Italian.
I'M the WHOLE cannoli! I wonder if he can translate "MAFIA"? <bg>

You really think with an insano like yours truly around he EVER gets
bored and needs to go play "naughty, naughty in closets". If variety is
the "spice of life" then it pays a man to find the nuts like me with
all the multiple personalities. <g> It's gotten so bad that when he
walks in a room now he usually says: "Excuse me, but who are you
tonight?" <g>
You also think I would be "anons" if I didn't make darn sure "weirdos"
like you couldn't find me? BTW, music and the arts are not the only
things I'm pretty up on. Guess what ELSE I can outdo you in? This ole
moo moo has been to many pastures! I've got a list so looooong you
don't have enough lifetimes to check them all! So go play with your
little computer thingees and I'll do something more constructiive with
my time. I think I'll be "Tosca" tonight for hubby. He loves the part
where I go up to the roof and jump off! (Whatever turns you guys on, huh

BTW, this is when I wish I had a printer. I would print your words ,
"ENLARGE" them, and mail to a certain "villian" with a twisted sense of
humor! It's a good thing I don't have his real address!! Did you know
the "F" word is a real word. It's taken from the german and "used" to
be in the old dictionaries but when nice people like me starting using
it with that "excuse", they took it out! It's not in my new Websters so
I'm not allowed to say it any longer. Thank goodness you don't worry

back in written form no further than the early 16th century - a far cry from
the Old English period. A personal name John le Fucker, however recorded
from 1278, shows that it was around before 1500 (perhaps not committed to
paper because even then it as and a taboo) There is little doubt that it is
of Germanic origin, but it's precise source was never been satisfactorily
identified. All the earliest know examples of the word come from Scotland,
which may suggests A Scandinavian source, related to Norwegian dialect
fukka 'copulate,' and Swedish dialect focka copulate, hit' and fock 'penis.'

WHOA Kitty! I can do my OWN work in this department. Beloved you don't

to Brucie Goosey, I hope you were indicating "your" desire and he
doesn't think we're doing a "Cyrano" thing here. I can proposition my
own guys thank you and at the moment I'm not sending out offers. <g>
Besides, I sent him a "cigar" and I don't do "cigar" tricks. <g> Now

he left for sunny Arizona. Every room in the house had a slide deadbolt
lock on both the inside and the outside of every door. The gentlemen down
the block (who shall remain nameless) headed the dockworkers union and his
house was sprayed with machine gun fire on two occasions that I know of.
His son was kidnapped once which brought the FBI into our neighborhood for a
few days.
A next door neighbor two doors down was arrested for being a hitman who
killed at least five people. "Pete" was the gentlest guy you'd ever meet,
too, Always had a magic trick to show the kids, give us firecrackers on the
fourth of July, etc. The papers called him "Ice Pick Pete" after his
arrest, a side of him we thankfully never saw. The corner gas station ran
untaxed cigarettes and the local drugstore was a bookie joint.
I know "la cosa nostra" quite well, thank you!
Neopolitans say "thingee" but Sicilians are southerners and say "thang!"

the term "thang". I guess I hung around too many Neopolitans in my day.
Wow! what an interesting childhood. Almost as fascinating as mine. You
know what they say don't you? "The Mafia only killed people who
"deserved" killing". It's true. In real life they were the nicest
people they just had this "thing" about them. You messed in their turf
you got wiped out. (NO! I am not defending the Mafia! Just giving a
viewpoint here.) Thanks for the memories.

BTW, I really need to go to bed since we ALL can't be "vampires" on this
funny farm but I am sitting here laughing looking at some of the
headings on the postings. Are we REALLY having a discussion on the "F"
word? I mean can you imagine a poor "Newbie" innocently opening up one
of these posts to find what is hidden inside. Rare treasures indeed!!
They probably think they hit the wrong button and got "alt.porn." by

I was a secretary for the president of a company who turned out to be
the godson of the head of a 'family'. This was in a state not usually
noted for that sort of thing. I didn't have a clue until someone warned
me that the large envelopes he was having me deliver all over town were
filled with cocaine YIKES!!! He told me they were legal papers and I
believed him, because all my 'deliveries' were to lawyers, judges, a
bank president and other 'upstanding citizens' AT THEIR OFFICES!!!
Needless to say, Kitty quit the next day!

machine in the back to knead dough. Imagine a stainless steel hot-tub with
a ship's propeller in the middle of it and a motor strong enough to churn
very sticky dough. One night the owner showed up with a rather dubious
looking crowd and told us to all go home, giving all three of us crisp, new
$50 bills (I had never seen one before). The next day it was clear that the
kneader had been in operation and meticulously cleaned up (it was dirty when
I left it and it was my job to clean it.)
Having been taught to mind my own business by my Italian mom I never asked
what they did with it but I can assure you it was powerful enough to grind a
human body into tomato paste, bones and all.
Even funnier was that we immediately stopped the practice of calling in 4
pizzas at the end of the day that no one ever picked up so we could take
them back to the dorm instead of trashing them.

from discussing the "F" word to the "mob"! Krissy, you better be
careful revealing details of your "grandpa". You know this IS an
international internet and might be some " Mafia relatives" in Italy
still looking for "his family". <g> And it was supposed to be a
"secret" society. Boy! Good thing they didn't have the internet when
the Mafia was in full bloom!! Kitty, Brucie and Krissy would be going
sleepy time in the river. Am I the only one on here smart enough to be
"anonymous"??? <bg>
It's okey. I know the "big" guys. I'll protect you. (all but Brucie
that is).
BTW, guess what nightmares I had last night? Righto. I spent the entire
night being chased by the "mob", machine guns and all and Bruce was
leading the pack screaming at me that I either say the "F" word in
public or get blown away! I want my public to know I did not give up my
honor! I got Kitty to "dub" it in for me and was saved! Bless you

Ah, Nocki, now look what you've gone and done. This is undoubtedly
going to be the asa record off-topic long thread, and I'd say it's all
your fault if it weren't obvious how many others were just waiting for
an excuse to chime in. :-)
The November issue of "Harper's Magazine" has an extract from an essay
in "Verbatim," a newsletter about the English language. The author is
also the author of "The F-Word," (Random House), of which a revised
edition will appear next May.
To pick up a few highlights from Harper's:
"Interest in the historical aspect of the word ' ' has always been
high." You betcha!
The earliest example appears to be in a [enciphered] 15th century poem,
"Flen Flyys," and concerns monks engaging in the named behavior.
"For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" is 'completely bogus and first appeared
in 1967.'
The first printed use in America was in 1926; in mainstream movies,
around 1970 (M*A*S*H*, Myra Breckenridge). It was in The Atlantic
Monthly, Harper's, Playboy, and others by the 1960s, but not in the New
Yorker until 1985.
Insulting or pejorative compounds and derivatives seem to date back at
least to WW II, and apparently are known in the UK and Australia as well
as the US.
