Not me. I had her pegged for a crazed trollop from the very beginning.
Yeah never did anything for me.
I will now commence ogged imagining himself as Scott Baio.
Add an extra imagining in 2. I certainly hope I never commence ogged.
isn't 32-38 young for the joanie loves chachi demographic. I'm 40 and I put myself in the middle of it.
But she was also on Happy Days before that. You're just a perv.
This prompts my desire for a new designation, a la NSFW. Like, NSF those who want to keep their breakfast down? NSFTWWTKTBD?
4: I think it is, yeah. I'm more of the Tina Yothers demographic.
Didn't Scott Baio sleep with the 1980s? Less ridiculous aspirationally than say Emilio Estevez or Tom Cruise.
Also, what's wrong with crazed?
This prompts my desire for a new designation, a la NSFW.
NSFL (not safe for lunch) gets used here and there.
More scary than watching that video is the thought that somewhere someone is watching that video and getting really turned on by it.
The Spitzer story looks like it's ultimately sourced to Spitzer. Not surprising that he'd think she knew. At least in fictional adultery stories, it's not uncommon for the adulterer to be convinced that their spouse knows, but their spouse actually doesn't - maybe suspects, but can't quite believe - and then is shocked to find it out. I think Anna Karenina starts with a misunderstanding of this type. And how could real life ever possibly be different from that in a novel?
Via the Superficial, who also tells me that Spitzer's wife knew about the hookers.
I almost always assume the wife of these type of guys knows, but there's are differences between "knowing" it, being confronted with it, and being publicly confronted with it.
Didn't Scott Baio sleep with the 1980s?
13: Baio is one of those guys whose (apparently) enormous appeal I just can't figure out.
I was so freaked out by the self-applied ass slap that I didn't even notice when she started in on the fake orgasm thing. I'm devastated.
I think Baio slept with most of those women before they were very famous, so it might be that he just knows where to fish, so to speak. You have to figure that a non-gross somewhat-famous guy doesn't have a lot of trouble sleeping with aspiring starlets, and some of them actually become starlets, which makes him seem more impressive.... Is this comment gross? I can't tell anymore.
Last I heard, Scott Baio was attending cuddle parties.
It is to shudder.
Is this comment gross? I can't tell anymore.
Yes.
Or no, I mean, no! It's not! Do go on, Ogged. If you were in Scott Baio's shoes....
18 is quite gross, yes. Also, quite a few famous to semi-famous people are basically scuzzy.
Let's make this the "if you were scuzzy, you would . . . " thread.
I would totally be an abusive harridan.
And Laura Ingalls.
Just imagine yourself in Scott Baio's shoes. Without denying the scuzziness of what he did, would you have gotten to the point of sleeping with Laura Ingalls?
27: What? Scott Baio slept with Laura Ingalls?!
I am now officially disillusioned.
Mostly OT, but interesting:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20080410/sc_livescience/whybeautifulwomenmarrylessattractivemen
32: I thought you didn't know who Laura Ingalls was, liar.
30: Proof that Ogged is a foreigner after all.
I don't. I mean zombia Laura Ingalls Wilder.
18: I have a hard time believing that Baio is the only somewhat famous male star to hit upon that strategy. At a bare minimum, he has an eye for talent (not "looks as talent").
Am now wondering if Baio is the Isiah Thomas of sitcom stars.
32: I thought you didn't know who Laura Ingalls was, liar.
Google, B. I know you hate to use it.
The photo linked in 13 makes Morgan Fairchild look like a Patrick Nagel painting come to life.
I'm more of the Tina Yothers demographic.
Tina Yothers? Tina Yothers? The Bartles & James wine coolers of TV crushes?
Me, I had a precocious fixation on Lynda Carter.
Mary Catherine, that link is cruel.
Cruel to be kind, ogged. Let that link serve as a warning. If you're 45 and still single, do not allow yourself to be filmed while attending cuddle parties. Also, for the love of God, do not attend cuddle parties.
Up until 39 I had a monopoly on saying the same "Tina Yothers" on unfogged. Oh well.
Me, I had a precocious fixation on Lynda Carter.
Me too, but it paled in comparison to my crush on Eartha Kitt as Catwoman. Mrowr!
The name! Goddamit. Comment are hard.
would you have gotten to the point of sleeping with Laura Ingalls?
Couldn't do it. Melissa Gilbert at that age was a dead ringer for my sister.
The more I think about it, the more I think I should have named my first child "Eartha"
My big crush was on Erin Gray of Buck Rogers and Silver Spoons.
And speaking of child TV actors who never quite managed the transition to adulthood, I think it's fair to say that Danny Bonaduce invented the crazy blind date:
On November 4, 1990, Bonaduce met his second wife, Gretchen Hillmer, on a blind date and the two were married the same day.
My big crush was on Erin Gray of Buck Rogers and Silver Spoons.
Catherine Bach as Daisy Duke. And, of course, Tawny Kitaen.
Google, B. I know you hate to use it.
No; what you know is that if I ask, it's because for some reason I don't expect google to provide the answer easily. If google turns up the answer that easily, I usually find out and avoid asking in the first place.
This thread convergence is messing with my head. Can't there just be one thread about 80s tv and movies? And if there are going to be two threads, do they really have to have assonant yet nearly opposite meanings?
Catherine Bach as Daisy Duke.
Didn't do it for me. In retrospect, this was a sure sign that, deep inside me, there was either a homosexual or a yankee struggling to get out. For better or for worse, I moved north.
Jacalyn Smith, Charlie's Angels. Then, later, a Scarecrow-era Kate Jackson
Catherine Bach as Daisy Duke.
But she wore those cut-offs. I think even at that age I wanted someone I could bring home to mom.
I think even at that age I wanted someone I could bring home to mom.
Huh. Of those mentioned, I think Erin Grey actually does best meet that criteria.
There are quirky lacunae in my pop cultural knowledge that trace to the topographical situation of the house I grew up in, tucked into the lee of a mountain that blocked reception of ABC. Thus, I have no knowledge of Charlie's Angels, The Six Million Dollar Man, Three's Company, Mork & Mindy, Monday Night Football with Howard Cossell, or any other show that aired on ABC.
The wikipedia page has Danny Bonaducci's kid's name as Count Dante.
I think even at that age I wanted someone I could bring home to mom.
I suppose the difference here is that I was living in North Carolina.
I have no knowledge of Charlie's Angels, The Six Million Dollar Man, Three's Company, Mork & Mindy, Monday Night Football with Howard Cossell
This sentence disproves itself.
But she wore those cut-offs. I think even at that age I wanted someone I could bring home to mom. was hung up on the virgin/whore dichotomy.
I think I should have named my first child "Eartha"
No. Caroline is in at least two great songs. Can you, knowing me, guess them, Rob? And of course I am not thinking of Neil Diamond. One is famous and the other not.
60: Lou Reed and Concrete Blonde?
Funny, I had a crush on Erin Gray (in Silver Spoons, not Buck Rogers), later on Connie Selleca and a straight line to Lauren Graham and Carla Gugino. It seems I like brunettes.
was hung up on the virgin/whore dichotomy.
It's times like these I question the wisdom of my trying-to-be-clever pseudonym...
You could just go ahead and switch to virginwhore.
Erin Gray ... Connie Selleca ... Lauren Graham ... Carla Gugino
Wow, you have a type, and it's a lot more specific than "brunettes."
61: Oh hey. Really good guesses -- but neither was what I was thinking. Only one of the songs I was thinking of has "Caroline" in the title, but the other song fits right in with the "Clarification" thread.
48:
Dr. Venture: ...and there she is, you can see her right there, just writhing on the hood of the car! What was David Coverdale to do?
Dean: Break up... umm, White... Lion?
Dr. Venture: That's Whitesnake, Dean, and yes, both Brock and I lay the blame squarely on Tawney's hot, silky shoulders. Now let that be a lesson to you.
Dean: About what?
Dr. Venture: Ah, I'm so glad we had this talk.
I disclosed my crush on Carla and her Guginos in the writers' room last fall and was immediately made to like her even more after two of the writers told me they'd worked with her and that she's apparently incredibly sweet. Come on!
Personally, am puzzled by my lack of crush on Cobie Smulders (she seems dull) and am still harboring mini-crush on Caroline Dhavernas (of Wonderfalls).
It was a challenge set for Rob, since he knows what I listen to, but the songs I was thinking of were:
1. (the famous one) "Pretty in Pink," by the Psych Furs
and
2. "Caroline," by my fave of faves Jawbreaker.
I almost always assume the wife of these type of guys knows, but there's are differences between "knowing" it, being confronted with it, and being publicly confronted with it.
Most people know in their gut that something is going on. But, they choose not to find out because their life not knowing is acceptable.
Plausible deniability gives a lot of marriage a couple of extra years or even a lot of years.
It only becomes a problem when they are confronted by it and expected to do something about it.
As to the original post, I'm delighted to see "trollop" come back into use. It's certainly no "strumpet," mind you, but a top-notch word all the same.
I enjoy using "slattern." Preferable to that, "slatternly."
Is trollop back thanks to John McCain's sweet nothings to his wife?
I've been enjoying "jade" lately.
"Trollop" can be used affectionately; not so "Slattern" or "Strumpet."

Hey oudemia, I just sent you an e-mail. Did you know that the College Board is cancelling one of the AP Latin exams in 2009? It's also dropping AP French Literature.
|>
I'll use 75 as excuse to plug a Chicago-native/San Fran-dwelling singer/songwriter who I indirectly know and admire:
(Personally, I like Audrey's Summer Thunder solo album best, but it doesn't incorporate the word strumpet at all.)
cancelling one of the AP Latin exams in 2009
So Old Europe.
Also: Floozy.
82 is offensive to persons possessed by devils.
80: I did see that. They're dumping the "lit" exam (Catullus, Horace, Ovid, Cicero), but keeping the Vergil exam. I'm actually an AP reader for the exams. What's weird is that enrollments in Latin AP courses has been going upupup, but still I am told that AP/ETS only made money on the Latin exams in the first year they were offered.
79: "Strumpet" can totally be used affectionately. "Sperm bank," less so.
86: I've always just said "roundheel".
88: Don't be vulgar, oudemia.
89: She does fish, or any other animal you like, but you have to pay extra.
courtesan, skank, aspiring starlet, summer intern.
What did Juvenal call them?
"Christ-Killer"
(I like to keep 'em off-balance)
What did Juvenal call them?
"Hos," I believe.
I'm sorry, that was Juvenile.
scorta -- that is a neuter plural, mind you. NEUTER.
I'm down with Pepys's most admirable Slut, though of course he meant something different.
103: Relatedly: "lightskirt."
"Soiled dove" is very Victorian.
Okay, it's a good thing B's gone to get a pedicure, because this exercise is completely sexist. For a bit of gender balance:
"Frat boy." Better yet, "fratboy."
I have an irrational love for the term "rentboy".
For a bit of gender balance:
That's just adorable, Mary Catherine.
Have I mentioned here that I met Catherine Bach recently? Took care of any lingering crush right quick. Nice lady, but not the brightest bulb on the tree.
106: rentboy, poolboy, ladyboy: an eternal golden braid.
I have an irrational love for the term my "rentboy".
Oh, M/tch. It needn't be irrational.
105: can't be that sexist; nobody's hit the most offensive one yet.
Nice lady, but not the brightest bulb on the tree.
Bulbs don't grow on trees, dumbass.
I like how "boytoy" is something of a transferred epithet these days.
Madonna of course had her famous beltbuckle indicating she was a boytoy, but now of course her husband is more likely to be called one.
And neither does mental whateverness, of course.
rentboy, poolboy, ladyboy: an eternal golden braid
You forgot nancyboy.
can't be that sexist; nobody's hit the most offensive one yet.
Don't hit Ogged. He had cancer, you know.
114: If I'm not mistaken, UK types prefer the term "toy boy".
119: yes, due to the Coriolis effect.
Maybe it hadn't yet been posted when Ogged put this post up here, but the Superficial now has video of Rosanne Barr talking about her vaginal rejuvenation surgery, and how she now has a "va-junior."
Sorry I missed your guessing game, oudemia--I've been teaching and interviewing job candidates.
I'd forgotten the Jawbreaker song. I'll have to play it for her. Maybe put it on her next "rock out d" (which is what she calls the punk rock discs I've been giving her.)
123: You should totally link to that "Kids dancing while I sing Burma" video again, helpy-chalk.
I think you'd be a great babysitter for apostropher's boy Noah, helpy.
112: Bulbs do too. They grow on Dumbass.
That would have been funnier if typed correctly, and a year ago.
129: Maybe we should start a new trend:
You've been Burma Rolled!
I love that song. I do not love the video you chose.
I love that song. I do not love the video you chose.
My big crush was on Erin Gray of Buck Rogers
My pre-teen love for Wilma Deering knew no bounds. When you find the video of her behaving absurdly please, keep it to yourself.
131, 132: I mean, yeah, I agree, Astley's dancing is pretty wack in that video. Also I don't love the song either, but it's fine that you do, Chopper.
Say what you will about Astley, he had a set of pipes on him. And the singing was pretty good, too.
136: He makes me reach for my revolver.
And not in a good way either.
The song is perfect, but golly that video is not good.
Did someone from here leave the "The song's not about suicide, you emo kids!" comment?
Holy shit, Joanie Cunningham turned out to be a total nightmare once she grew up. Who could tell, she was so cute! If only women could really instantiate the fantasies their beauty leads us to project onto them, instead of being annoying messed-up ordinary people.
Slattern, trollop, floozy, etc.: all great words.
For men, you guys forgot macaroni, fop, ladies' man (how could you not remember that one?), houseboy (maybe someone mentioned this and i mentioned it). I'm sure there are others.
Dammit, nobody's saying the worst one. I don't want to: I'm not like that.
"Moll".
This was very popular in schoolyard taunts when
I was a kid. As in "Getchyer own boyfriend
why dontcha?, ya moll.". Also popular in
graffiti, where it would usually be rendered
as in "Kylie is a mole".
re: 143
Can be used in a similar way in Scots.
'Wife' or 'wifey' can just mean an older woman, but it often has the same negative connotations as the Dutch.
"Don't be such a hackett-faced greetin' auld wife"
etc
I had a thesaurus as a kid that listed as a synonym for "trollop", "Mrs. Warren." (from the Shaw play, not that I knew that at the time). Dr. Oops and I still on occasion call each other "Mrs. Warren".
Wijf (note spelling) is actually not that offensive anymore here; it's often used the same way "my lover" or "my bird" is used in the west country. Annoying yes, offensive, no.
For men, you guys forgot macaroni, fop, ladies' man (how could you not remember that one?), houseboy
And you left out "arm meat".
