Susan George can be found in the worst film I have ever seen (well nearly) the risible Peckinpah/Dustin Hoffman bloodfest set in the English countryside whose name I have mercifully forgotten, though Peter Vaughan as a mad yokel sucking his teeth and snarling is worth paying money to see. Susan George gets raped but then that was always happening to the poor girl.

Aha! I have remembered. Straw Dogs!

REALITY! Thou Goddess of the bor'd,
In whose name many an unearn'd fame hath soar'd,
The fat mechanic and his sluttish spouse,
Who plan a "billiard parlour" for their house;
The dentist who, with spittle in each line,
Doth mangle Sondheim, Hart, and Hammerstein;
The gaunt bulemic whose "designer" clothes
Nothing conceal and not much more disclose;
The haggard housewife, mark'd with bruise and mole,
Ascending weekly to a featur'd role;
The studded youth whose piercings daily grow,
Who wants a "reassignment" down below,
So that his girl, lolling in ebon slip,
Might have a single-sex relationship--
In thy name, Goddess, hath such spawn been born
And for whose sake my set have I forsworn.

Sam, it's terrific, a hoot.

(Donna, you know that's the technical term, right?

Sex reassignment surgery)

No, Mary Ann I didn't know, I guess the ass I laughed off will have to be reassigned to dumb ass.

Good one, Sam. I think you mean "bulimic" in L7. Are you imitating Pope, Johnson, or Dryden?
