Tattoos or none? Offhand I'd say they'd catch on because of the TV show, but there have been multiple escapes using chili and hot sauce, so maybe not.
Or are you just talking about a little vacation?
BTW, Ann Althouse misspells "chili." So much for perfection...

No, no. I need one for the book. Unless you think I should skip it--because of the TV show.

And I thought you made some semi-obscure reference to the plight of women and the patriarchy.

I'd skip it. Prison breaks take up way too much precious time and space to set up correctly and we've seen way too many of them over the years. Frankly, the TV show wasn't all that interesting(or original), either--there was little to watch at the same time--and it all depended on a prison that was built in the 1800's and getting a staff member(the doctor) to cooperate. Real prison breaks are usually mundane things--the result of screw-ups: A dangerous prisoner switching places with someone scheduled for release, or someone walking out of a courtroom or hospital washroom in civilian clothes planted by an accomplice on the outside.
If it's really necessary, tell us more so we can come up with something original.

"Um. About That Sex Scene."
"Yeah?"
"You said he was 'wet.' Didn't you mean 'hard'?"
"No, wet. Precum."
"But precum isn't sexy," another girl interjects.
"Is too! I love precum."
As usual, we all look to the gay guy. "Well, that's a lot of precum, to get her jeans wet that way." Like Solomon in his wisdom.

This is like hearing, in detail, about sausage being made.

I don't know what this is about but I like it.
Is this about a scene in your upcoming (no pun intended) novel?

Get with the program. Check the archives. You are witnessing history in the making. The next, great, American mystery... Destined to set tongues wagging. Destined to set new standards for book sales. Destined to make people forget about the "zipless fuck" and Erica Jong. Destined to make people think our seductress has incontinence issues...

Hey! It wasn't me. It was my protagonist. Anyway, she was turned on, so that explains that. That and the precum.

How about more samples? Please?

The seductress in the Great American Mystery, of course! Now simply known as "the protagonist." You are a totally separate entity and matter. And I would never question your continence, or countenance, for that matter.

Note, that doesn't preclude me from picturing a 30 to 50 foot "anaconda" on the ground you just trod, following one of your "wild girl" nights at a beach front bar in days gone by... And I wouldn't even think of calling a herpetologist...or Ripley's...or the Vatican. But that's a different subject-a need you didn't know you had. And most American guys expect their goddesses to have their flip-flops planted firmly on the ground, anyway.

Wow. That was a rich comment. You're like, the Gertrude Stein of blog commenters. You'll recall, of course, that I'm snake-friendly, but lizard-averse.
And I did explain that the line about "pissed a tequila-anaconda the full length of the parking lot" was Joni Mitchell, nicht?
And I reserve the right to throw all my footwear at Sean, if the mood strikes me.

A snake is a snake is a snake. Except when it's painful cattle:Never a lizard.
And I never confuse you with Joni Mitchell.

Aha! But didn't the snake in the Garden of Eden have legs? That would make it easy to mistake for a lizard, no?

I see you took away all the important points from The Greatest Story Ever Told! I've seen many a girl mistake snakes for lizards and wind up on Jerry Springer or Maury Povich.
Genesis 3:14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.
3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Great tie-in with the cattle and flip-flops! You, Madam, are a genius!
BTW, 'primitive" snakes, such as boas and pythons, still show vestigial pelvic bones and anal spurs that represent the remnants of hind legs. Score another one for the Bible...
We shall not talk about Joseph Smith and the White Salamander.

Laurie Anderson also recorded a song--a very sexy one, called "Langue d'Amour"--that mentions a snake with legs. It appears to re-tell the story of the Garden in such a fashion that the girl ends up falling for the snake:
"She was a hothead; she was a woman in love."

A "hotheaded" woman, eh? Is there any other kind?
Few people know this, but America's first draft of its most famous song included the lyrics "I've been through the desert on the snake with no legs.."
Thanks for the song reference! I'll try and find a place to listen to it. "Because when he talked, he make little noises with his tongue, and his long tongue was lightly licking about his lips. Like there was a fire inside his mouth and the flame would come dancing out of his mouth. And this woman liked this very much. " No sexual imagery there!
Addenda: I found a sampler at Barnes and Noble...A spoken word album? It's been a long time! Kind of grows on you though... When I see lyrics, I try and imagine melodies. I couldn't with this one. And I guess, neither could she.

Give it a listen, though: that track has music. Actually, the album Mister Heartbreak has a lot of music on it--Adrien Belew appears on it, and as I recall so does Peter Gabriel.

I did sample about a dozen cuts and I did hear the music. It is one of the most unusual and interesting albums I've ever come across in a long time. Thanks for pointing it out for me! I'd like to hear it as a studio album, though, instead of "live." Some of the recitations seem forced done live, because she (they) assume characters. And they don't always "hit' the character in the first beat. Or 53rd. I'll wait to find it a little cheaper, though. B&N had it for $45 or so.

Note to Self:
For the high-intensity writing workshop, it won't do to throw the characters into the scene and figure you'll do a re-write on it later. No: actionless characters who are just standing around get noticed in this crowd. Not in the good way. Enough with the cut-and-paste: only take stuff there after it's been polished to some degree.
(Aw, come on, guys: I can take it. I really can. It won't slow me down. Not to worry, though when you finally read it I hope you'll be a bit gentler than this group was.)

Miss Attila, there is going to be a press conference on Saturday near Crawford Texas in front of a billboard promoting Condi Rice for President. National Chair Jessie Jane Duff is flying in from DC for the event, along with supporters in Texas and other states.
The President and Secretary Rice will be flying into Texas today, so I wonder what look they will have on their faces as they drive by the billboard. Kind of a "welcome back" message?
You can follow the story at the website, www.4condi.com as well as catching up on the blog news. This is the beauty of technology, you don't have to fly to Texas to cover this event!

Hey, the Condi billboard is up and it looks great. Now I wonder what President Bush and Condi will say as they drive by? What will all those reporters do as they drive by on Highway 84? Hmmm, like maybe report about it?
Autumn is a low news month, so I dare the media to ignore this billboard which is right out in their face. Good job and my hat is off to Americans for Dr. Rice for putting up the sign to greet our president. The current one and the future one.

Ja, Frauline Rice's billboard will remind the masses who to vote for in 2008. Get the big lie going early.
Since Miss Rice has been channeling me, Adolph Hitler to get more advice on how i would have handled the ongoing butchery in Lebanon, it is only REICH that her brownshirts put up a billboard to honor her blood lust.
Ahh, for the good old days, when my Wehrmacht marched all over Europe.
The blood that is being shed in Lebanon is not nearly on par with what was spilled in France or Holland, but it is a good start.
Your girl Condi will make a fine dictator in my mold.
She certainly knows how to tell the big lie: "We don't want a cease-fire until we have a cease-fire that lasts."
Ha-Ha, got a good laugh out of that one. More time for the War Gods to wreak havoc on innocent Lebanese civilians.
Ja, Rice in 2008. You and her make your Fuhrer so happy!!!!
With Love
Adolph
