  1. Of this group only Mudede and Schmader have been alive (and not forcibly disappeared from the Stranger Logan’s-Run-style) long enough to know who she is.

    Much less spell her name properly.

    So, one of them.

  2. someone who follows @ebertchicago. I know of one person in the above list who makes occasional SLOG posts from some of Roger Ebert’s tweets, but that doesn’t mean @kellyoxford’s (@ebertchicago’s tweet was a mention of @kellyoxford’s birthday, plus her quip) joke doesn’t get passed around the office.

  3. Wow, I had forgotten about her! I loved how not only did she cut it off, but if memory serves, she drove off and threw it out of the car window? Gus, if your theory holds, I’ll go with Schmader, as I’d think if Mudede had a safe word, it’d be Mao, or Bolshie…

  4. I was going to vote for Mudede, but changed my mind and decided it was Unpaid Intern.

    Lorena Bobbit, out of snacks, gave her hubby forty wacks.

    Now he sits, instead of stands, makes his own lunch, dirty man.

  5. @8, Grant posted earlier about being a random speller, so I made a happy reference to today’s misspelling. He’s fixed it, which made me smugly happy. And your comment made me doubly smugly happy. I thank you.

  6. @5 – she’d have saved everyone a lot of trouble, and the world from a very bad porn film, had she put the goddam thing down the garbage disposal instead of flinging it out the window into the grass.

    I can still picture the cops looking for it, though. “You pick it up!” “No, YOU!”
