Blog kindly stopped for me--

Lo siento.  Fall break sucked me right in, people, and don't you know even this post will be more of a frivolous folly than anything of substance, because my graduate workshop starts here in just a little bit, and then the amazing Jewelle Gomez will be reading later tonight here at UNL. 

So in the meantime, I thought I'd give you a quick quiz of my three all-time super-favorite appellations, which I hope you will please start applying to me immediately.

In which films or television programs do the following (potentially mildly misquoted) lines have their sources? 

#1:  "the meanest wife ever"

#2:  "the smartest witch of her generation"

#3:  "the smuggest bitch in the world"

Please, please, please feel free to call me any of them at any time.  I adore them.  (The HH occasionally obliges, more or less spontaneously, with #1.)  Try it.

At work, and especially while teaching, it's true I aspire to adjectives like diplomatic, kind, insightful, etc., but really:  yawn.  These 3 wicked ones are "more like the real me, the one nobody sees."  (And the print source on that would be?)

Anyone who gets all 4 right (okay, we all know #2's a giveaway) will win my undying respect.  And if you live in Lincoln, I'll make you flan.
