Betty?
We already have 10,000 names for it and they gotta keep making up new ones?
I don't think betty is a new name for 'it' ;)
I manic-panicked my, ahem, "betty" for burning man one year. it was fun, sort of...
*wonders how much burning was involved*
Any confirmation on the NSFW question?
I didn't think it was NSFW unless anyone's standing close enough to your monitor to read the text closely. "Down there" is always referred to with the words "down there." There's a picture of the box, which has a sort of abstract silhouette of a woman's torso with a colored triangle about where you'd expect it to be but also very abstract. You kind of have to look at it for a minute to see what it is.

Was the burning man in the smiling bag?
The owls are not what they seemen
Funbetty is a hot pink party in a box!
I've always said this.
So, is there a male equivalent to Betty? Neddy, perhaps?
Naughty Neddy™ - Grecian Formula for Down There.
roryk, that movie looks very intriguing. Any thoughts?
By the way... good find, Argh! Thanks!
I was never one for hair coloring. I do, however, like the idea of dreads.
Say, is that your dread or are you happy to see me!?
minda25, I actually enjoyed the music on that. Kind of Steppenwolf meets the Allman Brothers.
Though the video is just gold. And a needed reminder to the music industry that there is no correlation between music talent and outward hotness.
Ah, Betty Blue is a truly saddening film. The soundtrack, at the very last scene... damn.
Betty Blue is an utter depression-fest. I'm not saying its not good, and I did see it at a "vulnerable" period of my life, but hot sex scenes aside, its a downer.
Cool, MCT. That song's been a guilty pleasure of mine for some time. I really like the beat. And the guitars.
Also, the descriptions of Betty Blue remind me of that one movie with the lesbians and the heroin and the death. It made me cry, and I'm kind of sorry I watched it. I might have to skip this one...
Whatever happened to mirkins?
They voted for Bush. HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH.
mirkins
I would suggest, do not clicky first linky in google search results. Reading it is enough.
Merkins
That one's safe.
OH SWEET LORD!
Minda, you ratbag, I clicked. And then I clicked again.

Most of you are waaaaaay to young. Do not be clickin' da link!
I used to be ash blonde, then started getting grey around the temples. Now I dye my hair brownette. It's a ploy. If older women dye their hair blonde, everyone knows it's fake, but nobody expects brown. Even my kids didn't realize I'd been doing it for the past 18 months. It's a whole reversal of the "drapes don't match the carpet" thing.
hee hee, TMI, I'm sure
fish, do you even HAVE a shrubbery?
Whoops! Wrong thread.
*fluffs up scales coyly*
she said shrubbery!!
har!
So, is there a male equivalent to Betty? Neddy, perhaps?Please,no....
Couldn't resist, eh GramMa? I still can't click past that first weird page... it's just too weird.
Ratbag. Harrumph!
hehe
I love too much information. It's why God gave us the Internet.
Things you wouldn't even tell your bestest friend....

I never knew there was a video. I'm wondering about the position in the band filled by the guy on the left in the white pants. Interpretive dancer?
minda25, the reason I posted that song is because moko jono already posted that very Ram Jam link. It was the first post!
> roryk, that movie looks very intriguing. Any thoughts?
It's wonderful. Maybe a little depressing, but very much worth watching.
Black Betty is a great example of a one-hit wonder in Europe; I don't think anything else by Ram Jam has received much airtime here. Interesting that MCT mentions Steppenwolf, another band that has been somewhat overshadowed by one very famous track.
It never occurred to me that the Black Betty lyrics could be considered dodgy, but wikipedia tells me that the song caused quite a stir with the NAACP and Congress of Racial Equality calling for a boycott due to the lyrics.
This despite the song's origins and early popularization by Leadbelly.

Doesn't he have a tambourine? Perhaps an early incarnation of Bez.
I just like saying "Bam-A-Lam."
Isn't the when Emeril makes gyros?
50 demerits for making a bad pun and mentioning Emeril. Make that 100 demerits. Now get out of my sight.
Whoa-oh Mad Koko
Bam-A-Lam
Whoa-oh Mad Koko
Bam-A-Lam
She don't want no Emeril
Bam-A-Lam
Gonna hate on Underpants
Bam-A-Lam
Give her some demerits
Bam-A-Lam
*bangs head while doing funny hand signal.*
Heh. I always thought he was saying "ramblin'". Bam-a-lam is MUCH funnier.
moko jono, I apologize for stepping on your toes! I should have clickied your linky before posting mine. :o/
Am I out of trouble now, InsolentChimp?
*sniff*
*coffee nose snort*
Whoa-oh sad Lara
Bam-a-lam
Whoa-oh sad Lara
Bam-a-lam
That's all I got. I also like saying bam-a-lam.
No, minda, for as long as I shall live I will hold everyone accountable for high treason! Or my mistakes. Or letting the ice sit out and get cold. Or something.
FINE. I don't care what you think ANYWAY.
Please don't be mad!
THANKS FOR GETTING THAT DANG SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD!
Rat-tail overalls bass player dancing in front of the 24" double-kick-drums and the aviator-coke-bottle-glasses shaggy triple-laquered-Les-Paul guitar player 70's overload Warning . . . Warning . . . bong meltdown imminent . . .
Wooaahh Black Betty, Bam-a-Lam . . .
You may have ME to thank for posting a link to the song in the first place, but I have only ARGH to thank for making me do it. There was no way in hell that I could spy a box called 'Black Betty' WITHOUT immediately getting that song stuck in my noggin. Once stuck, I dared not suffer enjoy it all alone.
Methinks it's gonna be a 'Goddamn-get-this-Bam-a-Lam-Ram-Jam-brain-Spam-outta-my-head-Man' kind of weekend for a number of us.
Thanks a lot, Argh.
But at least it's not the guitar riff from this.
Definitely going to try this. Especially before the next check up. May have to make a special color request. Cobalt blue or aqua. :)
