If you're going to listen to one episode of The Test, this should be the one. Stacey made a musical clip quiz, and to pass, not only do you have to identify songs and artists, but then you have to connect the answers to recognize an all-encompassing theme. The reason this is our best effort so far is because I get the answer and Cunningham doesn't. She requires an extra hint. Also, I steal her youth. And there is a new outro song and montage.
It's probably not that hard a puzzle-- especially if you know some pop-culture-- but I was still very proud of myself (and couldn't hide it). Cunningham was annoyed that she didn't get it (and also had trouble hiding it). To be fair, some of the songs were before her time . . . but I nailed a more recent one and she didn't (that's when I steal her youth).
This one is fast and fun. Play at home, and see if you get it before me. Or lie to me and say you got it, just to burst my bubble. Or lie to me and say you didn't get it, if you want to make me happy. Whatever floats your boat.

Linda Lovelace Sinks Ships
While we are awaiting Clarence's day 5 contribution to our celebration, I thought some of you (I'm looking at TR) might be interested in a news item that was likely lost in the Gheorghemas madness so despised by Dave.
On December 9, the Museum of Sex in New York opened an exhibition entitled, The Eve of Porn: Linda Lovelace. While I doubt there is going to be Marls family outing to this one, the coverage by the fine newshounds at the NY Post did pique my interest.
Lovelace, the star of "Deep Throat", is credited with helping to bring pornography into the mainstream during the early 70's. Celebrities were organizing parties to show the film and major media players like the New York Times and Roger Ebert were reviewing it. During this "Porn Chic" period, a term coined by the New York Times, Lovelace became a household name who helped lay the foundation for the "adult entertainment" industry of today. However, Lovelace's participation in the industry is not easily defined. There are allegations that her early performances were forced under threats of violence. Additionally, by 1980, Lovelace had come to renounce her participation in the industry becoming an outspoken member of the anti-pornography movement.
For those of you unable to make it to Museum of Sex to take in the exhibition, there is also a soon to be released documentary entitled: Linda Lovelace's Loose Lips that includes portions of a final interview prior to her untimely death in 2002.
