1. roses are red

violets are black

sugar is sweet

[Blue-Jay]

2. sick!

[Thtwudbeme]

3. Sylvia Plath got on my last nerve

Never seemed to appreciate the fact that her mom worked two jobs to put her ass in private school---

Her poetry was full of her snit fits---

I never "got" her popularity.

[swag]

4. Well, "The Bell Jar" was quite a good read,

particularly the narrator's reaction upon first seeing the genitalia of Buddy Willard:

"Turkey neck, turkey gizzard."

[Jade Fox]

5. Greatest female adolescent angst novel...

ever written.

IMO :)

[swag]

6. Obviously you missed both

Mom's Sweet Panties and Lesbian High School Sorority, despite your high-falutin' tastes.

[Blue-Jay]

7. I saw that movie on Cinemax.

[swag]

8. "Mom's Sweet Panties"?

If you're like me, its images were etched with punishing clarity upon your neural pathways.

12. "Mom's Sweet Panties" -- was that Dickens?

Or Trollope?

[swag]

13. Fodder for endless academic speculation.

Who is this "Heather Brown."

Are there some clues in that final immortal paragraph?

But of course, there was no time for that. There was still so much sucking to be done before the afternoon was over. So much lost time to be made up for.

[Jade Fox]

9. Um, yes I did somehow miss those.

I am remiss. :cry:

[swag]

10. You ain't dead yet.

[johnfunk]

11. Well, at least we know Sylvia knows how Laura Bush must've felt...

... except that in Laura's case, the "turkey neck, turkey gizzard" was connected to a prick.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

14. Weird how that specific thing stuck with me, too, LOL.

15. The suicide makes it all glamorous, dontcha know.
