Man I'm tired of Jane Austen

Maybe my bitterness toward retail in a rich white neighborhood has tainted this thread. Which is too bad and I apologize for it. I was kinda hoping the OP would spawn more suggestions of Troma versions of Austen movies . . . Like Cunts and Cannibalism . . . or Flense and Flensibility . . .

I think you missed the most obvious: Sex and Sucksability

Oh, it is a sad day for the gentle art of letter writing when epistolary pornography is so denigrated. Some blame Horatio Nelson’s conduct of the Neapolitan campaign on his various previously sustained headwounds, but a close (and hot) reading of history will show that it was Lady Hamilton’s delicately penned erotic (and most likely fictional) vignettes involving surprising use of the Admiral’s amputation stump that so distracted him as to permit his defeat in the Battle of the Nile. The mail was delayed for several weeks before the Battle of Trafalgar.

That was totally brilliant! It’s nearly as good as the time Emma Thompson accepted her Golden Globe for the screenplay of Sense and Sensibility and her speech was in the “character” of Jane Austin. Unfortunately I can’t find a video of it, but it’s classic.

Good one Tabula Rasa! Thanks for the smile this morning!
