JOAN CRAWFORD???!!!
Annie, come over here. Into this room, the one down the hallway. I WANT TO TALK TO YOU. Everyone, ignore those noises, they’re just, umm, the air-conditioner . . .
b]Marilyn Vos Savant**? Or is she number one?
If you’re looking for something to drink while your latest is carbonating, may I suggest Alimony Ale from Buffalo Bill’s Brewery? It’s subtitled “The Bitterest Brew in America.” I can’t vouch for the superlative, but it has a definite hop presence.
Good luck with the beer.
My wife is leaving me for another man. I was a good husband, father etc, but thats not the point of this message. I am also a homebrewer and about to bottle a new batch of beer. I want to dedicate this beer to my soon to be ex wife, ((((
You could call it Terrie Fay after my exwife…
BTW If I were you… Take the kids… Take care of the kids…

Wow - to be called bitter and bile by the moderator in the same sentence he says I’m one of his favorite posters is truly an honor ! In fact, “Bitter and Bile” sounds like a great name for my next beer !
But, after jumping between here and Britannica.com to look up all these great evil suggestions, I think I may go with Delilah - the treason part touches me the right way. Also, it’s not too obscure, and most of my middlebrow circle of friends might catch on. Clytaemnestra sounded good but wouldnt fit too well on the labels, also, it sounds a little bit like a bacterial infection, which makes us homebrewers nervous.
So go ahead and banish the thread to some Mundane Pointless Limbo, but you can bet I wont go look for it, as GQ is where true genius dwells. I may hop over and read up on the Teleportation thread, to see if there is a way I can beam some homebrews to all the great people who offered up ideas.
Thanks again !
I am so relieved that my name wasn’t mentioned because I am feeling like the evilest woman on the planet. I am in the process of breaking up with a really nice guy, and I don’t even know why other than that he doesn’t knock my socks off.

Mynde, are you saying that just because I had to open up a big steaming can of Mildred Pierce-brand Whup-Ass on poor misinformed Annie?
Come on into this little room, Mynde, dear. No–don’t turn the light on. Just be careful you don’t slip . . . The floor is kind of, ummm, wet . . .
To bring this down to truly evil women whose crimes are unspeakable.

Sorry - no fun in these two sub-humans.
What was the name of Chairman Mao’s wife? Not nice indeedy
Olive Oyle - the fickle one.
If you read Christina Crawford’s book, Joan was
not mother of the year. And I’ll go anywhere
there is an air conditioner!
The teacher’s name is Mary Kay Latourneau.
see?!?! 
I don’t recall her name, but the “White Witch of Rose Hall” near Montego Bay, Jamaica was supposed to be pretty evil.
OK, The Straight Dope on Joan Crawford.
Every word in “Mommie Dearest” was a lie, including “and” and “the.” What happened was, Christina had submitted a dull, bland “movie star’s daughter” book after Joan’s death. Also sitting on the publisher’s shelf was a novel called “The Hype,” about a monster movie-star mother. The publisher had both authors sign off, and took episodes from “The Hype” and put them into Christina’s book to jazz it up–Tina was pissed-off at being cut out of Joan’s will, so she agreed happily.
The truth? Joan was not the world’s best mother, which she herself admitted. But her two oldest kids were emotionally disturbed and NO ONE could have handled them (Joan had a marvelous relationship with her two younger daughters, both of whom have gone on record saying that “Mommie Dearest” is a lot of nonsense).
There’s a lot about Joan which Christina never mentions, like she stayed on good terms with her three ex-husbands, and even took in Franchot Tone in the 1960s when he was dying of cancer. She also endowed a wing of a hospital in L.A. to pay for medical treatment of indigent show-biz folk. This was never made public during her lifetime.
I don’t blame you, Annie–like most people, you heard the libel but not the correction.
Margaret Thatcher anyone?
That’s not what Kenneth Anger says, Eve. Kenneth Anger says that Joan was a bad, bad woman. Kenneth Anger says that Joan used to beat people with clotheshangers and take amphetamines and party down at Aleister Crowley’s house and was responsible for the Johnstown Flood. And I think Kenneth Anger also said that she died by drowning in the toilet.

Where do you get these? I would like to buy my wife a pair. Or several.
Mary Kay Latourneau is the teacher who “fell in love” with her student and had two babies so far by him. (They professed their love but of course now he is suing the school system for allowing her to seduce him.)
Unfortunately I can’t remember the name of the teacher referenced above (adapted in “To Die For”) but that seems like a good choice.
Marge Schott! You could call the beer “Schottz”.
I’m partial to “Ol’ What’s-Her-Face”…
What kind of beer are you brewing?
