Sleaze Ball Role Models

Post by **Lightning Rod** » October 5th, 2007, 11:25 am

Maybe the world is passing me by. Maybe I'm an old fogey. But I try to keep up with what's going on in the world. That's why I was watching Britney Spears' latest video.

How do you like this for a role model for your fifteen year old daughter?

Young girls at one time saw this as a role model

I'm not referring to the fact that Britney looks like a sleazy stripper in this video.

I was just reflecting on the difference of the messages in these two songs. "Treat the earth right' vs. 'Gimmie more, more, more,'

Lightning Rod is shaking his old decrepit head.

is Britney really liked by fifteen year old girls?
and that Cahuette remake...!!

it´s true that kids (a lot before fifteen) dance in a way impossible for people from my generation seeing only ABBA, Olivia Newton John, Fama and Flashdance. I remember that when it was Maddona´s golden age, my brother liked her a lot but I prefered other singers.

I I think she was very popular with teen age girls a few years ago. I can tell you that Britney was a very popular name for girls a few years ago.

She has the ultimate stage mother I have heard. Poor girl, she reminds me of The Judy Garland Story except for her voice.

I don't know how it is in Argentina but girls go on the meat market here at a very young age. I know people who would not let there children watch TV while they were growing up.

Weird upbringing for me
before TV
Mine might the last generation not baby sat by the boob tube
Who were Britney's role models I wonder?
How much TV did she watch as a young child?

Trying to figure out what you mean by Cahuette remake
In cahoots?

Words of obscure origin. 1) Cahoots. It was first used in the singular; no citations prior to 1829 (in cahoot with) are given in the OED. The word is attributed to Southern and Western United States and has apparently always had a slangy character. Since the original meaning may have been “company, partnership,” both traditional derivations—from French cahute “cabin” and cohorte “cohort”—make sense, but the connection is hard to establish. Then there was French cahot “difficulty, obstacle,” the alleged etymon (source) of American Engl. cahoo “pitch hole” (attested in 1874: “the highways… full of pitchholes [sic] or ‘cahoos’.” Consequently, be in cahoots with someone may have meant “in the difficulties of business, in the same boat with someone.” Cotgrave, a 17th-century lexicographer, lists French cahute and cahuette, the second of them meaning the same as luette “little bundles of peeces of Ivorie cast loose vpon a table; the play is to take vp one without shaking the rest, or else the taker loseth” (the spelling as in the original). The sentence he knocked the thing out of cahoots, that is, into disorder (cited in 1903 in Notes and Queries by an instructor at the State University), fits Cotgrave’s definition to a T but does not elucidate the origin of the French noun. We may be dealing with a word from the late medieval French argot, and such words are difficult to etymologize. To make matters worse, cahoot need not at all be a borrowing from French! In the eighties of the 19th century, a man notorious for his bustling self-importance was called a cohooter, possibly a “hooter,” with the reinforcing prefix co- (also spelled as ka-, as in caboodle, and ker-). Yet a direct connection between cohooter and cahoot is not likely. In Cornwall, hoot “company, business” has been recorded, and Francis A. Wood, whom I have once mentioned in a laudatory context, explained cahoots as ca- plus that hoot, but the British regional word is known too little, while in American English (and cahoots seems to be an “Americanism”) no dictionary lists hoot in this meaning. Of the conjectures mentioned above, the one tracing cahoot to an underworld term seems to be the most reasonable, even though it does not lead to the solution of the riddle

Wasn't she a Mouseteer on the Mickey Mouse Club?
She probably didn't have a childhood.

I don't know how it is in Argentina...from ten years ago to now a mix of Gilda, Thalia, Shakira, the brit group of 4 or 5 I don´t remember the name, Jennifer Lopez, Black Eyed Peas, Beyonce, Rhenna ?, cumbia-early-weekends-afternoons TV programs... more or less. The last TV hit for girls from 6 to 11 is called "Patito feo" (ugly duck?), where is an school sub-group called "las divinas". They sang something like "ugly ones stay away from us...". Of course almost all the kids wanted to dance being "las divinas". It´s a plain awful song but it´s very popular and they dance a bit Britney-like.

I was listening in the last days Suzanne Vega´s last cd "Beauty & crime". She was one of the female-singers I liked from the eighties with Cindy Lauper, Sheena Easton, Celeste Carballo and Fabiana Cantilo

Role models are like novels...

outmoded, outdated expresssions of any conceivable relevance...

Post by **stilltrucking** » October 12th, 2007, 7:46 am

Yeah I keep hearing that the novel is outmoded, poetry is dead, art irrelevant.
And I am not feeling too good myself.

A truthfull answer hester if you were asking me.

My uncle abe. The truck driver, WW2 vet. I carried his dogtags around for years.

"Mama's dont let your babies to grow up to be cowboys and drive them Big old trucks" (paraphrase of Old Waylon song)

Yep I always wanted to be a schmuck, drive a truck.
That long peterbilt hood stretching out in front of me like

If you could cut me some slack on that because:

"I am not high on false drugs, I am high on the real thing, a shoe shine, a clean windsheild, and #2 diesel"
paraphrase of firesign theatre
