John Henderson was the graduate invited speaker the year before I came to UW. I am told that he showed up to give his talk proudly wearing a t-shirt with the word FUCK on it, and spent much of his visit being visibly put out that no one was moved to comment on it. I'm amazed that that actually happened, since it's exactly what I would have imagined he'd be like.

That sounds entirely in character to me too. He is all pretentiously edgy but it's sort of cute because not many Latinists are like that.

What the hell, I did reply to that with actual words rather than just a jumble of letters to indicate gobsmackedness. All I said was "yeah, I have to see that", but LJ had no right to eat it.

for the homemaker who wanted to play fair and still give her family hearty, meaty dishes, cookbooks and magazines offered such recipes as tripe and onion casserole with potato dumplings, hog jowls with turnip greens, stuff heart with apples, and scrambled eggs with ground tongue. while m.f.k. fisher may have rightly advised us to "savor to the fullest the beasts we have killed" in How to Cook a Wolf, most americans were none too sanguine about eating the funny parts of those beasts. one hearty low point meat dish that could be served to the family without qualms - at least as long as the squeamish ones didn't know what was in it - was the following casserole made with lamb necks. and it was ideal "when your family sets up a howl for ration restricted dishes."
