Don’t Just Lurk

When I read this article by Virginia Hefferman I thought of all you Overheardians that lurk but never participate. There are so many of you out there. We’re waaaaaiting.

    Ok I’ll bite…Please share the letter or email you got from the “foul, bordering-on-restraing-order-type-out-of-line-reader” Can you redact (redact is my new word) the offending language? Inquiring minds want to know. C’mon Merritt, we need the dirt!

    If I redacted the offending language it would simply read, “and the.” But I’ll give you hint…the word that starts with “p” and is in the Kurt Anderson quote but I was decent enough to ****. Well, that word appeared a lot.

    Makes me wonder which one of your columns put the “p****” person over the edge. Maybe you struck a nerve with your grundgebund column and brought out a real “p****”.

  • Merritt Patterson

    I think you’ve got the wrong word.

  • James Tucker

    I guess I need more than one letter to solve this anagram.

  • Merritt Patterson

    OK, it’s on the last line of the Kurt Anderson article I linked earlier but it can be used in a tacky way to refer to a female body part. And, of course, still starts with “p.”

    yeah it’s gotten pretty boring around here since the beverly dr and head lice controversies died down. so everyone just lurks………

  • Merritt Patterson

    what about Harry Potter and the Baptists?

  • jethro bodine
