Hi Erica! >From this digest: http://www.smoe.org/lists/joni/v2001.n043, the post that may have started the "notches" discussion:
Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2001 17:22:13 -0500 From: "Patricia O'Connor" Subject: Re: meaning of fay/LJC Hey Joni! You've been lurking long enough, your input is required on this very important question. Which is it?: fay or fey And while we're at it, is it: "Your notches liberation doll" or "You're notches liberation doll" And what's the deal with; "Do your smiles covert complicity Debase as it admires"? Patricia O'Connor --- Then, from http://www.smoe.org/lists/joni/v2001.n048, this: Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2001 16:12:25 From: "c Karma" Subject: re: Covert Complicity, notches <snip> As for "you're notches liberation doll", I really don't have a clue. "Don't Interrupt The Sorrow" always seemed more of a stream of consciousness poem, so I just roll with it. But stretch with me, won't you...the image it conjures up for me is one of those inflatable party dolls, the "notches" are belt notches (But who's counting? Rolling Stone?), and the word "liberation" could be construed as sneering derision based on gender (it WAS the '70s). Applying this, I'd guess it isn't a very flattering thing to call someone. No wonder Anima's rising! CC --- My suggestions: 1) either go to http://www.mail-archive.com/joni%40smoe.org/ and do a search for "notches", or 2) go to http://www.smoe.org/lists/joni, scroll to v2001.n048, date/time 29-Jan-2001 18:33, open it, and search for "notches". Continue with every digest after that until you're happy or tired of it. ; ) (That's what I do when I compile a thread -- wanna volunteer to compile "Notches"?) Have fun! Lori ~
