What I want to know is how, exactly, a sentence can be both "ghastly" and "boring".
I think "Slither slither slither slither went the tongue" works with both adjectives nicely.

ETA: Wolfe beat out the guy who describes a man-eating vagina like this: "(It was) like a large exotic mushroom in the fork of a tree, a little pleasure dome if ever I've seen one, where Alph the sacred river ran down to a tideless sea. No, not tideless. Her tides were convulsive, an ebb and flow that could take you very far, far back, before hurling you out, wildly and triumphantly, on a ribbed and windswept beach without end."

Last summer I had the misfortune of sitting through a Sting show with my wife (hi str8!) and wished I had seen Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland play that night. Only did 3 Police songs and massacred one of those...

He asked a question -- in response to a gwnc post about STDs, specifically, that she, like SD, had never had any -- about hat tricks. I said that a better question for her might be about bjs, and wanting to give more than someone could take. And suddenly he was talking about his wife, and I didn't notice, and god what a fucking travesty.

"His mouth looked for the oiled berry" (not from Wolfe) might work for some socks.

I will remember "Otolaryngological cavern" for some time.

But hopefully not while exploring one.

You know, I don't read Tom Wolfe for the sex parts (unlike, say, the way I read certain books by Anne Rice), but I don't remember anything that bad in "A Man in Full" or "Bonfire of the Vanities." Maybe I just blotted it out.

OH MY GOD, I AM GOING TO HUNT YOU DOWN AND KILL YOU.

Who gives a shit if you like them?

And, SS, I don't think that oiled berry thing is so bad if one's berry has indeed been oiled in an earlier portion of the story.

These sentences are positively Wolfian.

The idea of that Monty Burns-like insect writing about sex disturbs me. He needs to bag that suit. That high collar makes him look like one of those African chicks who wear neck lengthening rings. You could behead him with a paring knife.
