I recently and somewhat randomly came across the poster below for the 1966
film Maya.
There’s a Maya in my family, and I know some other Mayas too. But that was only
the first name that jumped at me.
It was interesting to see Jay North — who played the title character in the TV incarnation of Dennis the Menace in the early ’60s and, I found out to my surprise
not long ago, voiced the teenage Bamm-Bamm Rubble in the early ’70s — in the
credits. That’s not the main point here either, however.
The punch line of this chance experience was the name “Clint” — seen on the poster identifying star Clint Walker. If you glanced at it earlier, or just now at my prompting, and had a brief shock at mistaking the name for another word, then you see why cartoonists, typesetters, and pretty much anyone else who finds themselves displaying “Clint” in all capitals usually takes care to put enough space between the “L” and
the “I” lest they appear to merge into a “U”.

Aaaaahahahahahaha! Poor Clint. That font is not very flattering for him. Fun, though. I wish there was more movies starring swear words. Maya starring C*nt Walker, co-starring Shit Bridges and Dickface McYeahthat'smynameyougottaproblemwiththatyoufucker.
ReplyDeleteAction that tears the screen apart? Noooooo! I wanted to watch the rest of the movie!
ReplyDeleteSay what you will about Clint, but he makes one great flick.
ReplyDeleteGreat... Bully stops by just when Batcabbage goes all pottymouthed.
ReplyDeleteHey, Clint started it!
ReplyDelete@Arben: LOL! Marvelous.
ReplyDelete"Clint Walker" was actually an incredibly fierce female drag king who was a trailblazer for womyn's rights.
ReplyDeleteWhere is LK when you need her?
I'm around when you need me — just not necessarily when you want me. ^_~
ReplyDelete"C*nt Walker" — I'm keeping with the asterisk for Blammer's sake — is something we'd probably hear from Merle and the Governor all the time if AMC's language standards were more relaxed (and if the folks in Woodbury didn't call the walkers "biters" instead).

ReplyDeleteAha. Salty language = comments. Got it.
The Governor's so gross - he makes my Clint... want to be... a Walker?
ReplyDeleteIt all sounded very drôle in my head.
There must be a better way to incorporate zombies and lady parts.
I defer to LK on these matters, as ever.

ReplyDeleteThat there is, Joan! It involves a surgical kit, a pair of hedge trimmers, and some ordinary household bleach. But the process itself is so bizarre, so utterly icky, that it is best not gone into here. So to speak.

ReplyDeleteAnd here I was sure that if Joan had a business it would be called Zombies and Lady Parts, Incorporated.
@Arben: Say what you will about Clint, but he makes one great flick.
ReplyDeleteNice one!

I've heard that the same can be said for Joa—
Holy bearded clams! Obviously, I can clear out a room like nobody's (lady)business.

ReplyDeleteHa! I see LK and I frequent the same bars... I'd wondered who was the spiteful lesbian* was who was scrawling unkind things about me on the bathroom walls. You should have seen what she said about veganism and cunnilingus...
*You can always spot her work because she prefers a blood red Sharpie marker, not only for her (oddly descriptive) comments about me but for her low quality (and absolutely filthy) stick drawings of large breasted women.
@Joan: Ha! I see LK and I frequent the same bars...
ReplyDelete"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille..."
As far as the large-breasted women go, well, I try to judge everyone on her own merits, but in general my tastes run towards the old saw "Anything more than a mouthful is a waste."
@Joan: You should have seen what she said about veganism and cunnilingus...
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I know that one. Vegans have a hard time eating out? ^_^
I'm just really happy to be here. :)
