But Where's Amanda Hugginkiss?

Wow -- a reporter from the Charleston Post and Courier fell for the old "Heywood Jablome" gag. Next week: a quote from the noted expert "Seymour Butts."

(For a fun rundown of some of Mr. Jablome's other appearances in the media, go to this classic column by Christopher Caldwell. Scroll down to the section headlined "I.P. Daily.")

Isn't "Seymore Butts" the nom-de-cinema of the featured "real-life" personality Adam Glasser on Showtime's "Family Business"? That is to say, while we could assume that a quote from "Heywood Jablome" was bogus, might a quote from "Seymore Butts" in fact be legitimate?

[Lonewacko]

Seymour Butts is the nom de porn of a porno producer who is or was being prosecuted by the City of L.A. for crossing over the line and shooting things that normal people, or at least fugly ADAs, don't do.

I've got a screenshot of the Heywood article here in case they notice all the traffic and change their page.

I don't think that was his name. I think he was actually saying to martha, "Hey, would ya blow me?"

Some of you wanted to write that, but just couldn't bring yourself to do that, could ya?

[david f]

good call, steve.

i kinda wish i thought of that...

how'd the brewers do today? (heh heh heh)

cheers,

I don't see what's so funny about making fun of people's names. Grow up!

[david f]

If you want to call or visit Heywood, here are the phone numbers and addresses of two of them:

DRF:

Let's not talk about the Brewers, ok. It's ugly and we know that.

By the way...."Has anyone seen Mike Hunt?"

[david f]

oh yeah -- michael is in a police lineup -- something about a mole and a "tallywacker"... (that's much less personal)...

Wow! I'm 45 and I just "got" the Heywood Jablome reference. I use "Woody Turgid" as my fake name, and it never raises an eyebrow.

[Wette Holzer-Reddy]

I think Jesse should update his own blog column more frequently, and title it "I.P. Hourly."

[Hugh Jass]

I don't get it.

[Adolph Oliverr Busch]

It is impolite to make fun of people's names. One doesn't choose one's name, so don't poke fun.

[Dan Gleables]

i agree entirely Mr Busch.

Hey, has anyone seen that one asian girl. Mai? Mai Croch? Or how about good old Harry, Harry Ballzonya? Maybe Peter, Peter Gozinya? Craven, Craven Morcock?

[Dee Snuts]

I don't get it either.
