| thoughts from a cunning linguist | |
Well, here goes. And it's all Maurice's fault (so you can blame the naughty bits on him). The vital stats:
Q. Why "bush whacker"?
A. Because being a "lesbian" requires a U-Haul, 2.5 dogs, and more flannel than I care to think about. Moreover, to quote one bush I've whacked, "lesbian is such a 'silly word.'"
Q. Why write about bush whacking?
A. There are just not enough public, intelligent bush whackings for my taste. If this isn't your taste, try some other site on Burning Bushes. Moses awaits.
Q. Why "The Burning Bush"?
Short answer: This is Maurice's fault, too. He laughed too much when I suggested the name. I couldn't resist.
Long answer (in multiple sentence fragments): (1) Because it's self-consciously sexual and I'm not Puritan enough to be modest. (2) Because it might burn the asses of a few Puritans. (3) Because we live in a secular world, so why not take advantage of it? (4) Because burning can be the result of being either pleased or pissed off. (5) Fill in your own reason.
Welcome. Stay tuned.
