put it on vibrate
I finally got around to reading some excellent commentary on R. Kelly's Trapped in the Closet (thanks Jo!) which is so fun to talk about but so painful to sit through more than once. It's so complex! Like the work of other cerebral auteurs (Joyce comes to mind), the TITC series requires careful concentration and deep analysis. Here you go:

The glossary of difficult terms is invaluable.

agreed, dan.
also, i would like to excerpt a few choice definitions:
Mack shit: The lies of an insincere womanizer.
Y’all ass is crazy: Your entire ass is crazy.
Bitch, please: Used to express disbelief at a woman’s words.
Baby, you gonna be breathless: I am going to beat you until you are dead.
jo, baby, you gonna be breathless.
just as soon as i can beat you in an arm wrestle!
I also like the essay questions:
1. Why does Chuck look for Sylvester under the dresser? How big do you imagine the dresser to be?
2. In chapter four, what does Sylvester mean by “a tear fell up out my eye?”
3. When Sylvester’s wife is describing the string of friends that led to the policeman, who is Tina and where does she fit into anything?
ask the fist, raku!
i will punch you in both eyes. and it won't be gentle!
