Did she really say that?!? o_O (NSFW)

I seriously seriously doubt that, she never fucked a horse, that story was a rumor spread by her detractors because, in part, of her vigorous sex life.

If I remember correctly, what she really said was, "You can be a murderous tyrant, and the world will remember you fondly... but if you're a woman with power, they will fabricate sexually ludicrous tales.

And people will believe them."

Only Ceiling Cat knows for sure.

Just to be clear, I totally made up that quote. But I believe that if she were alive today, she would certainly say... "off with Doohickie's doohickie!"

Which is why it's good to be the queen. ;)

Well I was going to bring up all of the whispering around here about you and jessamyn, but it's late and I have to go work out.

So I'll let it pass. . . .

Aw! That's not sexually ludicrous. That's just good taste!

oh noes! Now the name "MonkeyButter" begins to conjure a whole new meaning!

(Like, you know, different from the original meaning, which was pure and clean and whole.)

Nay.

Did you guys know that Marie Antoinette never said "Let them eat cake"?

posted by Specklet 05 September | 18:51

I've heard that, Specklet, but I still don't know what she did tell them to eat.

posted by MonkeyButter 05 September | 19:03

Monkey butter. She tole 'em to eat monkey butter.

posted by Specklet 05 September | 19:05

And really it was just a strong recommendation. If we're going to be sticklers here.

Actually, I think the direct quote was "They can totally eat me".

Yeah, well, Coppola took some liberties with the source material.

It's funny you mentioned Coppola, box. Years ago I was at Sudio 54 and ran into him and his grizzled but kindly faced friend (i son't know his name). He said to Coppola, "go for it, buddy!" And then Coppola looked at me and said, "Hay, I got yur man-cake, right here," pointing at his croich and winking at me.

Naw, it's a reworked punchline to this old joke.

Old, but wicked funny, when told well.

And what taz said.

Catherine the Great died from a stroke, and it was some other French noblewoman who said let them eat brioche (with what she was familiar) rather than pain.
