Blanche Poubelle?

[RonButters at AOL.COM]

At the January meeting of ADS I gave a paper on the slang use of SUCKS. This
found its way into a press report in a gay publication called THE GUIDE. The
reporter calls herself "Blanche Poubelle" and claims to have attended my
paper reading. Does anyone want to confess to being Blanche? (Yes, I know
what POUBELLE means in French--Homer Simpson used the term recently in the TV
cartoon series.)

I will be happy to send a PICT version of the article to anyone who wants to
read it. It is very intelligently done.
