Bad Girl
When a comment is posted to my blog an e-mail is sent advising me of such.
I'll admit I was just a little excited this morning when I checked my mail and noticed that I'd received a comment from BadGirl. Initially because I misread it and thought that Yvonne Craig might be trying to reach me. (I've always been a Bat Girl fan and, guys, I believe I could bring the new lesbian-version back to our team. Not because I'm such a stud, but, okay, really not at all, I just wanted to work 'lesbian-version of Bat Girl' into this entry somehow and I'm sort of pressed for ideas.)
This excitement was replaced by a whole different level of excitement when I reread the e-mail address: Bad Girl.
A Bad Girl was trying to reach me, and I was pretty sure she meant bad in the sexy kind of way and not bad in the Ma Parker (to make another Bat reference) or Bonnie (of Bonnie and Clyde fame) kind of way.
I envisioned an e-mail from Vicky Vallencourt, aka Fairuza Balk.
As it turns out Bad Girl meant bad in the comment spammer kind of way. The type of comment spammer who suggests she's running an amateur porn site featuring photos of herself ... which makes her very bad indeed.
Asides:
After I Googled Ma Parker (played by Shelly Winters ... I'd forgotten) I Googled for Bonnie and Clyde. I had always known that Ma Parker was a play in Ma Barker but it never occurred to me that it was a play on Ma Barker and Bonnie Parker (Clyde's squeeze) -- sort of a Bat two-for-one.
Fairuza has got to be the Delmer of feminine names. And then again, maybe not ... it is sort of soft at beginning. It strikes me as uncommon, but maybe you grew up with a whole boatload of Fairuzas. You just know that wherever she's from (California? I never would have guessed) that all her little playmates would be making "fah-rooo-za" noises in the "ah-ooo-gah" horn manner. I wonder if she gets left off a lot of Christmas-card lists because people can't remember how to spell her name. (Per the IMDB, Fairuza means "Turquoise" in Farsi.)
