Carol, I have gone over to the competition, I have been invited to be
a Floozy!!! I have to warn you that I am reading a law book, as I have
learned last week in this very news group, that suing posters is a
good thing. I may sue one, or more or all, depending on what I learn.
The book is called "The Laws Of Duplicate Bridge" and I will sue
for having been passed over as Top Floozy.

I already had a couple of glasses of wine, thank you. Being a Trollop
never materialized, not having been trolloped by you with a cooking
utensil. And yes, my memory is going. Gone, actually. Now what was
I writing about?

Sweet Hey-Zeus!! She's in the bag!

We all have dual citizenship)))

Floozies = a bunch of drunks

Carol, What happened? With my unsullied reputation, for which I have
Barbara to thank, how come nobody thought of me as the the most
deserving Floozie? As I am posting this, with large tears falling on
my keyboard and while I am finishing all the left over wine from last
night's dinner, all I can think is

No Floozie

No Trollop

So, that makes me a FLOP. (

Oh poor, poor Margaret! Of COURSE you're a Trollop. Have been for
years. Sad ... the memory is the first thing to go. ;o)

And of COURSE you're the most deserving Floozie. The way you swill
booze, I'm surprised you can even type. I'm so proud of you!

Now, dry away those tears and have a bottle of wine.

ROFL

Ophelia, Dora, Mr. Libido Incognito, The Ranger and all the others who
tried to console me, thank you. I will become a Floozy, perhaps the
oldest Floozy in Floozidom. At the moment, it is preferable to being
a Saint, not having any of the saintly attributes needed. I will try
twice as hard to be the best Floozy and failing that, I will try to be
the flooziest Floozy. Since for me, that will only require drinking
lots of wine, I can hardly fail. Thank you. )

Might even have a rather profound effect on the present. Ever seen
Fellini's "Satyricon"?


Gertrude Moakley has written:

"The tarocchi trumps are not so much a softening of the Petrarch
story as they are a ribald take-off. Perhaps because, in the merry mood
of the Carnival, everything possible was done to make fun of the solemn
story. Two of the great Cardinal Virtues are, in the tarocchi, taken out
of context and made to accompany Cupid with obviously sexual and
scatalogical reference. [Moakley is referring to Fortitude's staff and
Temperance's cups]...The Pope is given a mate, but those who wish may
take the Pope and Popess for Jupiter and Juno. Chastity is banished in
favor of her enemy, Fortune. Time is reduced to being an attendant of
Death, and Fame is forgotten. Most impudent of all, Eternity is put on a
level with the other triumphs instead of being unnumbered and left "out
of this world" as in the minchiate pack. Undoubtedly it was this
audacity and irreverance that made the tarocchi trumps so popular, in
fact the game of triumphs par excellence."

I agree that the tarot has a certain earthiness and perhaps even
ribaldry to it, drawing from the implications of some of the darker
cards and they way the virtues and other religious symbols are
interspersed amongst them. But I don't see much evidence from the
Visconti-Sforza cards, which Moakley is writing on, that the tarot
subjects were treated with less seriousness than the illustrations of
Petrarch. If one looks at the Temperance and Fortitude cards, for
example, they seem quite proper and sober depictions of their subjects.

Also, the "ribald take-off" model gives one a free reign in accounting
for anything that doesn't match the supposed pattern. I don't know how
one can distinguish a "take-off" (in which "everything possible was
done" to pervert the underlying pattern) from a completely independent
invention that happens to draw from Petrarch in a minor way, or echo it
coincidentally.

Then again, when I was at the zoo last year with my LLL, John, there was a
black panther and a leopard in the same enclosure. And we read the sign
which said they are actually the same cats... you just can't see the spots
on the black panther unless the light is just right. What relevance this
has, I have no idea

It means it is often hard for the observer to distinguish a Trollop from a
Floozie unless the light is right -- so I say you gotta just love 'em all,
in daylight as well as in the dark.
