Wanted: Orgy Planners

June 6, 2007
Saw this brief notice about a book talk and new book:

Today on Morning Edition, Vicki Leon expounds on Working IX To V: Orgy Planners, Funeral Clowns and Other Prized Professions of the Ancient World (Walker, $16.95, 9780802715562/0802715567).

Hurry! Time to give up your writing aspirations and stock up on the condoms, sex toys, lubricants, etc.

And I can just see it, the class projects for the business majors going into "Event Planning."

Cheers,
Mark Terry

So, I guess Orgy Clown would be the best of both worlds? :-P

For the clown fetish afficionado, I guess.

Just in time for the "Economics Fair" at the school.

There you go, Ron.

[we discussed that last night at the dinner table, actually. Sean's got 2 more years. We learned entirely more than we wanted to when we did Ian's econ project. The primary lesson is, come up with something easy to make, not something that's really cool. Ian made advent calendars out of felt with string to hold Tootsie Rolls, and they had bells or something on the bottom. Very labor intensive, as it turned out (for Mom & Dad). Never again. Leanne wants to do Christmas ornaments where you buy the bulbs and stuff little paper in them, when it's Sean's turn. My proposal: scarfs. Buy the felt, cut them into strips and call it a day.]
