Gerard Damiano, director of the pioneering pornographic film that lent its name to the Watergate whistle-blower known as "Deep Throat," has died. He was 80.


Details.

[He changed the face of obscenity and provided an alias for an informant that changed national politics. Quite a resume.]

Amazing. Not a single joke. Chickens.

It's not lack of fortitude, JB. It's just that you're in "Debbie Does Dallas" country in these parts.

Dissect that last sentence and insert your own Beavis and Butthead sound effects.

Deep Throat is a movie? I didn't know that.

You'd know it if you saw it.

THAT is why you are the man.

If I were to try posting a joke that will pass the censors, it would probably involve the phrase "change the face of obscenity."

Funny, I would've focused on whistle blower.

[crickets chirp]

Chirping crickets ... reminds me of the last talk I gave for TDCAA.

Now that I think about it, the Watergate "Deep Throat"'s last name was "Felt." Coincidence? You be the judge.

The silence could reflect the age of most of our members, JB. Most of them were not born yet when Linda was popular.

So, you knew her by her first name? For me, she was always Ms. Lovelace.
