Shu and I were talking about how many men's names are used for the word penis. I thought there was a thread here about it, but I couldn't find it.

I looked it up online and found this discussion about it. Some of the names used for penis are Peter, Willy, Johnson, Thomas, Roger, Dick. Are there any others you've heard of?

There are women who bear the family name of Johnson.

I've known women who've named their vulvas, so it's not a unisex phenomenon.

So THAT's what the last line of "Citizen Cain" was about!

I call mine "Pionocchio" since the more I lie about it, the larger it becomes.

I hadn't heard of "rosebud." I put it into Google to learn more about why, and I got some pretty graphic pictures.

There is a rumor that Rosebud in Citizen Kane was an in-joke of the writer Herman Mankiewicz: it was supposed to be Hearst's nickname for an intimate part of his mistress Marion Davies anatomy.

I suspect there are a lot of in-jokes in movies that many of us miss. I wonder what some others are.

So that's why I like vanilla ice cream so much!
