Lovelace Stories..........




LOVELACE:

<- Oscar

Linda ->

Just a quick story today. I was reading the post from Barbeque and Politics , and his Lovelace/Lovelace post reminded me of an encounter I had during college. It doesn't really matter, but I might be one of the few South Carolinians who have met both Oscar and Linda Lovelace.

Most of you have met Oscar by now, so I won't go too much into meeting him - not very interesting anyway. Linda was a little more odd....

Me and a couple buddies were driving around , basically wasting time when we decided we wanted to get some Ice Cream. We stopped at a Carvel store , and suddenly one of my friends yells, "Holy ****! It's Linda Lovelace!!" Right. The former Queen of Porn is hanging out at Carvel - 20 years after her heyday. " I heard she does live around here" my other buddy says. I thought I was the King of Useless Information, but knowing where porn stars live topped any stuff I knew.

We decided to wait for her to go in and out, and sure enough, the kids in the store knew who she was also. The girl at the counter almost followed her out the door in disbelief, and Linda left real fast. You'd think that 20 years after doing porn, no one would recognize you, but not in this case.

In a way, it's a cautionary tale for those of us in both porn and politics. Don't do something you'd be embarrassed of later - people will remember. And no, I've never seen Deep Throat..... a little before my time.

I know Oscar and I did see the movie. I would had voted for her then but not Oscar now.

Earl, I may own LD player, but other than possibly "Song of the South" (Disney Japan in engrish with Japanese subtitles), I don't see getting Deep Throat, DT2, DT3 et sequialla for it. Wasn't there a "Linda Lovelace for President" flick relased sometime? Monica's inspiration?

Discussion conduct unbecoming of a politician, wouldn't you say?
