Don't you just love it how are posts digress so much from the original topics? I haven't posted too much in the past few days so I've been reading through a lot of posts and it's halarious how one word or reference usually sparks a totally new subject. I bet this posts ends up as a discussion on the pro's and cons of pubic hair.

Hee hee, I shall enlighten you on pubic hair!! Have you ever heard of a merkin?
quote:
A merkin is somebody who lives in Merika. (Har!)
They used to shave off all the pubic hair as a cure for syphillis, so the well-to-do used wigs.
Before penicillin was around to ease the lives of the promiscuous, these were used to cover up any sores prostitutes may have obtained in the line of duty.
They used to treat the syphilitic with mercury, which caused baldness.
The merkin is for women with no pubic hair. Some people just don't develop hair down there, and this can be embarrassing.
In days of old a common problem was lice. One of the ways people dealt with this was to shave all the hair off their bodies, including arms, legs, and pubes. Wigs became very popular. Pubic wigs caught on slowly, starting among the kinkier set, but eventually became halfway respectable.
A merkin is a crotch wig for both men and women and is usually worn on the outside. Have you ever seen a Scot in full regalia? That little fur "purse" in front is a merkin.
In a country of mainly dark haired people, a prostitute may wear a blond merkin to be unusual and therefore more desirable. (Got this from a dictionary of sex.)
One of the more recent uses is to allow exotic dancers to comply with local laws prohibiting full nudity. They wear what amounts to a flesh-colored panty with hair on the front, appearing to the patrons of the establishment to disrobe completely without actually doing so.
In a sci fi story by John Varley called something like "The Barbie Murders," a group of women gives up individuality (and sex) and undergoes surgery to become perfect nonsexual beings resembling Barbie dolls. This involves losing genitals, pubic hair, etc. One Barbie goes back to being a woman for a night, painting on nipples and using a merkin.

Speaking of pubic hair wigs for women, or merkins, Pearl Jams single that contains I Got Shit and The Long Road is jokingly called Merkinball, in contrast to Neil Young's Mirrorball which the band appears on. Interesting little fact I thought I'd bring up(since merkins don't usually come up in conversation very much, at least from my experience).
Peace,

Has anyone ever heard of Dr. Gabe MERKIN? I met him once at the 9:30 Club. I was so excited. Almost noone else knew who he was. This tour manager came thru the club once and introduced herself as Julie(I think)Merkin. and I said, Hey there is this guy on the radio Dr. Gabe Merkin, I listen to him all the time. She said, He's my dad and he will be here tonite! I was so excited. Noone else could figure out why. Guess he is not so popular amongst your normal niteclub employee. Well I was excited! Thats my story, and I am sticking to it.

Is it in fact referring to the pubic hair merkin??

I would bet dollars to doughnuts that this was not named after the merkin wig. I did discover that there is a band called Merkin Wig.
I also discovered that Dr Gabe Merkin is spelled(TERI) Mirkin.
http://www.drmirkin.com/
There is also some kind of fly in fly-fishing called a Merkin
http://cyberangler.com/flyfishing/merkin.html
There is a concert hall in NYC called Merkin Hall
http://webtunes.com/venue/merkin.html
here is a link to site I could not figure out but the title was intriguing http://www.umferd.is/merkin Index of Merkin
and there seem to be about a billion listings that include Merkin in some language I could never hope to read. Looks Scandinavian
http://www.expage.com/surpo
Plus, Merkin appears to be a very common last name in this country as well. http://www.merkinequipment.com/ because I don't think this company is actually selling equipment related to the Merkin mentioned above.
I tried looking up the word in the encyclopedia and there is no listing of MERKIN.
My analysis leads me to believe it is a very common word and most probably could have multiple meanings. Maybe the Merkin wig was named after some guy named Merkin who came up with the idea. I guess I really don't know, but what I do know is I probably should have posted this under the topic heading "Jeez....I got to much time on my hands!"

Actually Merkinball was indeed named after the wig. That's how I learned what a merkin was - by reading an interview with Pearl Jam right after that single came out. To quote the Rumor Pit, an official source of information on PJ,:
quote:
Q: MTV said that a "Merkin" was a pubic hair wig (like from back in the 17th century during the plague). Is that true? Who thought up that name?
A: Yes, that's true and Eddie came up with the name for the single.
I searched and couldn't actually find an interview on it, but they still don't deny here that that's where the name came from.
Peace,
Patrick

I finally found my confirmation! By accident, while I was looking for QUEEF.(another post: http://www.timreynolds.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=921 )
I knew I had heard of another slang usage for MERKIN, and I found it. Here it is:
merkin n 1. a straight man married to or involved with a lesbian. The lesbian may be in the public eye and may have a merkin to hide the fact that she is a lesbian (e.g. Steve Martin and Anne Heche.) ("Steve was Victoria's merk in before being Anne's merkin.") Submitted by Charlene Vickers, Yellowknife, NWT, Canada, 03-01-98.
Language is a MAGICAL thing!!

I am still not convinced, but I am now leaning in that direction! I guess these are the same guys who wrote a song called "Dirty Frank"

Why that dirty Frank was a bad mutha...
I can understand how you're still not convinced. I can't remember it perfectly from six years so maybe it wasn't actually a direct quote, but I have read a few interviews with them about it in the last couple of days and it always comes up and they don't deny it... just seems like the interviewer would have either not pointed out what a merkin was if it wasn't related or he would have pointed it out and given the real inspiration for the name. I'll be sure to post a direct quote if I ever find it. Anyway, what's up with the little sketch between "pearl jam" and "merkinball"... a merkin perhaps?...
I kinda wonder if the wrecking ball has anything to do with the title, but how would "merkin" relate to that?
Peace,
Patrick

Looking at the cover I am certainly more inclined to believe you. That definitely looks like a Merkin patch inbetween PJ and Merkinball, but maybe Merkinball is a brand of wrecking ball or some kind of crane or crane apparatus. Could be a double entendre!(definition of double entendre:1 : ambiguity of meaning arising from language that lends itself to more than one interpretation
2 : a word or expression capable of two interpretations with one usually risqué) Pretty funny all the way around.
Fluffy: I want the truth!
Pearl Jam: You can't handle the truth!!

Heheheh. How about this...
Little boy: Mr. Owl, how many posts does it take to find out the real reason why Pearl Jam named a single "merkinball"?
Owl: "Let's find out. One, two, three,... "
The world may never know.

I was trying to find the answer to the Pearl Jam CD cover question and ran into this
"Mirrorball" by Neil Young and "Merkinball" by Pearl Jam: Neil Young and Pearl Jam recorded them together. On the "Mirrorball" album, Young sings lead vocals and the members of Pearl Jam serve as his backup band. On "Merkinball," which contains only two songs, Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder sings lead vocals and Young plays guitar and sings backing vocals. Because of legal complications, Pearl Jam did not play as a band on "Mirrorball," but rather the members are listed individually as contributors to the album. "Mirrorball" is one of Young's best albums, despite its lack of a successful radio single. As an album, it is on par with his "Freedom" album, which contained the career-defining single "Rockin' in the Free World." Pearl Jam's "Merkinball" contains two fan favorites, "I Got I.D." and "I Got Shit." These two recordings represent what can take place when a group of musicians as talented as Neil Young and Pearl Jam collaborate. The history between Young and Pearl Jam is one of a long friendship. Pearl Jam has performed at three of Young's Bridge School Benifits and performed "Rockin' in the Free World" with Young at the 1993 MTV Video Music Awards. Shortly after the recording of "Mirrorball," Young filled in for Eddie Vedder when the singer was unable to play a show because of a bad case of food poisoning. But the relationship between Young and Pearl Jam is more than one of friendship or musical collaboration. Neil Young is the grandfather of grunge, the musician without whom there would never have been a "Seattle sound" or an alternative movement. Pearl Jam is the most successful band to come out of Seattle and the bearer of the alternative music torch. There is a musical relationship between these artists that supercedes any personal one. "Mirrorball" and "Merkinball" are the only recorded products of the relationship between Young and Pearl Jam. They are where old and new alternative music meet, shake hands, and produce some of the best music the alternative genre has ever seen.
It doesn't answer the question of where the title came from, but I enjoyed reading it.
Also, turns out there's one movie listed on the IMDB that includes the word merkin: http://us.imdb.com/Title?0064123
And finally, I found a link I thought Fluffy might find interesting:

You know, I think the first name that appears on the closing credits to The Simpsons is a guy with the last name "Mirkin."
Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Where did that come from?! My guess would have to be Groening, since he's the creator.

I dunno. But I saw it on at least one episode. Maybe it was a joke. I'll watch a tape that I can get my grubby little hands on and see if it's there. Then I can tell you what the guy named Mirkin does and why he would be listed there, first, in the credits. I'll do that sometime.

I have noticed that as well, but not nearly as much as Liz chimed in with her explanation of a Merkin. Keep in mind it is spelled a little differently. Just a little, a smidge, you might say. Put the "I" in merkin and you got mIrkin. Oh Wait, wrong post. Sorry!!

Back to Mirkin! So I say a movie this weekend on DVD and guess who the director was? Thats right! David Mirkin of Simpsons fame. There were many interviews with him in the bonus sections on the DVD. I have seen him and heard him, he does exist, it is definitely not a joke being played on us by those folks over there at The Simpsons. The movie was called Heartbreakers and it was hilarious. It also had Jason Lee in it as Jennifer Love Hewitt's love interest. I think there are some big Jason Lee fans on the board. By the way, JLH and Sigourney Weaver are both unbelieveably HOT in this movie. I would check it out, and get the DVD if you can.

Wow for a first timer I have to say the last 2 comments are pretty bad. I'm beginning to understand why there aren't many women participating in this forum. I have to say it was not what I was expecting from a Tim Reynolds message board. From what I've read about him he doesn't strike me as the type of person who would think this kind of banter is OK. Seems to be more of the "evolved consciousness" type. Many of the comments on this board really are insulting to women and maybe even Tim himself. Fluffy does Tim pay you to insult women?

There aren't many women here, but the ones who are kick ass. I think it has much more to do with the music, and the crowd of people that truly appreciate Tim's music and style, than the joking banter of the regulars on the message board. Sorry if you are offended by the things that are said here, but I don't think that singling out and saying nasty things to Fluffy is really necessary. It's just like TV... if you don't like what you see, turn the channel.

I'm trying to think what Tim probably thinks of this board... I think he probably supports it, since he's a man who's into freedom of speech. Whether reads it on a regular basis is a whole other question, which I don't know the answer to.

Did I mention that I finished a marathon? |

Sweet and nice until provoked! I guess I'm just tired of people who fly in and treat people like shit with carelessness and then fly out as fast as they arrived!

Well Zoe, sorry if you were offended!! My comment was made in jest. The board is definitely not always suited for public consumption. That is why we created the TRelated side and this side. The TRelated side is for the public who wants to check in on TIM and things TRelated. This side is more for lame conversations about anything that comes to mind(and for razzing each other and trying to make each other laugh, we try to outwit one another). FAtSP is the side where people with a common interest in TR's music have come together to discuss other common interests and share ideas about things other than TR. Believe it or not we are not all masogynistic fucks around here, although we may sound like it from time to time. I hope that the woman on the board will step in and come to our defense. I choose not to get defensive, because that might give the indication that I feel there is something to be defensive about. Heck, sister frequents this board and I am sure she could tell you about me better than I could. My comment was a quick retort to the comment above it. Meant in humor. Sorry if it offended you. For all you know, what I meant was CHOCOLATES. We speak openly and freely here, and always make jokes with double entendres. Unfortunately we sometimes have a sick sense of humor around here. I am sorry if it offends. I hope you will at least come back long enuf to read this and if you are still offended, I hope you will at least check out the TRelated section from time to time. We would love to have you as a member of our dysFUNctional family on this side of the board, but you have to a have a rather thick skin. I am afraid you just popped up at a bad moment or post. If you stop and look around for a while you will see that alot of what you read is all in jest and good humor with no malicious intentions. FUN, that is what we are all here for. To answer your question, NO, TR does not pay me to insult women, and if you told his wife Diane about the comment she would laugh and say that is so unlike Fluffy. That is because it was a quip at the comment above and not directed as an attack on women. Our little board has been a world unto itself for so long we know comments like that will just be laughed at here on the board and not be taken as serious comments. We here on the board sometimes forget that people may stop by from "the outside world" and when you jump right in without really knowing us. We can come across as jack-asses. That is why I suggest that you stick around get to know us and join in the merriment. We have women on the board of impeccable reputation and standing. Evergreeen(NecroGirl), LizK, TeriCee, Krystal, JenJen, SarahQ, just to name a few, and they keep us boys in line when we get out of hand. Sometimes we say things just to get them riled up.(Remember the infamous "Shoe" comment Liz). The reality of the situation is that TR is a guitar player and that attracts mostly guys. So this board is comprised of mostly guys interested in guitar masturbation. There also appears to be a small segment of the female community that share an interest in guitar players for their ability and not just good looks. If you are one of these, I hope you will stick around and join in. We can always use more females on the board. Be warned we are not always the most politically correct bunch but we are all friends here. Imagine yourself sitting around with a bunch of your friends at a party or at dinner, I am sure you have said things in that conversation, that if someone walking by heard just a bit of, might think "Oh, my god, I can't believe she just said that." That is kind of how our little board is. We say things and make off-color jokes because we are amongst friends and we know each other well enuf to know we are joking. Again I am sorry you were offended by my comment. I do apologize to you for any discomfort or pain the comment may have caused you. If it makes you feel any better, I almost didn't post it because I thought it was too harsh or someone might take it wrong and then I decided what the hey, I am amongst friends, they know me better than that. Hope you will stick around and not judge me or the board to harshly. It is a great bunch of people we have here. Peace and Welcome aBOARD!(if you choose to stay)
Peace & Keep the Faith

Well I guess it's my turn. I just love this place! I get my daily dose of humor and friendship from the gang. This is a very cool group of people here. I must admit you have to have a little bit of a bizarre/morbid sense of humor here, or you will be offended. These guys are all teddy bears here, especially Mr. Fluffy  ! Like Fluffy said, when the testosterone levels get out of hand, the ladies are quite capable of giving the guys a taste of their own medicine.

Zoe vanishes without a trace. I hate people who ask a question or make a comment like that, and don't even check back to see the response. Everyone keep in mind, she is better than all of us, and she knows it. Whooo Hoo!!
