Thread Name: Folklore: Kissing Walking Corpses
Subject: RE: Folklore: Kissing Walking Corpses
In French the little death (la petite mort) is still the orgasm, or so people are taught in advanced French classes; I've personally never heard that said.
And Villikins probably didn't have to even swallow the poison if this theory of mine is true...
I thought that what Tom Lehrer said about necrophilia was something about the childhood necrophiliac who fulfilled his boyhood ambition and grew up to be coroner ... at which point a few people laughed... so Tom added "The rest of you can look it up when you get home!" and everybody laughed...
And the corpses being kissed, or desired to be kissed, had always been beloved in life; I don't know of any song where they mourn some stranger out of their grave?
