Piss in your gut....

Even though Editor Todd Foster is from the south he said he isn't familiar with the term "piss in your gut." Well, the phrase refers to entering a man's anal canal with one's penis so deeply that he can then "piss in your gut."

The movie Deliverance has a scene in which such humiliation is adequately conveyed the term "squeal like a pig."

Of course that's exactly the sort of phrase someone who hasn't yet served time for Felony-Writing-of-a-Name might not have experience with. I actually had to call a good ole boy I know for a definition...

So now I know nothing makes a man who threatens to "piss in your gut" quake in his boots more than being threatened with having his name in the newspaper!! Oh my Golly. In essence Mac was threatened with this.... WARNING GRAPHIC AND DISGUSTING



and Todd retaliated with this....



Stay tuned. I'm sure now that Todd who told the Alderman "Should another incident of this sort happen again, I can assure you your name will be all over the Opinion page of this newspaper, and a possible call made to local law enforcement," is feeling more manly, as is Mac. And - given the repercussions we can all assume that in keeping with Media General policy - if you anger their editors they will deliberately and with malice aforethought....slander your name. Unless you're a woman. Then they simply film you and talk about your breasts and make fun of you in the newsroom...

So now we know...The men at Media General get defended...the women don't.

But if all this isn't enough...then read the citizen comments....sounds like a real hot-bed of potential Pulitzer stuff there at the Bristol Herald all right:
