Ass-Headed Bottom no longer deserves his pun. He must have eaten some bad fruit and unlearned the innocence he had back when he first named the animals, including the rabbits and the rats. So I propose that we rechristen him: something simple and un-Shakespearean that Richard Pryor, God bless his filthy mouth, would appreciate and endorse. At first I thought Mudbone would do, but the wino philosopher proved too speculative and spontaneous for Bottom. Then, after watching all four episodes of the prematurely cancelled Richard Pryor Show, blessed epiphany:
Because all he does recently is soil our rugs, he's much more Woo than Bottom--no witty Humanist turn of phrase, but a pornographer's micturating thug. And he's not even housebroken:
Chaucer condemns you. Walter Sobchack condemns you. Slothrop and I love you, but, you know, you're Woo. You peed on our fucking rugs.
