Heard it during a Cialis commercial last night (at the very end, in the fast-talking legalese about side-effects, erections lasting more than four hours (which I've heard a million times now but still cracks me up just the same), etc.)
Priapism is a "continuous, usually non-sexual erection of the penis." (ya gotta love that definition... I mean c'mon, what else would it be.. a non-sexual erection of the left nostril?)
So I looked up priapism and got the above definition, but I also got some more...
"A god of gardens and fertility, Priapus was the son of Aphrodite, who disowned him because he had a grotesque little body with a huge penis. He was a member of the retinue of the god Dionysus and chased after nymphs."
".... a grotesque little body with a huge penis..."
Wow! What cool stuff!
How can someone not totally groove on discovering a guy named Priapus - a guy who has a grotesque little body with a huge penis!! I mean come on... that is some cool shit.
So, from now on, in jazz clubs and beat poetry circles I would like to be known as Priapus... They'll all nod knowingly as I swagger in through the front door... "Dude.... look at that grotesque little body of his...." "Yeah... it's pretty grotesque, but you should follow him to the bathroom... that's something you gotta see...."
Priapus... I like it.
