Subject: Re: Judas Q. Priest

Arnold is exactly right Don't you guys know famous peoples' middle names!

Jesus H. Christ
Judas X. Priest
John Q. Public

The ONLY acceptable variant was 'Fucking' but it works for the first two
only (*John Fucking Public), and it is not clear to me that it was a
'name.' It might have been an extended case of putative 'infixing' - e.g.,
'inci-fucking-dentally.'
