The Mary Tyler Project or Fo fo fo , & Mo no mo

Regular readers recognize MTM above as the basis for a slightly overused gag of our invention which centers on Mary's last name . Normally , it would end in ' e ' . To enhance our bloggy goodness and for Porpoises of gagification , light has been made of a certain group's  being known as the Moors , ( the um , uh , ummah ) . We don't think Mary's Dad was related to them  .  Nevertheless Mary was very much related to the Muslima of the Moors . They are all her sisters just as they are  all of ours .

Lets switch gears for a minute here while I set up the PDUS Preposition which can benefit all mankind . It is the Mary Tyler ( Billboard ) Project . More on that in a minute .

Moses Malone , predicting an NBA  Championship stated his team , ( in so many words ) would sweep the opposition aside , undefeated . Well , we did embellish . His actual words in reply to that reporter's request for a series prediction were a succinct  , and we  quote , " Fo , fo Fo " .  He meant of course that of the Four Contests , his Team would win all four of them . Obviously his brevity was much wittier .

I take inspiration from that brevity w the Mo no mo obscurity found in today's title .

Courtesy of generous funding from Preptile Industries we today Prepose the Mary Tyler Project and request funding at GMail payable to the ahem , Monomo Foundation . No , we did not mean the Mary Tyler , ahem , Moor project . Only her maiden aspirations . When Mary was but a Grrl she dreamt of finding her wings in the Big City of Minneapolis . When she did we heard her story w lovable Lou , Ted , Sue Anne , Phyllis , Rhoda , and Georgette . ( Murray , sadly . did not make our cut) . What we at PDUS have imprinted on our souls is her moment of birth , of her spreading her wings and finding her freedom . It was Mary's Grrlhood , Free at last .. ' throwing off her chador , like some Mary Tyler Moore ' .

Moor no more , just Mary

You remember the above picture , as we all do . We want it all over the Middle East , without caption . The Photo embodies the message of  Grrl facing world , as a free entity . We are not asking women in the Mid East to reject their religion , but to reclaim their Grrlhood , from before the veil was taken . With these billboards we can inspire them to  just be like Mary , unencumbered by baggage   . We want them ready FOTS to throw off that veil , and take the world head on  . They should be  unafraid to face it while showing every single face to it with pride and without shame .

Somebody like me should mail this to Mary Tyler Moore and beg for her moral support . I bet she would like our gag about Middle Eastern  ladies ' throwing off that chador , like some Mary Tyler , ahem , Moor . It was after all a chadorable gag . We hope she sees it that way too .
