You did it! We figured this one out! It is a truth universally acknowledged (by me for certain) that the Bitchery pretty much knows everything, and really, it's true. Scroll down to see the solution for this HaBO - and many thanks!
Awhile back, Bethany sent this in, and she’s still looking for this book:
The book’s title is (I think) Montana
Moonshine, and it’s about a man hired by a lady’s father to kidnap her
from her wedding in Illinois and bring her back to Montana…It’s a period
novel and they spend the whole thing calling each other by their locations
rather than names. They travel some incredibly roundabout way back to
Montana, and are in love by the time they get there. Her father isn’t
incredibly pleased as they’re having sex by this time.The thing is I read it over ten years ago and I can’t remember the author
or publisher so I can’t find it to read again…it was my introduction to
the romance novel, so there’s a little sentimentality here, but I’d
love to find it.
“Hey! Delaware.” “Yeah?” “I got your Jersey RIGHT HERE.”
Ok. I’m done now. Anyone recall this book?
That sounds like Montana Moonfire by Carol Finch.
I’m so very, very sorry I googled “Montana moonshine”. I can never un-know that.
Shannon, you got me curious and I googled it too and now I wish I never did.
Seriuosly, you do not want to know what that means. I wish I could scrub my brain clean, but, alas, I cannot.
And you know, after those comments, I had to google it too. I agree. There isn’t enough bleach in the world for my eyes or brain.
Damn my curiousity.
Ew. Curiosity didn’t quite kill this cat, but it made me nauseous.
On a (cleaner) tangent brought on by SB Sarah’s comment, does anyone else remember a kids’ song that uses the names of states as names of people, question and answer style? “What did Della ware? She wore a new jersey. What did Ida hoe? She hoed a merry land. What did Io weigh? She weighed a washing ton. How did Flora die? She died of misery.” [Missouri, my kids always had trouble with that one.] My kids think I made it up, because none of their friends ever learned this song.
You can’t sucker me in; I’ve learned my lesson looking up “hedgehog” on urban dictionary. Well, at least, you can’t sucker me til I get home—I don’t dare look it up at work, clearly! LOL
gives89—which likely explains my complete lack of an SO—I’m 20 off đ
So of course I had to be a lemming and google said phrase…
Now, I have only one question. Who are these people who spend their time inventing disgusting sexual practices that it is highly doubtful any actual human being has ever performed? (I’m not condemning kink, I get the whole GGG attitude, I’m all for being sex-positive, and yadda yadda; I just don’t believe that the sex act described is real. Ignoring everything else, I don’t think
the bladder sphincter could relax that quickly after ejaculation.
[Hopefully I’ve spoiler-tagged that appropriately so no one has to read it who doesn’t want to.] It’s kind’ve like a donkey-punch: I just don’t believe that anyone actually does it, whatever teenage boys might want to smirk about.)
Done with my OT-ness for the night.
Kudos to Erin for IDing the book so quickly.
Dammit! Sorry about that. Thought I knew what I was doing.
(SB Sarah adds: Don’t worry, I fixed it.)
LMAO.
Sybylla: I can believe it’s been done in porn. Because in porn, they have to keep topping (ugh, don’t think about the pun) the last disgusting thing they did. So while I doubt there’s anybody out there who likes it, or that many people who do it (or try to), I can totally buy that this has been done in porn. And, though not in every case, there are some porn actors/actresses who probably have enough body control to do that.
And now I need to go shower in bleach.
I’m not going to google it, I’m not going to google it, I’m not going to google it…I’m really not. But I will admit to a powerful curiousity! But since I have a weak stomach, I think it’s best left to my strong imagination…or maybe my imagination is even worse than the real definition. But based on the spoiler from Sybylla, I think knowing would be worse than speculating.
Mother of God, Why?!
@SonomaLass, I think that’s a 50’s song by Guy
Mitchell ( I remember it being played on Family
Favourites when I was a child- but I don’t know its
name)
…And as for the URGH moment of the weekend
I’m off to watch back to back episodes of
Midsomer Murders to cleanse my brain of that
image.

The song Delaware, with the first line, ‘What did Della wear, boys?’ was sung by Perry Como: though a novelty number, it wasn’t really a children’s song as such, and was infuriatingly popular for a time even in the UK, probably around 1957 as I recall, though I haven’t checked that date.
I have no difficulty in refraining from googling something which is likely to make me feel queasy! Probably age dampens down one’s curiosity a bit!

Old joke:
Woman: “I’ve been told I have a body like NJ.”
Man (hand cupping her breast): “What’s this?”
“That’s Point Pleasant.”
(hand on hip) “And this?”
“That’s Middlesex.”
“I suppose that is Cherry Hill?”
“Not at all. That’s Eatontown.”
OMG Why couldn’t I leave well enough alone . . .I looked . . . I tried not to but . . ..OMG WHY??? and sidenote, I don’t think I could ever read this book without giggling or gagging when I’d either think of the name of the book or look at the cover. Jeezum some people’s children do some WEIRD stuff. WOW.
Ken’s joke made this Jersey Girl happy to have something to get the google search out of my mind. I’ve got to remember head warnings.
Poor Bethany. She just wanted to find a lil’ ol’ book.
Looking up Montana on urban dictionary reveals a much longer list if disturbing stuff. I think most of it is made up. I hope.
Got curious – about the song – found more then one version.

The one thing I can’t find – the composers!
The extreme mental trauma is just our free gift to her đ
I’m confused. Did we ever find the book Bethany was looking for?
JamiSings: the song might well be at least partially ‘traditional’ in the USA. But it was a hit recording by Perry Como, which is why I associate it with him. Not a favourite song of mine, nor yet a favourite singer!
Deb: yes, the actual book was pinned down by Erin, in the very first post in this thread. đ
It’s taking everything I’ve got not to google Montana Moonshine.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not google …
I totally understand why curiosity killed (or drowned) the cat now ::shudders::
months66- yes it will take me that long to forget what I have learned here today lol
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not google …
or gargle….
Sadly, that is only the second most disturbing sexual practice that I learned about this week via our good friends at Urban Dictionary. I will spare you all the mental anguish of naming the first most disturbing. I’m live and let live, by all means, but some things, you gotta wonder why anyone tried in the first place, let alone enough people to coin a slang term.
Jesus Christ. WHY?
Curse you, Google! For those who follow, trust me: no amount of curiosity is enough for what you will find if you google Montana Moonshine. Don’t do it! Just say no!
Spamword: took27. It took 27 shots of vodka to make me forget.
That’s Google these days: A Surprise With Every Search.
I’m with Sybilla on this one, it’s just a bunch of frat boys sitting around, thinking of the grossest sexual acts they can come up with, because a lot of them are too improbable to actually happen in real life. And some of them seem biologically/physically impossible.
At least Bethany got to find her book… how awful if she tried googling for it first…
Spamword: mind12 : It takes the mind of a 12 year old to come up with some of these things.
I didn’t google! I mentioned it to my husband, he googled then had the gall to read it to me!!! Gack!
I’m not googling – I’m not googling – really I’m not b/c you guys have now scared me to death. I suppose we who did not google should thank you all for taking it for the team?
This Jersey Girl likes Ken’s joke too. Gotta remember that one.
spamword: given67 y’all have given me 67 reasons not to google Montana Moonshine. Thanks for that.
ROFL, that was like an epidemic. Definitely not the most distrubing I’ve read about on Urban Dictionary either. Not even close.
soviet63—I am not even touching that.
Pushed to the top of Google!
But that is a very pretty Hosta called Montana Moonshine a little down the page. I wonder how it does in Zone 6a?
Spamblocker: position 27—nah, not going to google that at all.
Just like the phrase “going rogue”. I’m pretty sure that Sarah Palin didn’t know what it meant on Urban Dictionary before she used it for the title of her book. It’s not as strange as montana moonshine but still you would think that someone on her staff would have googled that phrase first…lol.
Being from Montana, I can only think of one disgusting thing that comes from the state—Rocky Mountain Oysters. (it’s safe to google)
I’ve never heard of Montana Moonshine and I’m not googling it. You can’t make me. Because I learned from people’s reactions to 2g1c that sometimes it’s best NOT to know.
We talked about mountain oysters a few posts back.
Of course I did google Montana Moonshine and…. okay then.
I HAD to Google it and had to fight a gag reflex. What? No cuddling? And who says they need to wash their face after sex? WTF!!
Of course I had to look it up…I try to be open-minded, but yuck. Please pass the eye bleach.
I should’ve read the comments first. Why, Oh Why, Oh WHY didn’t I read the comments first.
wrong98 – That is MORE than 98 kinds of wrong
Ken’s joke is AWESOME. And yup, Erin nailed it in one (haha). Stay tuned. I got a pile of titles to create. Oh, Photoshooop? C’mere.
