Do I make babies in my mouth?
“Do I make babies in my mouth? … cum somewhere else… and I’m not suggesting it… I’m telling you…”
My trip to Colorado this week was amazing! I had a screening at University of Northern Colorado, in Greeley, a town made famous by the cow dung aroma described in Fast Food Nation. I stayed with Professor Nick Syrett, author of “The Company He Keeps: A History of White College Fraternities” who in his previous life was my travel partner in far flung adventures in the Middle East, Maghreb and the hallowed halls of Tina Turner concerts. The film was the kick off event for UNC SAFE week, sponsored by the Women’s Studies Department, The Assault Survivor Advocacy Program, the prestigious gentleman of Nu Alpha Kappa Fraternity, the local police, and more. Had the pleasure of meeting Historiann there, too.
I was told that the student body leaned toward conservative and that many of the students were married. I cringed through the dirty parts of my movie and hoped I wasn’t traumatizing anyone. The screening had over 80 students in attendance, folks asked great questions… and as evidenced above, they were not shy about speaking their minds!

Nancy–it was great to meet you and see your film. Some new commenters have joined in after a link from Shakesville, so if you have a chance this weekend, come on over and check it out.
Again, thank you for coming out and sharing your story! It was a very powerful evening.
Thanks to both of you for coming and for writing about it. Have hopped back onto Historiann and left comments.
I hope to be back in Colorado next November, so perhaps I’ll pass through Greeley again? At the very least, a visit to Boulder is in order – they had some hesitation about showing the film, “too controversial” for the campus right now… sounds like they need a screening and q/a!
