Does mainstream media pay any attention to literary news (besides Harry Potter and Dan Brown)?  I wouldn't worry, John.

But seriously, think how the lines in the film would have been:

Aguirre:  "Up on Swill-Swallow..."

Jack:  "Swill-Swallow got us good, don't it?"

Jack:  "All we got now, is Swill-Swallow Mountain!"

Lureen:  "He said he wanted them scattered on Swill-Swallow Mountain..."


OMG, Laura, that's hilarious!

Old Man Twist:  "I know where Swill-Swallow mountain is..."

Google results for "swill swallow" list this thread as #1!  And Dave Cullen's photo caption thread as #3.

If Proulx hadn't changed the title, the filmmakers would have had to, for sure.  :P

 OK, now I'm truly laughing out loud in my office.  Thanks for that Laura!  Yeah, if nothing else... "Swill-Swallow" would probably turn into a ridiculous tongue twister after a while.  It really is pretty awful.

If she'd chosen "Bulldust Mountain" I guess we'd be calling ourselves Dusters.
