I was surfing around the blogs today, and found that Ally Auriemma's Culture Barista blog had disappeared. I always enjoy her writing. Anybody know if it just moved or if it is "on hiatus"? Thanks!

Ally from what I understand is now a Professor in the English Dept at UConn and because of that may no longer have a blog. At times Ally got a lot of grief about some of her blog entries and I wouldn't be surprised if she gave it up because of it.

On the south side of Chicago years ago, we called out Ally, Ally Out and Free, but that may have been "regional differences" ;) . How about "That's Ally She Wrote..."

You're welcome.


Do you think Ms. Auriemma's blog should be entitled Ally, Ally, in Free? Or Ally, Ally Oxen Free-O? (That's what we called out in my neighborhood. But then, we weren't a verbally meticulous bunch.)

I haven't heard that call in many-a-year; associated with Ring-a-Levio in the North Bronx, circa:1947-55.
Is that the neighborhood of which you speak?

I've heard both, ally, ally, oxen free when I was a kid, and ally, ally in free when I was older. Whose song ended with that--Peter, Paul and Mary? The Kingston Trio?
