Bedelia

Bedelia may refer to:

Bedelia (novel)

Bedelia is a novel by Vera Caspary first published in 1945 about a blissfully happy newlywed couple in which the husband learns that his wife may have a criminal past. His growing suspicion and discovery of corroborating evidence lead him to think that she might be a serial killer, and that he could be her next victim.

Set in small-town Connecticut in the winter of 1913-14, Bedelia, whose eponymous heroine was called "the wickedest woman who ever loved" on the cover of an early edition of the book, is usually subsumed under the genre of pulp fiction. However, a 2005 annotated edition published by The Feminist Press at the City University of New York shows that Caspary's novel can be seen as a contribution to feminist thought in that it raised the level of awareness amongst its readers of the unequal, if not desperate, position of freedom-loving women in pre-World War I Western society.

Bedelia is dedicated to film producer Isadore "Igee" Goldsmith, then Caspary's husband.

Plot summary

Recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches introduced 2009–2010

The following is a list of recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches introduced between September 26, 2009, and May 15, 2010, the thirty-fifth season of SNL.

Pete Twinkle and Greg Stink

Jason Sudeikis and Will Forte are commentators in an ESPN Classic presentation of a women's sporting event from the 1980s or 1990s. While Sudeikis' Pete Twinkle attempts to engage Forte's Greg Stink in actual discussion or analysis of the event, Greg is a cheerful moron incapable of even basic conversation. (Pete: "She just crushed a shot put with her bare hands!" Greg: "I've gotta correct you, Pete! She doesn't have bear hands, she has HUMAN hands! And people don't really say 'bear hands', they say 'paws.'")

The heart of the sketch is in the frequent asides where Pete promotes the feminine or sexual product sponsoring that day's event, using rhyming jingles such as "KY Jelly: Protect her from your girth, with the greatest lube on earth!"
