jools:
smeple: Send the brush around the world to all deserving ladies? The Sisterhood of the Traveling Hairbrush, perhaps?Ha! Now that is not a bad idea smeple, but what about all those deserving men who would like a fair taste of its sting too? Since I am from Hobbit-land, I suggest 'the Fellowship of the Brush' so as not to leave out those naughty boys!!
Well, the point of "the Fellowship of the Ring" was after all to destroy the ring, and it wasn't willingly shared at all by Frodo Baggins, once he had acquired it. (I'm guessing that you don't know how to get to Mount Doom, in order to toss the hairbrush to its fiery destruction--"fiery" may be an accurate description of its effect, though.)
You're correct that "Sisterhood" would be a sexist, gender-discriminatory term for those receiving "the Traveling Hairbrush," since we guys certainly deserve sound paddlings as much as you ladies. Perhaps the terms could be combined as "The Fellowship of the Traveling Hairbrush."
(In
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, the punishment for a girl's failure to pass the pants along as scheduled was to be "a severe spanking," administered when the four young women were reunited.)
That's my cogitation, anyway...
