Ludovica commented on the word nightmare custard pie
After thinking about it, I think I got it. It conveys the feeling of slapstick comedy within a nightmare inspired in some people by the sight of a gay parade...
From Tom Burke as quoted by David Skinner
Don’t misunderstand, they aren’t your traditional Hilton rubes, this Pasadena burgher and the little woman, they have viewed with compassion the Louds and wouldn’t be caught dead in New York in madras shorts or cameras on straps like talismans, but this, this, it does give them pause and they freeze at the curb like Lot’s wives, hit full-face by the nightmare custard pie of it . . . .
