Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:34pm
listener james from westwood:

The term "hoople" was used in "Deadwood" as a term of derision for the rubes that populated the camp. Al Swearengen, frequent fleecer of said rubes, also referred to them individually as "hoopleheads." No new wisdom arose as a result on its real-world origin.

According to the Urban Dictionary:
"Hoople
A useless or self-serving organization. A wasteful business run by incompetents. A public sector organization with no useful purpose other than to generate paperwork, internal reports and provide incomes for its executives."
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:41pm
pacific standard simon:

Like the Laps who live in Lapland, the Hoops live in Hoopland (a bit west of the Transvaal, I believe). There, because of an isolation-derived genetic mutation, they are uniquely subject to an infection known as "hooping cough", which is accompanied by a strange upward rippling motion in the torso.

Nothing, except perhaps the two major US audiophile magazines, comes close to The Wire's knack for pretentious baloney. But I'm biased, 'cuz Musicworks favorably reviewed a paper I wrote (not without a hint of pretentious baloney) in its Summer 2005 issue, and lately a buddy of mine has been writing regularly for MW.

I do know the original CDs where reissued as one double CD fairly recently. I have it. In fact, when I got it, one of the CDs is misprinted so it looks like I had two disc 1s, when the content is indeed 1 and 2. I had to mark one so I knew which was which

Hoople-a:
In the 70s, mentions of Mott the Hoople kept bringing to mind Major Hoople, whom I was seeing daily.
www.bullworks.net...

Also, apropos "the one true Hoople," I recall a 70s radio promo for a show or an album that said the band is properly or fashionably referred to as just "the Hoople." Don't know if that was a band idea, a promo writer idea or a record company idea.

As of yesterday, I have now seen just one episode of Deadwood, and wouldn't ya know, in that episode Wild Bill got it.
