Fish Tails, Or, "Icthyosoreass"

THE MERMAID 

Ogden Nash (1902-1974) 

Say not the mermaid is a myth, 

I knew one once named Mrs. Smith. 

She stood while playing cards or knitting; 

Mermaids are not equipped for sitting.

I made the same point, albeit not so poetically, back at THIS POST, but it's interesting how often Mermaid Spanking Images show up anyway!

Now, we all grew up with merwomen, 

so, familiarity generally negates the notion that encountering such a creature would be pretty goddamn scary.

Perhaps that's the subtle psychology behind the desire to tame such Faerie Denizens.  Or maybe it's just that Spankophile Imaginations don't really need all that much encouragement 

Thus, the question becomes, where does the Fish End and the Girl Rear Appear?

Of course, Ron Howard let us have both versions of Daryl Hannah in "Splash," and God bless him for it.

When the Disney Dudes decided to adapt Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid," the director told his designers and animators, "I don't want Ariel to look like a girl wearing a fish costume!"  So pains were taken to make her lower half authentically aquatic. 

However, that never stopped the aforementioned Spankophiles from depicting her over someone's lap in fish form.  I can't find any good images of that right now, but they're out there.  And Dean Yeagle had no problem whatsoever supplying Ariel with cute buttocks in this sketch for a fan:

  

Girls in Mermaid Suits With Cute Butts always reminds me of the opening of "THE GLASS BOTTOM BOAT,"  a 60's movie in which Doris Day swims onscreen to enchant the customers of her dad's (Arthur Godfrey!) tourist attraction.

Rod Taylor, fishing where he's not supposed to be, snags her mermaid tail and yanks it right off.  They have a heated exchange (ensuring, by romantic comedy rules, that they will end up together by movie's end) and Doris angrily turns tail and swims away.

As we were watching this pic on TV-- lo! so long ago-- my sister squealed with glee, "She's really NOT wearing a bottom!"  and I tried in vain to pierce the water's murkiness to see Doris's lovely naked behind.  I'm sure she was, in fact, wearing SOMETHING, but the notion of seeing Ms Day's uncovered derriere... intrigued me.  I had seen her fanny swatted in a couple of other pictures, and, as Clark Gable confirms in "Teacher's Pet," she had a lovely rump. 

Butt, I digress.

One of the first cartoons I found on-line was of this Old Salt solving our dilemma:

(By the way, Web-Ed has this over at "The Chicago Spanking Forum" on his HUMOR PAGE!)

Most Adult Parody Videos are pretty lame, however, Dallas and Company (As in, "Dallas Spanks Hard!") have created a pretty good one called "I Spank Lucy" that you can preview HERE!   It features Lucy in a show wearing a mermaid costume;  at least until this moment:

Endart did a cartoon returning us to the original idea called "Catch Of The Day."

There is a way around the Half Woman-Half Fish spanking problem that others have suggested;  here is my version:

There could be other problems there.  But, I dunno, she might be a pretty good kisser.
