The Connecticut (or Hartford or Wicked) Wits were a group of late-18th-century poets who first attempted to write a distinctly American literature. THEY FAILED.

Favorite description of an on-line item for sale
This sounds like either the title of a late-70s punk album or a mid-poem line of a 1967 extempore Ginsberg performance:
Ava Gardner Sarah Vaughan Nerve Gas Tempo
Either way, I LIKE IT!
(In actuality, it's simply a 1955 Tempo magazine with Ava on the cover and -- separate -- articles about her, Miss Vaughn, and nerve gas, but how boring is that?)
