cussing

I, for one, am glad that the media made a big deal about Joe Biden’s f-bomb. If our culture doesn’t keep swear words taboo, I won’t be able to enjoy articulating those four letter delectables. Oh, to curse with the relish of a ten year old boy again! How I long for it!

    This is where I first heard CF, the uh, ur-version.

    Reminds me of when our friend Carolyn’s daughter, Angie (whom we have known since she was five years old) first came home from the Navy, having broken her hip in “war games”–or something. She was honorably released from further service. She swore like a sailor! It was a delight! And frightening. (This sweet little girl who once played on our computer, drew pictures that we still have framed and sitting in a book case, while the rest of us had, sometimes, heated conversations in the next room with swearing interspersed for effect.) The words she could string together in casual conversation! They taught her well. She’s older now (28-ish) and now when we see her (rarely) she rarely does it.

    Binx–Damn that’s good. It just does my heart good to see Carlin again.

    Rick–that just shows you have to stay in cussing shape. Don’t let a sedentary lifestyle sap the ability to lay down a swath of language that does hair the way old ladies like it!

    Oh, Daryl! Let me do that old blue hair. Let me curl it.
