    This is the kind of controlled vocabulary post-co Boolean ready validated list that I can get behind.

  2. Sheila Ryan on May 12th, 2010 at 12:39 pm

    Cunt.

  3. Amanda Mae Meyncke on May 12th, 2010 at 12:39 pm

    “Be sure that any terms that show up on the pre-co and post-co list also garner the ‘aboutness’ of the artlcle and pertain to more than one.”

  4. Cindy Scroggins on May 12th, 2010 at 12:39 pm

    Thank you, Amanda. I knew you’d grasp the science.

  5. Kelsey Parker on May 12th, 2010 at 12:40 pm

    What’s with our pitiful use of c-words?

  6. Cindy Scroggins on May 12th, 2010 at 12:40 pm

    Nobody can say I haven’t done my part.

  7. Rick Neece on May 12th, 2010 at 12:56 pm

    I’m surprised. I would’ve thought there would have been a lot more of all of them.

  8. Michael Smith on May 12th, 2010 at 12:57 pm

    Where is the graph?

  9. Kelsey Parker on May 12th, 2010 at 12:58 pm

    Rick, I think we must engage in more intelligent discourse than we realize.

  10. Cindy Scroggins on May 12th, 2010 at 1:09 pm

    Fuck you, Michael Smith. Do your own goddamned graph.

    And Rick, I think the numbers are low because (a) I don’t think all of our comments are included in the newer incarnation of the site (Deron or Andrew should know if that’s correct), and (b) I searched only comments, not posts, and (c) I likely missed some creatively spelled words, and (4) multiple uses of the same word in a single comment count only one time.

    That last one might account for a lot. Daryl, for instance, tends to say shitbag in threes.

  11. Michael Smith on May 12th, 2010 at 1:12 pm

    And you left out God.

  12. Sheila Ryan on May 12th, 2010 at 1:15 pm

    Cunt, I say — at the risk of a duplicate comment being detected.

    It may look as though I’ve already said that, but this time the inflection was different.

  13. Cindy Scroggins on May 12th, 2010 at 1:15 pm

    Actually, I did God (1,165), as well as Jesus (524). But both were used on occasion in non-swear contexts, so I decided to leave them out unless somebody asked about them.

    Fuck you again.

  14. Cindy Scroggins on May 12th, 2010 at 1:16 pm

    This site is set up to detect inflection.

  15. Sheila Ryan on May 12th, 2010 at 1:17 pm

    This site is set up to deflect intention.

  16. Amanda Mae Meyncke on May 12th, 2010 at 1:20 pm

    This siiite, this siiiite, this sight has seenalotta swears butitsnevahgonnasee another swear like it had with youuu….

  17. Sheila Ryan on May 12th, 2010 at 1:22 pm

    Tea-spew.

  18. Michael Smith on May 12th, 2010 at 1:27 pm

    Should we include other gods too? I mean we’re all for diversity, right?

  19. Michael Smith on May 12th, 2010 at 1:28 pm

    Of course, by we, I mean Cindy.

  20. Cindy Scroggins on May 12th, 2010 at 1:34 pm

    Today, the part of Tracy Hinshaw will be played by Michael Smith.

  21. Sheila Ryan on May 12th, 2010 at 1:35 pm

    “I did God, as well as Jesus.”

    1971, or 1970 maybe it was, I did Ganesh on a futon in this custom van that was all painted with pictures of Shiva and Parvati and Krishna and all.

  22. Cindy Scroggins on May 12th, 2010 at 1:35 pm

    And Amanda Mae–dayum, you’re funny.

  23. Michael Smith on May 12th, 2010 at 1:44 pm

    It’s a dream come true!

    Tracy has always wanted an actor as fine as myself to play him in a movie.

  24. Sheila Ryan on May 12th, 2010 at 1:49 pm

    “The Tracy Hinshaw Story”

  25. Michael Smith on May 12th, 2010 at 1:55 pm

    Does he wear hats? I imagine him in a cowboy hat. And by that I mean I imagine me wearing a cowboy hat pretending to be him while Cindy swears in the background and finally finishes that damn graph she’s making for us.

  26. Michael Smith on May 12th, 2010 at 1:55 pm

    And a fancy tie.

  27. Deron Bauman on May 12th, 2010 at 1:58 pm

    I’m proud of us.

  28. Sheila Ryan on May 12th, 2010 at 2:00 pm

    As well you should be, Deron. We are your Creation.

  29. Deron Bauman on May 12th, 2010 at 2:01 pm

    blah.

  30. Lauren Stephenson on May 12th, 2010 at 2:04 pm

    Fuckin’ peacocks.

  31. Michael Smith on May 12th, 2010 at 2:04 pm

    “includes peacock.”

  32. Michael Smith on May 12th, 2010 at 2:04 pm

    whoa

  33. “The Clusterflock Story” : clusterflock on May 12th, 2010 at 2:18 pm

    [...] the group bio-pic, who should play whom? We know that Michael Smith will play Tracy Hinshaw in “The Tracy Hinshaw Story” (in production), and I am thinking that “The [...]

  34. Andrew Simone on May 12th, 2010 at 2:29 pm

    I have to admit all those numbers do seem low. We should have all the comments carried over, but I wonder how well they are indexed.

  35. vin. on May 12th, 2010 at 3:03 pm

    I’m impressed with the frequency of “dammit” appearing on c-flock. Is this due to our midwestern influences?

  36. Sheila Ryan on May 12th, 2010 at 3:11 pm

    Dammit, Vin, it’s hard to say.

  37. Daryl Scroggins on May 12th, 2010 at 4:03 pm

    Can you do this chart like one of those old mechanical boards that keeps score? You know–so you could write cunt cunt cunt and watch those numbers pile up? That would be good. And maybe we could sometimes have a kind of racetrack commentary going in the background: “Coming up on the outside it’s–Shitbag! Shitbag by a length at the turn for home But Oh-My-it’s Motherfucker on the Outside–Motherfucker, with jockey Joey Cock whipping the shit out of him, driving that dickhead down the stretch….”
