nothin but blue skies.

i know i said i'd have some crafting to share this week but oh my god it's been nice out. the kids are on vacation and we've been making the most of the uncommonly good weather. and i've been working on painting jane's room (a project i started way back here w/the thought that i'd have it finished in a week. who did i think i was kidding?)

anyway, i'll get to the crafty stuff when it's raining out. in the meantime, here are some mostly un-kid-friendly links john has sent my way recently...

celebrities swearing

(my favorite swear, incidentally, is *whore* which isn't really a swear but i feel like it packs a nice punch w/out the overdone shock value of the "c" word...)

(i also like hyphenated "fuck" words...fuck-face, dumb-fuck, fuckety-fuck)

(it's funny that i seem totally comfortable peppering this post w/swears but feel shy about whipping out the "c" word. i'm sure there's some feminist commentary on this)

the f-word - great in any context (if only I didn't have little ears around most of the time). My favorite is "fuck-tard", which is much better written than spoken.

I love a good hyphen Fcuk myself

I love the pie chart. And I feel really out of it because I think I only knew who about three of those cussing celebrities were.

[lina]

I love the youtube swearing. Hilarious.

I detest the "c" word, but whore is my absolute favorite! I probably use it a little too freely. Stick an adjective in front of it and you are good to go in any situation.

[jeanetta]

i take the shortened version and say "ho" most times. but you have to do it with the southern accent and draw it out. "ho-owa"

[Cristin]

Zach Braff....fucking awesome....

[betsy]

I'm a fuckety-fuck-fuck girl myself.

Something about that "c" word. Ya just don't even want to type it, do you? It's weird.

We've had some uncommonly nice weather here this week too! I wish I could say I'd spent them outdoors. Talking about whores I started giggling at little E's gym class when I noticed the the trampoline was called eurotramp... And the kids are jumping on her! She can't have a very easy life, poor tramp!

Fuck-tard is good. My father-in-law introduced me to my all time fave. Needle dick bug fucker. My other one is when you are just in a situation beyond repair, and are totally flumoxed, Fuck Me! Usually said with a bewildered and lost tone of voice. Don't care for the "c" word.

[lleslie]

hilarious!

[erin]

hmmm...
i am just going to say it. the "c" word doesn't bother me at all.
yeah, i'm strange.

[Jessica]

The dirtiest phrase I know is "c***ing whore". Whew! Coined by a high school friend.

The following isn't strictly an eff word as such but whilst we're on the subject, this description makes me laugh every time" "She had a face like a bull dog licking piss off a nettle" I also love, "...he was tight as a natt's chuff"

Hope nothing is lost in translation, being an English "ho-wa" an' all!

[kristen]

fuckin' a this is a great post.

[the pesky bombolino]

I love 'fuck-a-doodle-do' which Hugh Grant says A LOT in 4 weddings and a funeral!

[jen t]

i've found myself saying "for fuck's sake" a lot lately. had to watch that video twice just to hear zach braff again.

[melissa@yummygoods]

i am a fan of swearing in blogs. I feel self-conscious doing it, but more real. Well, now that everyone mentioned my boyfriend Zach Braff, I'll have to check out that youtube video.
