How to Swear Effectively

By On May 27, 2010 · 6 Comments · In Friends, Lost, Misc

So a few people have asked when I’m gonna write something about the Lost finale.

I loved it like crazy, but don’t know how much I have to say about it. I thought it was amazing.

Once again, they managed to do something that nobody predicted yet still “fit” perfectly. This is my favorite image from the episode.

Anyway, a lot of you who have read me for years know I’m not a fan of “easy” toilet humor and excessive swearing for the sake of doing it.

It’s not that I don’t think these things can be funny, it’s just that swearing for the sake of swearing doesn’t work for me.

I was having a broadband real-time dot com chat with @kristinbrennan yesterday that addressed this further.

me: Hey Kristin

Kristin: hi b
Kristin: why are you calling me that lol

me: lol I wanted to to see what would happen

Kristin: haha no one calls me that
Kristin: except you, right now
Kristin: even my mom calls me kb

Kristin’s new status message – deathblog :( 4:13 PM

me: What does deathblog mean

Kristin: i feel like crap
Kristin: i think its allergies but im not a doctor so i have no idea what my neckup’s problem is
Kristin: but im like sore throat, clogged head headache that no matter what i take wont go away
Kristin: its just not fun

me: How long have you been like this

Kristin: the headaches have been all week
Kristin: so i took a clartin like a normal person thinking it would help
Kristin: and excredrin didnt help. i think i stuffed too many pills into me at once :(

me: Sometimes they get stuck and won’t work cause there are so many
me: And you are so little

Kristin: is that true or are you being silly
Kristin: i’m super little :(

me: No it’s not true

Kristin: oh i hate you lol
Kristin: i actually believe you for a second

me: But KB it sounds like you probably have f***ing AIDS

Kristin: LOL!!!!

me: Can I put this on my blog

Not much more needs to be said other than figuring out what KB’s “neckup” is.

You may remember we run a company together – at the next board meeting I will bring this up.

    Lesson of the blog post:
    There is no such thing as too many pills.

    I tried to do neckups at the gym but I was wearing jeans.

    “I couldn't do TASK X because I was wearing jeans” should be a meme for sure.
