I am as is well-known foursquare against the use of obscenity and profanity in online political discourse; it is totally unnecessary, unbecoming, and immature, and reveals the total lack of education of those who indulge in such ill-bred coarseness. Those troglodyte fuckers can go fuck themselves with a, uh, big giant fuck.
So from this perspective I am perfessionally interested in the reaction to the video over there. —–> (Or up there ,^, depending on the size of your monitor.)
The video was produced by these people; the basic deal is that you watch the video, laugh, send them $13, and of that $5 goes to the charities listed under the Vote link, and the rest goes, presumably, to their crack dealers and Al Qaeda. They do appear to be On The Left, you know, and that is the sort of thing those people would do.
Oh that is a joke. Ha ha ha.
I’m not endorsing this site, neither personally nor from an FDL perspective, because, well, what do I know. Check the link and read around, make up your mind, do what you want. But I am fascinated by the response from our Right Wing Friends (formatting in the original screaming):
‘UnF–kTheGulf.com’ Ad Mixes Children and Profanity to Push Left Message
And there you go.
If the parents of the kids were OK with this, well, OK then. Otherwise personally I am horrified etc. and demand smelling salts and puncheons of Irish, as this vulgarity makes me feel faint and I require a restorative posthaste, shudder. (Adjusts monocle, prepares epigram on the fatuity of those enamored of the Burne-Jones aesthetic, and so forth.)

Oh, laddie, ye’ve launched a fuck thread.
FUCK YEAH!
Slainte!
saTHERSday nite live — with fucks!
fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke
I’m serious at least about the puncheons of Irish…
Fatuity ! Such big words on an “f” thread. Makes me laugh.
and fuck breitbart for being such a fucking doofus about the fucking tshirts and who gives a fuck about anything that fucker says — he’s a fucking liar
I particularly like the grandmotherly-type woman at around 0:50. I don’t recognize her, but tomorrow morning, as I look out at the gray-haired women in my congregation, I’m going to be wondering which of them is her sister.
Yes, Thers, that’s the first thing I think of when I see your name: “Oh right, he’s the one who can’t stand cursing.”
:)
Hey, Breitbart, you know who else didn’t like it when people cussed? Hitler!
Thers!
Fuckity fuck fuck fuck!
I know!
Cursing just pisses me off.
Fuck Hitler! (Oh, sorry, that’s Eva’s job.)
My personal favorite of the week, Ratfuck!!!
there’s fuckery afoot — i’m sure breitbart will have a heavily edited video about it up soon…
I’ve got a “left message” for Breitbart…
What I really love is how the TradMed still hasn’t fucking banished Lord Farquaad from our national discourse, and likely never will.
You rang?
And here’s the video!
It’s just this kind of vulgarity in public discourse that makes me glad former WaPo Ombudswoman Debbie Howell is no longer on this plane. Her fainting sofa, however, is now free.
Donald Segretti, please go to the ratfuck courtesy phone…
Aw, I’d never use profanity next to ratfood. Bob would get mad at me.
Fucking A
Fucking Insane!!!!!
LOL!
*waves*
They are both delicate.
You think you make funny joke ha ha BreitbartTV comments section has your number!
“Cloward Piven,” for the uninitiated. Sometimes you almost have to admire the audacity.
Lord Farquaad would not approve, I fear.
This video proves idiotic infantilism is not limited to the right wing.
Way to tap the obscure ratfucking reference! :)
Hi Fuckers.
fuck, I can’t see the video cause my good machine broke and I am on a really old one. fuck. Does the video really say fuck in it?
Howdy, howdy, howdy! :)
Isn’t that an anagram for something? I swear, if we could just decode it we could unlock the gateways to Superman’s Fortress of Solitude…
try this link for some pictures
This reminds me of more than a few Late Nite posts by TRex, whose classic phrase “What kind of fuckery is this?” still echoes in my head. But the classic was TRex’s “how to write a letter to the editor“:
Truer words were never spoken.
Fuckin’ A, Thers !
What Suz Fucking said !
Let’s get together and fuck up BP. Buy a tee shirt , it’s totally fucking worth it.
Man, that’s fucked up!
What, the motherfucking douchenozzle’s still alive?! And even allowed to participate in public life? What the fuck?!
How the Fuck are ya, Loo Hoo ?
Puncheons is a great word. (So I find after looking it up.)
Used in a sentence:
” He had a puncheon of rum for his body in case he should die during the voyage. ”
Also this: Etymology: Middle English ponson, punchon, from Anglo-French ponchon pointed tool, support, ultimately from Vulgar Latin *punctiare to prick, pierce
Always gets back to pricks in the end, doesn’t it?
Oh yes. Even a fucking child says it…we’re all fucked.
*cough* … are you sayin’ that you’re an old Fuck ?!!
Ah, yes. I remember it well. :-)
Well, yeah. But by the same token and in this vein, collaterally, blog posts are not letters to the editors, and neither are viral internet videos.
Watch the “family values”/pro oil crowd try to prosecute the people for getting children to say “fuck”. That’s going to be fucked up too.
Bob doesn’t pick up words easily. In two and a half years I don’t believe he’s learned any from me (nanday conures have comparatively small vocabularies). I suspect the words he does use were picked up as a result of constant repetition by other birds during the three years he lived at the rescue.
Anyway, no danger of him learning curse words. I had a friend who owned an Amazon parrot. When it didn’t get a satisfactory amount of attention it would scream a five minute stream of profanity… which amused me but wasn’t particularly well received when her ultra-religious mother dropped by.
TRex is a F*cking genius !
EDITED for the presence of the Man in Cloth.
The right wing is fine with this kind of language – as long as they’re the ones using it. As usual.
Pretty f’ing good. How are YOU?
If it’s true that only the good die young I suspect that he is in no imminent peril.
It is the palindrome for Disaster Capitalism. Wingnuttia turns everything on its head.
Does Bob do a lot of Donald Duck-type muttering?
Romanes eunt domus
No, wait . . . Romani ite domum!
Fucking miserable, thanks fer askin’ ! *g*
Cf. Cheney, Dick.
Anyone know where TRex is these days? Does he have a blog?
*sipswhiskey*
Why yes it does lassie.
Puncheon, luncheon, truncheon, it’s eons of pricks wrecking yer buz, screwing yer meal, or bashing one about the head and shoulders.
We call them “Republicans.”
*sipsmorewhiskey*
Don’t trouble yourself on my account.
i think he is mainly on just facebook now.. his blog hasn’t been updated in fucking ages
A-$^#&ing-men.
Hah!
Don’t get me started!
His blog is “I am TRex” but he hasn’t posted anything for ages.
Was that the work of the Judaean People’s Front or those awful splitters, the People’s Front of Judaea?
He is my fucking friend on facebook.
People called Romans they go house? What’s Latin for Roman…..?
(((Petro)))
I think you mean the Popular Front….
Forget about profane words. What’s a puncheon? I had to look up Edward Burne-Jones. Math is hard.
As has been observed, the Segrettis of the world have taught me their language, and my profit on’t is, I know how to curse.
Thanks, Suz and Twain. Too bad.
He does mutter incoherently at times (gee, maybe he did learn something from me after all). His primary phrases are “It’s morning, it’s morning, it’s morning!” when he first sees me, appropriately enough, in the morning. “Hello,” spoken pretty often but particularly when the phone rings and “Have a kiss?” sometimes accompanied by a kiss. Gotta be careful to correctly read his mood though, because it has sometimes preceded a bite.
He’s writing a book, I have it on certain authority.
So if I turn Leon Wieseltier on his head while simultaneously kicking William Safire in the balls, that causes the Chicago Boys to drop their human masks and start eating kittens?
From cursing it is but a mere step to this little item, found at Netroots Nation.
Haha! You quoted Caliban. Rhymes with Taliban.
Fucker.
And Thers wins his own thread!
Speaking of BP: Oil Spill: BP’s Tony Hayward will ‘quit in days’
Oh, goody!
True. Lee Atwater checked out pretty early so I gather the saying doesn’t hold up in every instance. Might add that I took no pleasure in his passing, in fact I somewhat admired his ruthless political savvy. I just wish he had used his talents for the betterment of humanity instead of serving the Dark Side.
That’s fucking great!!
Hee hee. I like to screw around with the “you curse because you have a poor vocabulary” crowd.
A “puncheon” is an old English unit of measurement for amounts of booze, especially wine, but also whiskey, or whisky. More than a butt, not so much as a hogshead.
You’re the coolest Man of God I’ve ever known !
Terrific insights and wisdom, always.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
It’s worth a try, anyhow…
Heh.
It could be disputable, but methinks you owe me a puncheon of Irish.
Thanks for pointing that out. Could serve as a nifty fundraiser. Wonder if my local PBS station might be interested..?
Shocking. That Wheeler woman is… frightful!
“And for a donation of $10,000, well send you an autographed photo of Ms. Wheeler wearing that item, standing next to David Shuster.”
We should send one for that Fucker from The Hill to wear next time he’s on MSNBC.
i do believe she said she’s on an old fuck. good old ron.
hi everyone. awesome fucking video.
Bwahahaha … kissing up to the Senator, eh ?
Forgot the link.
Preview is my friend.
Preview is my friend.
Preview . . .
Yay!
Unfortunately my ten grand must’ve fallen through the hole in my pocket.
Also, please don’t ask why I cut the bottoms out of my pockets…
evening, firegods
We’d have to resurrect Safire’s rotting corpse, and that might require a few hundred cans of Lysol and a few sacrifices to Surtur the Fire God. I don’t know if the caterers can handle all that.
Allo, gw. How’s it going?
Hey, PPD!
“Along with a Wheeler-signed pocket copy of the United States Constitution as distributed by the American Civil Liberties Union!”
Crap, I think I spilled it onto the puncheon floor. Sorry!
Interactive and zoomable down to 100 meter resolution, way cool map of Mars.
Why do people who carry the Constitution hate America?
hiya, LH
Hey !
Quit picking on Mitt Romney …
I don’t think they read it. They are the same kind of people who buy books at garage sales to fill up empty bookshelves. They are props, not reference materials.
sweet. the pakistani family i’ve been helping to get over here got here last saturday night and we had a birthday party for the boy who turned 11 today. i got him a black cowboy hat just like the one his daddy’s got. it’s so wonderful to see mom and the 8 kids here after two years of dad being here and the rest of the family in pakistan.
OK, I just want to say I like the Burne-Jones aesthetic. Pre-Raphaelites are just fine with me, especially because they don’t involve obscenity. Unless you think this is obscene.
Damn – nobody used Caliban’s next line from the Tempest, and I was soooo leaving it open:
Fucking Commie Shakespeare!
Which amendment guarantees the right to strap his pooch to the roof of his car?
Shitfuck!
Where is hetero marriage mentioned in the Constitution? According the the theories of all of the Constitution thumpers, none of them are married legally. Oops….
Oh FUCK! I bump into this thread at 110 and am way, way behind. Well, Fuck!
Or like holy scripture, they only read the parts which appear to validate their prejudices and ignore the rest. Where would humanity be without the limitless capacity for self deception?
I’ll let Kelly take this one … paging Mr. Canfield to the white courtesy phone !
ratfood, i have a hideous confession to make. all this time here at fdl, i thought bob was your spouse. and tonight i learn that bob is a BIRD. how could this have happened? i am devastated, no, make that fucking devastated. i am soooo embarrassed.
OK, I am drifting, niters all.
I haven’t read Shakespeare in decades but I still have his collected works along with Oscar Wilde’s and wouldn’t you know it? The book covers are red….
’bout Fucking time you showed up !
Christine !
In a better place I can’t help but think.
So, I might hear these terms on maybe Cadfael, what? Thanks for explainifying that. Most appreciated. And good night and enjoy your dram!
Pooch-strapping is in the Testicles of Confederation, not the Cramstitution.
*silly people*
right fucking way! Hiya PETRO!
g’nite thers
G’nite Thers. Thanks for hosting LN.
Of course! Between diaper wearing and mens’ room cruising…..
(Adjusts monocle, prepares epigram on the fatuity of those enamored of the Burne-Jones aesthetic, and so forth.)
Oh Thers, the Burne-Jones aesthetic! Gold star, my friend!
evening, CE
ROFLMFAO !
Fucking Brilliant, Kelly !
Hey PPDCUS! How’s your fucking temperature?
That’s exactly what the right wingers warned us about, fucking liberals marrying animals! DOMA
It’s the puncheon of whiskey going…whew!
is puncheon where we get the term punch drunk for a boxer?
Used your link to pick out a nice crevasse on Mars to locate my summer cottage. Just gonna park my ass in my crevasse and chill…
Time to power down. Wishing a fantabulously fucking pleasant evening to all. :-)
hahahaha
My experience indicates it is easier to fuck things up than to unfuck them. Ask Bristol Palin how easy it is to unfuck your fuckups.
g’nite rat
Nite rat.
Ciao chico!
gnite rat and gnite to your BIRD bob!
Has anyone seen newspaperbrat lately?
If you don’t defend your goal somebody’s bound to slide their puck in.
Burne-Jones… had to wiki for the reference.
Sweet dreams, Rat.
It might be related to punch, but not being brain-damaged by a punch where fist meets face too many times.
The fuckup isn’t letting the puck inside the net, it’s in not coating the net in plastic.
hiya CE — running about 98.6 F — how’s everything in OH?
Bristol did get $30,000 for a speaking engagement. She wouldn’t have made THAT kind of money as a virgin. In Bristol’s world fuckup is the bomb.
My fav (well, one of many). And speaking of which, I saw TWO today at the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh that I did not know about, both having to do with the Nativity. Beautiful, and huge. Made for a church in England.
Sigh, love those dudes. They painted like angels, but guess what? Fucked each other like bunnies.
Whoa! This quick video will make you sit up straight.
My favorite comment at Breitbart’s blog re the vid and shirts:
I haven’t.
She’s fucked until she gets out from under her fucked up parents.
you funny!
LOL … ET !
My god it was 94 in Pittsburgh today. We had a road trip just to stay in air conditioning. Found a fabulous used bookstore, saw the museum, and ended up in a rainstorm in Ohio. Great to be home, under the fans and with huge glasses of iced seltzer.
i couldn’t bring myself to go to that fucker’s site… much less into the comments. my blood pressure would zoom and i would start to swear about their lack of moderation and before ya know it…. steam is rising and my mellow is severely harshed.
thanks for checking them out et so i didn’t have to
Sounds like he was a busy guy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Burne-Jones
Hey Suzanne! What a thread.
Oh fuck, I forgot to read the first 100!
thers always has the best fuck threads
Those Victorians were such fuckers…
Weather out east has been hot and heavy on tv.
Indeed! Fuck, yes.
hi Suz
Oh, I’m from Delaware, where the humidity will kill you.
hey ppd — how are ya tonight?
I fucking HATE when that happens.
Zup Suz, pups?
What the fuck is up with this fucking heat???? As my pappy used to say “It’s fucking hotter ‘en the hinges o’ hell.” FUCK!
must go to sleep. i need to already by someplace by 7:30 am. gnite all! keep cool.
g’nite gw
I’m used to this in Delaware, and in New York and EVEN in New England. But not in Ohio. We are snow people.
We got to that fork in the road, Suzanne, and I took it.
hey ofguy – i’m so thankful that it was not hot here. got up to 90 in portland and tomorrow is supposed to be just as hot but here at the coast, i had the breeze dueling with some low clouds most of the day and it stayed in the high 60′s and low 70′s.
yeehaw! a thread with my favorite profanity! FUCK! there. i feel better already.
*waves at Thers, Suze, and the Pups*
Yeah, she’s fucked. Poor Bristol. At least she has a job lying other teenagers into pregnancy.
WooHoo OFG! Glad you’re back. :)
good thanks — how’s everything up north?
I just posted it at my blog. Cpt. Crews, the pilot, has been a member of the Snowbirds, the RCAF aerobatic unit. They’ll be performing in Anchorage this coming weekend.
He just narrowly, narrowly missed getting totally fucked. Apparently, he’ll be OK.
{{{{{ NDFG }}}}}
And the storm we drove through dropped the temperature 20 degrees in ten minutes. It was scary and very awesome! I was hanging on to the Jesus handle on the passenger side for dear life.
Thank Heavens he survived !
Huh, it’s 12:41 AM, 20 minutes until 1 in the morning here, and just checked the thermometer.
It’s still 88 fucking degrees.
And humid.
FUUUUCKKCKK!
And no just since I’ve posted the first one I’ve had two instances of my lights blinking.
Great. Just great. Lose electricity and not only no air conditioning, but no toobz as well.
Fuck.
my local news had a segment about it tonight and they said he hit the ground hard and was dragged a couple hundred yards by his chute before he was able to collapse the chute. he was ejected laterally instead of vertically — very fucking lucky dood
Is the humidity bad in Ohio?
fuck
After watching the video, I think I’d take my family on a trip out of Anchorage next weekend.
Hey Margaret.
Sorry again, let’s see how long I can stay out of the penitentia… pentitear.. jailhouse this time. :)
Compared to the east coast, it is nothing. Cleveland does not have a clue what humidity is, really. I’m pretty chipper here under the ceiling fan, with cheap oscillating fan nearby.
You didn’t have to go last time as far as I’m concerned. :)
{{{ PETRO! }}}
I’m going to fucking bed. Good fucking night all.
The way the weather has been for the last six weeks, they’ll have to fly underground to be seen. Our summer is beginning to look fucked up. I can’t believe how well my garden is doing, considering.
Quick, put extra underwear in the freezer while you have time. Nothing cools you down faster then frozen underwear. A southern woman told me that.
Fucking A-Dios Peg!
g’nite margaret
Getting ready for Suzanne at LLN, so I’ll have to say to all, well, just fuck it all now, and I’ll see you there. Thanks, Thers.
or a frozen pillow at bedtime. love to stick my pillow in the freezer about an hour before bedtime when its hot. cools me right down and i can flip the pillow if needed to get more cool.
Sweet fucking dreams, Peg.
see ya there ce — bring your popcorn! ya still have a few minutes to get ready before it posts…
Oh, Suz. How do you have room in the freezer for a pillow? Don’t you keep it full of empty milk containers, etc. filled with water. It’s best to keep the freezer full of frozen containers earthwise. I exchange the frozen containers in the freezer with unfrozen in the refrigerator. Back and forth…
Kelly, are you still here?
i don’t do the frozen bottles anymore — had a really small freezer in boulder creek. i learned that i could mash the pillow down pretty small… and if the pillow didn’t fit, to freeze the pillowcase.
*waves at CE*
Working on new website, so multi-tasking.
Sorry! Amelie on Starzce!
Fuck those fucking fucks.
grab your fucking popcorn — snagglepuss is upstairs
rovers in the comments over there has a good one:
I don’t know how to thank you for that link.
It totally fucked-up my lap-top.
for some inexplicable reason,
some words seem to offend.
you’ll get a reaction if you shout … COCK
you won’t get if you shout …..HEN
some folks object to ‘hell’ & ‘damn’
but those don’t trip my trigger,
i’m upset by other obscenities
like ‘slut’, ‘jap’ and ‘nigger.’
so what are really ‘filthy words’?
are yours the same as mine?
speak most any word emphatically
and note the scowls you’ll find.
ooooooooooooooooh, Suzanne, i love you.
Seriously, a reference to Burne-Jones? Fucking awesome! And I did not have to look it up.
Peterr, thank you for linking that piece. I saw it when TRex wrote it, but didn’t copy it down. I have been kicking myself ever since, because I couldn’t find it.
Excellent piece – very pithy advice
