Words like "fuck" and "shit" sometimes appear on the front page.

Holy fucking shit, you guys are killing me today!

And, quonsar, this:

everytime someone says something nice about me, my penis shrinks an inch.

had me breaking into spontaneous laughter all night long last night. I'm not sure I'm allowed to ride MUNI unchaperoned for the next week.

This is like recess. The good part of recess where we can all go behind the wall so Mr. Greenspan can't see us. And we can show off what's under our pants (underpants) or our underpants (more underpants?) and maybe hold buttercups under our chins or draw things in the dirt.

MILK, MILK, LEMONADE.
'ROUND THE CORNER, FUDGE IS MADE.

Wow, in all caps, it sounds like God.

STICK YOUR FINGER IN THE HOLE,
NOW YOU'VE GOT A TOOTSIE ROLL.

I think George Carlin summed it up best when he said "Fuck the children."

Won't somebody please think about the former children?

Buttercups and underpants. Great references. This is to say nothing of Miss Lucy, her naughty little tugboat and all those 'almost swears'.

On preview: I think this might be my favorite MeCha day so far.

I want to know about the naughty little tugboat. Sounds exciting.

It is a tremendous mecha day.

I always wonder how the guys who press the beep button on TV programmes work out when to press it. "Shit" and "Fuck" are pretty straight forward, but what about "Twunt" - it's neither "Twat" or "Cunt" and yet it's undeniably filthy. I wouldn't want to be in the beep guy's shoes when someone says that.

I can't believe you just used that word here. "Twunt"* is so offensive.

*Let the record reflect the quotes around this vile word. Said quotes refer the word back to its original user and wash my hands clean of the matter. Ha!

The tugboat was naughty because it went to Hell, but we were left to figure out why on our own.

The 'Miss Lucy' song was one we sang either double dutching, clapping (like 'Say, Say, Oh Playmate!') or clapping upsidedown on the jungle gym. If it was performed on the jungle gym it, always drew a lot of attention from the girls because it looked cool and from the boys because, well, hanging upside down in a dress meant they got to see some underpants. Plus you got to swear in front of the adults, but claim you weren't really.

Now that I think about it, Miss Lucy wasn't exactly the picture of innocence herself.

Miss Lucy had a tugboat.
The tugboat had a bell.
Miss Lucy went to heaven.
The tugboat went to

Hello, Operator,
Please give me number nine.
And if you disconnect me
I'll kick you in the

Behind the refrigerator
There was a piece of glass.
Miss Lucy sat upon it
And it went right up her

Ask me no more questions.
I'll tell you no more lies.
The boys are in the bathroom
Pulling up their

Flies are in the country.
Bees are in the park.
Miss Lucy and her boyfriend are
Kissing in the d-a-r-k, d-a-r-k, d-a-r-k,
Dark, dark, dark.

QUONSAR IS A FUZZY WIDDLE BALL OF WUV AND EVERYTHING NICE INCLUDING SPACE PANTS, COOKIE PASTE AND PERT NIPPLES.

ALSO, TODAY IS THE DAY I WILL NOT TURN OFF MY CAPSLOCK. TOUCH MY CAPSLOCK AND I'LL SOLDER YOUR TITS.

*wipes tears from eyes and catches breath*

I love you all, no, really....

posted by Frisbee Girl 06 July | 15:21

loquacious, the very mention of tit-soldering makes me... glad I'm wearing two pairs of underpants?

I want to touch your capslock, again and again, and again, mmmm, uhh, three pairs of underpants? Talk about pert nipples. Whew.

posted by Hugh Janus 06 July | 15:28

But the space pants...the space pants are all mine.

Frisbee Girl -- you ride mountain uni???

I'm a roadster, myself

posted by dreamsign 06 July | 20:19

We have a mountain unicyclist amongst us?

As someone who has been known to skateboard down dirt hills on a regular old skateboard, before this 'mountain boarding' thing came along with it's armor and suspension and sissy crap, I would just like to say:

You folks are totally fuckin' nuts. I salute you with my many scars and contusions, including the heinous and infamous swell-bow of '94 and my thrice-broken collarbone.

Oh how I hate to disappoint! MUNI = San Francisco public transportation. I used to live across the street from SFGH's Psych Ward and you knew it would be a long ride when the chaperones boarded the busses with their charges.

posted by Frisbee Girl 06 July | 20:54

And, loquacious, three times? The first two weren't enough or what?

posted by Frisbee Girl 06 July | 20:56

And we can show off what's under our pants (underpants) or our underpants (more underpants?)

Beyond the underpants is more underpants, and the Lord underpants those who underpants themselves...

Awwww. Well, understandable mistake. Kind of went with the frisbee theme, I thought.

MUni.
