I like the use of ratio. My first thought was the fuckers out numbered the cocksuckers.

That all depends on where you hang out, I guess.

Yeah, well, the fucking cocksuckers canceled it.

Wait, I thought a new season was starting soon.

can't trust anything that clocks fucks per minute

Yeah, but that's it. HBO won't officially announce it, but the actors contracts have run out and they've dismantled and destroyed the sets.

season three will start shortly, but it won't be back for season four. since season three was already in the can when HBO dropped the ax, don't expect a proper series finale.

off-topic: Just seeing the word "impressive" there all by itself triggered something and now I'll be damned if I can remember this, and it's driving me nuts.

What video game is it where someone keeps saying 'impressive' if you execute a good combo or destroy a lot of enemies quickly as you move through the levels? It's from the early 90s, maybe. Can't remember what system...Nintendo probably. Is it a Star Wars game? It's a deep voice, and sounds almost tinny. Just the word "impressive", over and over.

Somebody? Anybody? Bueller?

i know i know the answer, iconomy, it just refuses to surface right now.

I remember hearing that Deadwood was cancelled at the end of the last season, so I was surprised to see them advertising a new season.
I was giving it a chance at first but by the end I was completely sucked in.

I liked Rome, too.
I should really cancel the cable.
Anyday now.

I recall Carmageddon saying "Impressive!" if you killed a lot of pedestrians in one go. Maybe it was Carmageddon 2.

I think it's definitely a Star Wars game, and the voice saying 'impressive!' is Darth Vader. I can almost hear the light sabres...

I've only started watching season 1 of Deadwood this week (Best Buy had a sale on seasons 1 and 2 on DVD if you bought them together).

I'm surprised that the FPM shoots up so much in Season 2--there is a hell of a fucking lot of foul language in season 1 already. (The woman who plays Calamity Jane is, in particular, quite masterful when it comes to hurling obscenities.)

I measure everything in fucks per minute. It's my fucking yardstick.

I used to go to trivia night at this bar and me and my friends were pretty into it, at least in the sense that we really cared about winning before the fourth beer. One time there was a new team next to our table and in the grand tradition of triva night shit talking I kept calling them fuckers and yelling that they were cheating, like "Fucking hell, these fuckers have a 26 volume set of the encyclopedia under the table, how lumpy does a coat have to be before someone gets frisked in this dive? Can we get a fucking flag on these fuckers?"

Anyway, one of them took my jovial bonhomie as an insult and wanted very badly to fight me, I didn't want to fight him, because:

A) I hate fighting.*
*Yet I love shittalking, irony abounds.

b) I was happy drunk, not fighty drunk.

c) Fighting at trivia night smells of taking things way too seriously.

So I bought him and his friends a drink and explained that it is traditional to shit talk on trivia night and that, to me, fuckers is a compliment. I wish more people would call me a fucker.

It was generally speaking a brilliant piece of diplomacy, except for one little thing. I forgot the guys name instantly and started calling him "Chief" or "Boss" all night and he got really steamed with me again. At the end of the night I was reeling drunk and outside with everybody, smoking and the kid punched me in the belly. I didn't really even notice, I thought maybe someone had stumbled into me or something. My friend said "Hey, that guy just hit you. We fightin'?"

So I yelled at the kid "Hey fucker you just punch me?"

He was walking away. I never got an answer. I liked that kid, he had moxie.
