My aunt and uncle lived in Ireland for a few years. They said the cuss words we use are used as normal accepted language there. The only word that is truly taboo is the c-word.

Well, up here, we spell that 10-letter word with a 'K' and it refers to the governor ...

That's funny. I stayed with a family I knew from church near London, and I said 'hell' a couple times and almost got kicked out. I can't remember what cuss word they were throwing around, but I was surprised at them balking at 'hell'.
Can't imagine if I would have said "bloody hell".

As long as no one else between you and 100 posts anymore...
I don't think I'll ever move above #9. Everyone above me is still pretty active and has at least 1000 posts more than me. That's fine with me. Moving up on the post count board has never been a goal.

What the hell's the matter with you, slacker? You have a goal in sight - so get there! You know you want to! All you have to do is swallow your pride and make an inane comment on every bit of bullshit you see. You know; like Kohler ...

I've met 8 from the '07 list and 10 from the current one. And my status will continue to slip, I think, as the time window during which I can access this site has shrunk dramatically. I'm not working substantially higher hours than I was in grad school, but during grad school my experiments were riddled with lots of 5- and 10-minute periods of down time that were too short to use for really productive work, but were just right for reading and responding to threads on here.

This.^^^^^^^^^^^ When I'm not in the real world I like to come down and talk.
I speak to the pod-people from time to time too. 01745 is my favorite number.

Wait... You think your time here is unproductive? Totally wrong attitude.
Your avatar. It doesn't resemble you in the least. I was disappointed.
If I were a lot more inebriated I might be inclined to change your avatar to an image more appropriate. Something involving ponies and phalluses I think might be best to represent you properly.
