Brain = oatmeal

I've been experimenting with new expletives for daily use, and I think I've finally settled on the following: "Oh, bugnuts."

The preceding has been an object lesson in the reasons why the desire to post should not outweigh the need for intelligible content. Please, carry on, as you were.

*grin* Incoherant cursing and phrasing can be fun. That and quoting Colonel Sherman T. Potter from MASH is always good. ;)

*laugh* Oh, man, must start watching the show again. And taking notes.

What were some of the runners-up? :-)

Actually, they were mostly close variants of each other. Number two was "bugbutter," which has the advantage of an included obscure Calvin and Hobbes reference. But "bugnuts" wins for being not only more compact and more similar to my old standby ("Oh, booger."), but also has some obscene connotations, but incredibly is almost impossible to get mad at. A true win-win-win situation.

I experimented with mixing metaphors as a new year's resolution (don't ask why) and the most-used metaphor is ". .. like flies on rice." ("like flies on shit" crossed with "like white on rice." It works. My coworkers have proof now that I'm insane.

Hi, we're strangers. I can't sleep so I'm surfing my friends of friends. :)

Hi, stranger! *waves, laughs* Mixing metaphors effectively is much harder than it looks. I've only ever managed one good one: "Does the Pope s--- in the woods?" (For some reason, typing that one out makes me want to take a bath, hence the momentary censorship. Shan't happen again.)

Good enough for me. I've added you, if you don't mind. *grin*

If this post is the object, I totally disagree. The title alone makes it so worthwhile.

"bugnuts"--Reminds me of my manager at the aquarium store, who did her Master's degree work on moth sperm. When asked how one obtains sperm from moths (with fish you just squeeeeeeeeze it out), she replied that they were euthanized and dissected for it.

Aren't you glad I share these things with you?

Oh, well, um. Yes. I..... Whoa. Look at the time.... *flees*

Everyonce in awhile I use "bugfuck".

[slipjig.livejournal.com]

A genuine classic, that.

Hm. I'm wondering if there's something about repeated short "u" sounds that makes cussing more amusing. After three years, I still find "fucknuggets" enchanting.
