Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Again I say: Holy shit. Dag.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Aw, now, it upsets her! You don't wanna give us atheists/heathens/pagans a bad reputation of being heartless and liking to stamp on the delicate hearts of the faithful, now, do you? I've tried to find substitutes for "Jesus Christ!" and "God (etc.)" because I really don't want to upset anyone. Offend, sure, but some people are genuinely upset, and that just about shatters my heart, to think I caused such pain. *ahem* May I suggest "Zeus!"? His name has a similar sound, and is short enough to be an effective expletive, and those I've encountered who claim Zeus as their deity don't seem to give a shit if someone swears by him.

Really, I've never understood why, all things considered, "Judas Iscariot" never caught on as a swear word. It's got a nice rhythm, especially if you draw it out.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I know it is really obnoxious to ask this-- but can I please have an A?
Hey, if you don't ask, you don't get!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Being someone that doesn't swear much -- I get that people don't want to hear things. But If you can't just ask, but have to make a production over it then I tend to lose sympathy.
I like Zeus. -- Of course , Frak has become my word of choice

Because books.
can I have an A because I do, in fact, know the information, and I showed up every day, and participated, plus, I am pretty damn cool.
That's the best laugh I've had all week.

Our wings are not tired.
Brenda, it sounds like an honest email asking a favor. A pain in the ass request, sure, but she asked really nicely it seems? I don't know the backstory though - maybe she's really a jerk-off?
In any case, I love the idea of switching to "motherfucker" instead. You know, out of respect.

This really seems the best and most courteous course of action.

I find that a heartfelt "Blessed Mother!" works well in Utah workplaces. It satisfies the pagan in me and makes everyone around me think I'm Catholic, which is recognizably--and currently acceptably--other so that they don't bother me with church talk.
I have great sympathy, though, for the guy on the other side of the cubicle wall who will let out a strangled "motherfucker!" when he's dealing with frustrating customers.
