The DS is the devil device. Not causing so many problems of late. The PS2 is a gaming console that hooks up to the tv. Mac never used it as much, but one less electronic thing in the house is better. Plus selling it will get him out of debt to me.

Book: He could hurry... a little.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My kumquat balls are chock full of buttery goodness!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
There's a lotta kumquats in here.
I like "scheisse." I should try to use that more often. You can put a lot of rage and venom into "scheisse."

Then you run into German speakers who give you the evil eye. I used to say "Oh, bugger" a lot and got looks of "Oh, how quaint!" Then I got a supervisor who spent a lot of time in England, and her look was one of "WTF!!!" I apologized quickly and everyone else went "What? What?"
edit: I wonder what British visitors make of the giant sign by the freeway advertising "SOD!"

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
You BUTTER them?! Heathen.
(Actually, kumquats are rather salty. Which, you know, works.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
We used to conjugate irregular German verbs under our breath as a substitute for cussin' in high school. "We" being nerds who took German, in this case.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Totally. But really? Her heart shatters? That just makes me want to see that. I have taken similar requests from people who just said "Could you not do that? I hate it." But when I do, I'm either 1. not thinking of god at all. 2. thinking about Mark Twain's quote that cursing is the best prayer ever, cause it's so sincere. But if I say "Jesus!" I'm usually not thinking of The Big J.C. He's not Lurch...he's not going to get confused.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In a past job, we sometimes used donors' names as curses. "What in the B-----???" It was funny, until I actually met Mrs. B.

When I was in college, for a while we adopted "Pope" as a swear word.
"Pope you, motherpoper!"

My mother used "Ayatollah Khomeni" as a swear word when I was a girl. It does have a ring to it, but is now sadly outdated (he died.)
