Or if you want to find somebody else that's better, go ahead

Something that, strangely now that I think about it, has never happened to me today, and twice no less. Today on completely separate occasions two men have cursed and then pardoned themselves because "there's a lady around." Now, I don't really mind swearing-- I'm quite prone to it depending on the situation and the company-- but I just found it funny, and now I find it sort of sad that you never see the same thing anymore with young people. Yes, I sound old, but I'm allowed to point out the discrepancies between my generation and those older, aren't I? That's what my cynical generation is all about: pointing out bullshit.

But getting back to the point, you never see-- or rather, hear-- that with anyone of the young generation. We swear liberally and quite casually, and we'll be fucked if we give a shit who hears it. I'd just once like to meet a guy under 25 who'd do the same as I heard today.

(And that usage of cursing was to make a point, in case you aren't too quick off the draw.)


"Shit I need a boyfriend."
"Shit... me too."
"Fuck, let's go get some!"
"Just go pick some up at the grocery store. What aisle do they keep them in again?"
"Uh, I believe it was 5b. Next to the ice cream. Gotta buy 'em hard."
"...That is both hilarious and disgusting."
"That is the point."
"That's what boys are."

"So blatantly obvious songs about sexing up someone make me laugh and think, 'Oh you. You're not getting laid!'"

"If a guy had a rack like mine, I'd say that fucker needs surgery and or hormone therapy."

"When I'm rich and famous I'm going to open a club in the city called Club Epic and we'll play Cobra Starship to dance to."
"Awesome! Will you host live bands?"
"Do you know me at all?"
"Sweet. 'Club Epic presents My Vagina Spaceship featuring I Look Good In Eyeliner.'"

"Do... do you have a vagina?"

"Someone needs strippers!"

Um, hi. I came across your blog while commenting on Shawn's, and thought I'd let you know that you are a rather amusing person. And yes, I am aware this is unexpected and possibly a tad creepy. And that you should check out this forum:
http://www.mookychick.co.uk/messageboard.php
because its something you'd make an interesting addition to. This isn't spam, by the way, though it's reading like it a little bit. I go under the name AWOL, if you're interested in chatting.
