Gorth Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 On the subject of *ahem* romance, my main trouble at the moment is that at least three women have expressed a keen interest recently, but IMO they're far too mad. Evidence 1: they are keen on me. Become a Mormon and marry all three. Problem solved “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Nepenthe Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) Well 'too many' can be a lot. Do something enough and it loses all appeal, no ? I dimly recall this not being the case. On the subject of *ahem* romance, my main trouble at the moment is that at least three women have expressed a keen interest recently, but IMO they're far too mad. Evidence 1: they are keen on me. While I have a somewhat larger ego, as in I don't believe an interest in me to be symptomatic of insanity, unfortunately the young ladies who have recently professed an interest towards me are, indeed, barking mad. Maybe he's f***ed too many people and got bored with it? Oh you feminist-brainwashed misguided fools. You don't get bored from ****ing many people. You get bored from ****ing the one and the same. I'm pretty sure plenty of feminists would agree with you. No, they would say that I'm a male chauvinist pig, and their right to choose and keep choosing is completely irrelevant to the subject.

Gromnir Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I really don't know how one would go about cheering the f*** up. I'm always quite cheery when I'm f***ing, so I've never thought to ask. Maybe you're f***ing the wrong people? am gonna admit that there has been a handful o' times we were not particular cheerful while f***ing. wrong person. wrong situation. just plain wrong.am hardly proud or happy to recollect, but not every ****ing encounter has been devoid o' immediate or future regret. perhaps if Gromnir drank alcohol it would reduce the immediate regret factor we has suffered infrequent. such situations has been few, but they has been noteworthy. also, am to think that the real challenge is to be genuine cheerful when you personal f***ed up. am conversely jealous of, and angered by, peoples who can makes a mess o' things and move forward blissful and w/o any o' that maudlin self-recrimination we typical indulge in for some indeterminate period o' time. 'pon reflection, the Gromnir f***ed up events and the cheerless f***ing moments frequently occur sequential for us. yet another reason to take up drinking... or not. HA! Good Fun!

Wals... you live in a nation that was ruled by a syphilitic King who managed to produce at least 20 bastards, had a best friend who wrote homo-erotic and regular erotic poetry, and had women throwing themselves at him even as his previous mistresses were dying from what they contracted in his bed... oh, and he screwed two mistresses on his wedding night. I don't think that having three women interested in a slightly grumbly old fuddy duddy is evidence of insanity. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

Gromnir Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) profanity is most frequent a convenient conversational shorthand for the uneducated and the unimaginative. some urban-dwelling baboon with an internet connection and a driver's license finds himself unable to hurl fecal matter at fellow apes due to entrenched social mores or the threat o' criminal prosecution... so instead resorts to throwing the verbal equivalent. certain stressful situations may reduce the more advanced primate to krez-like status, which is why profanity is so common 'mongst cops and soldiers. similarly, alcohol and drugs numb the brain so that profanity leaks forth like verbal diarrhea. if one gets the opportunity, listen to a group o' sloshed irish litigators in a bar... is amusing. regardless, even when profanity is appropriate given the circumstances, (e.g bob gets pushed off a 30-story building and yells, "Oh, f***!") it is still little more than a crutch. that being said, am recalling a lady o' ill repute we had the misfortune o' interviewing once. although her hygiene were more than a little suspect, her profanity filled verbal acrobatics were as overwhelming as were her breath and body odor. some o' her more colorful curses has left permanent stains on our memory... were genuine awe-inspiring. uneducated she may have been, but there were no doubting her creativity. felt a near uncontrollable urge to applaud once she ran out o' steam. HA! Good Fun! ps keep in mind that we ain't saying that there is something wrong with using profanity. while we feel little urge to indulge, is not as if profanity use makes a person bad. sure, it does show lack o' creativity, and it ain't near as commonplace or as acceptable as krez suggests, but is nothing immoral 'bout profanity... 'least not as far as Gromnir is concerned.

Nepenthe Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I dunno, I think it depends partly on the language (and culture, of course). Swearing in Finnish, all those lovely rolling Rs... very therapeutical and soothing. And as anyone who's seen the first Matrix sequel (y'know, the one where you still thought they could salvage it with a good third installment?) knows, swearing is French is like wiping your ass with silk...

Malcador Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Hm, they swear a bit much at my office, usually when complaining about a client or something. Does seem a bit off putting to me not marking them as stupid or low class really, but just something about it seems wrong to me, heh. I've decided to cut down on my swearing as a result, working quite well at least if I use "fark" as a substitute Why has elegance found so little following?
