Words are all we have, really. We have thoughts but thoughts are fluid.

some of those words got on the list, like CockSucker and

other 4-letter Anglo-Saxon words are Piss and Cunt, which go

Piss and Cunt are on the list is because a long time ago, there were

don't mind Fuck and Shit but 'P' and 'C' are out.", which led to such

accedental humor, I don't wanna get into that now because I think

a great sentence. I wish I knew who said it first. I agree with that but
! R8 r+ X4 j0 `+ s5 cI like to take it a step further. I'd like to substitute the word Fuck for

So maybe next year I'll have a whole fuckin' ramp on the N word.

clinically. You cannot weave them in on the panel with Doc, and Ed,- E9 S0 O0 L, G: ?
