This site has a live twitter feed of people swearing tweets, and you can also look yourself up to see where you rank of the Swear-O-Meter. Thanks, Meech! (cursebird)

You know how I poo at work? I used to be timid, but not anymore. I hop on the intercom, loudly announce that I'm off to make a dook, and sometimes, just sometimes, I'll crap right in the goddam hallway to show how much I don't care.

I've pooped on someone's desk before in the middle of a conference call. I WILL NO LONGER BE SLAVE NOR AFRAID OF MY BODILY FUNCTIONS. VIVA LA CACA!

Wait, Seth Rogen is playing the Green Hornet? Aw, fuck me.

Ever since Monty Python, I cannot read the title A Tale of Two Cities without hearing it in my brain as The Sale of Two Titties. I'm sure, then, that I would be disappointed in the book.

Posted by: slower lower at July 9, 2009 1:25 PM

Alright, so according to Cursebird, I'm 696th worldwide, and I swear like a George Carlin Wannabe. NOT FUCKING GOOD ENOUGH, PEOPLE! I won't stop until I'm the reigning swear king of Twitter! Although Rob Romoni still holds the title of reigning regular king of Twitter. There really is no beating him.

Posted by: Jeremy Feist at July 9, 2009 1:26 PM

I check There I Fixed It everyday, just like I Can Haz Cheeseburger.

If the commencement speech at my college graduation had been anything like that, I probably wouldn't have fallen asleep. All I remember is an old, old man talking about fiscal responsibility.

Skitz, you're so full of shit.

Posted by: Cindy at July 9, 2009 1:46 PM

I knew as soon as I saw that flailing jackass in the MVP trailer that that's what they were talking about. So stupid-funny.

Posted by: Snath at July 9, 2009 1:48 PM

I'm really surprised that list of novels includes The Road, as that book is staggeringly emotional and brilliantly written. Just saying.

Posted by: ChristianH at July 9, 2009 1:48 PM

I’d take her over Brainwash Holmes and Wooden McStick Up Her Ass Paltrow

At least they're kinda nice to look at and have some acting talent.

I did enjoy "White Noise" but that's the only title there that I took up someone's recommendation on.


"The Right Stuff" is #3...and a TV show is the #1 movie?!?!?!?

Oh wait, it's Screen Rant. Figures.

Posted by: Jay at July 9, 2009 1:53 PM

Hmmm....James Franco can open his eyes?

Posted by: Nimue at July 9, 2009 1:56 PM

Delurking just to say this: the word "dook" is inexplicably funny to me. I must use it in a sentence today.

Aw, Stacey...no Twilight tattoos?

Whorish Mouth: You are so very helpful.

I Love You, Beth Cooper has a 0% at Rotten Tomatoes with around 10 reviews.

I thought the book read pretty well around these here Pajiba parts. Wonder what the hell happened.

Posted by: twig at July 9, 2009 2:21 PM

I don't care if it exposes just how immature I really am, "VIVA LA CACA!" is the funniest damn thing I've read all day. My mascara is no longer attached to my eyelashes. It's on my cheeks.

Posted by: Kolby at July 9, 2009 2:23 PM

I work from home now, thank Godtopus, but when my office actually required us to come into the office, pooping generally went like this:

1. Find my favorite stall.
2. Put layers of toilet paper on the seat.
3. Sit down and do my duty.
4. Someone sits down in the stall next to me, and starts talking to a CLIENT on their CELLPHONE.
5. I start making groaning noises followed by raspberries, and throwing things into the pot to make the loudest splooshing noises I can, followed by repeated flushings, hoping for an overflow situation.
6. Run like hell out of the restroom and try to look like I was never in there.

Posted by: BWeaves at July 9, 2009 2:27 PM

I think Brooke Hogan and Heidi Montang should be locked in a room and made to fight to the death. We'd get rid of at least one of them, possibly both depending on how bad the injuries are. And that can only make the world a better place.

Posted by: Jeni at July 9, 2009 2:30 PM

Aw, Stacey...no Twilight tattoos?

Whorish Mouth: I loved that. I've been taking the same steps for ages.

Posted by: figgy at July 9, 2009 2:30 PM

ChristianH - I tried, man, but that book? Fucking sucked.

Also, I agree with The Corrections (sucked) and 100 Years of Solitude (sucked). I haven't read any of the rest, and thank god I've been warned.

There is a certain breed of author - intellectual, professorial, whatever. They're douchebags. They forget that I have to give a shit about the characters, and something has to actually HAPPEN.

Mystery solved.

You owe me two dollars.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at July 9, 2009 2:40 PM

I wonder if the hate for "One Hundred Years" comes from the translation. I don't know how anyone could read it outside of the original spanish, and understand the beauty of the prose and the slang. It's also a deeply latin-american book, and I don't know if you can really connect to it unless you've seen the kind of towns he describes or met that sort of people. I love that book, and I hate that so many people don't.

And how the fuck can you not like "The Corrections"? And "A Tale of Two Cities", which is the best of Dickens?

I'm sorry but I just lost all of my respect for that site. I'm sure it hurts. Jeebus. That is so beyond wrong.

Posted by: figgy at July 9, 2009 2:43 PM

See...there's one thing Whorish Mouth didn't account for. Sure, you go into all that planning and execution. you get to your stall, and you're ready to go.

You sit down...

And the fucking seat is WAAAAAARRRRRRMMMMMM.

There is no thing on earth more uncomfortable than a lukewarm toilet seat that you've just sat on. I hate knowing that I am mere seconds behind someone who may have just birth to the fucking Golgothan. Their poo particles still floating fresh in the air. That dry potatoe-chip fart smell suddenly creeping into your nostrils because you couldn't detect the mentos freshness until you'd already committed. Bathrooms need a fucking failsafe. EXPECIALLY the ones at work.

I've got it!!! Mood toilets!!!! The seat changes from black (cold) to some other color when someone sits on it. That way, if the seat's some chameleon mixture of colors not seen since the most recent Import Tuner Car Show, you have time to abort! I'm a genius! I knew the autobot/decepticon decals from my old tranformers toys would provide inspiration some day!

Since when has Katie Holmes ever acted?

My Traumatic Poopin-at-the-office story:
Picure it: A small office of a dozen or so people, a day like any other. I go to the loo, everything goes as planned, until the flush. At which point the toilet clogs up. To be fair, it was probably already clogged before I even got there and I just hadn't noticed. It was famous for sneaky-bastard clogs on nothing more than paper. Anywhoodle, after some protracted swearing, I begin to plunge.
Carefully.
20 minutes and one blister on my hand later, I had produced a bowlful of frothy chunky brown nuclear waste. The level of the bowl had gone down some so I prayed to Godtupus, and flushed. Bad move. I cursed Godtupus and all of his lesser deities as the bowl overflowed and began to pool across the floor. I waded in and shut off the water, then used the entire contents of the paper towel dispenser, plus all of the spare packages, to fashion a soggy brownish dam to prevent the sewage from going under the bathroom door and saturating the hallway carpet. The toilet then spontaneously unclogs itself, leaving me standing surrounded by over a gallon of shit-water. Fucker. I then had to do a walk of shame to the boss to give him the news. His response was "That is tragic."
Lots of mopping and some weeping later, I had it cleaned up, but the story spread throughout the land.
Mockery ensued.

I think smell a comment diversion...or is that your overflowing toilet?
HA!

Posted by: Whorish Mouth at July 9, 2009 3:31 PM

Worst toilet clogging story would have to be at the house I rented before my wife and I moved on to our own apartment.

My mother-in-law came over for some reason, and had to use the bathroom. Unbeknownst to her or anyone else, our roommate had clogged it and then not said anything, because she used to get shit for it all the time and didn't want to fess up. She was hoping if no one used it for a while the TP would get soggified and would break up on its own.

Our bathroom as directly above the laundry/game room area of our basement, and I was down there getting my laundry together after having just washed it. Right after my MIL flushed, I hear cursing coming from above, followed by a torrential downpour of shit water. It was flowing right through the flooring of our fucking house, directly onto my pile of clean clothes.

It was so fucking disgusting, but at least I can laugh about it now, because we made the roommate clean it up. Naturally.

Posted by: Snath at July 9, 2009 3:32 PM

The best bathroom story I've ever read is the 'turd story' from "Me Talk Pretty One Day". It makes me howl laughter every single time.

Ranked: 836,230th worldwide

...and one of those swears? was actually my sister's.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at July 9, 2009 7:18 PM

I will go out on a limb here and say I've always kinda had a soft (or rather, a hard) spot for Cameron Diaz. At least she looks like she'd fuck back. Unlike Gwynneth, who would probably just lie there and demand you keep telling her how pretty she is. Don't get me wrong, I'd still 'chuck one in her'. But it would probably just get older faster.

Posted by: Odnon at July 9, 2009 8:55 PM

You know, I sent this as a comment diversion to Dustin like forever ago.

Back in the day, I worked in a small IT department. My boss had hired on a new guy who seemed not to have the foggiest idea of what he was doing, nor what he was supposed to do. And he certainly didn't seem to be trying to do much. Case in point, the day I walked in on him in the bathroom. We had a small, co-ed employee bathroom behind a row of cubicles. I can't imagine why he failed to lock the door, but he did - and I was the lucky one to burst in on him. There he sat, pants around his ankles, newspaper in hand - seemingly nonplussed by my appearance. I made some sort of gasp/scream sound and turned and ran out as fast as I could. I ran all the way out of the building and had to compose myself. The dude, who didn't last long anyway, was the butt (pun intended) of many jokes. He later became known in company history as "Shit Man".

Posted by: Cindy at July 9, 2009 9:58 PM

Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore are both poison for me. I see that they're in a movie, and I instantly don't want to see it. Barrymore had Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, but she was barely in it, and her part was in no way difficult. Other than that, fuck her.

Beyond that, Treena, your criticism is one that gets thrown around a lot in the literary world, and understandably so. The public's patience for the written word has waned so much that even I, as an English major who has to read so many "classic works of literature" have a bitch of a time getting through most of it. It all depends on taste and, to a certain extent (and I mean no disrespect), education. Those not educated thoroughly in the depths of different literary techniques are likely not going to like the books listed on that site. I think The Road can withstand this problem simply because it's so fucking depressing that despite his complex experimentations with the language you can still grasp the emotion. But that's just my opinion, and there's definitely an argument to be made that the medium literature is too academic to sustain itself in the long term, as sad as that is for me to say (did I mention I'm an English major?).

Posted by: ChristianH at July 9, 2009 11:56 PM

Would it be terrible of me if I said that I hate it when you're using a public bathroom and someone plonks down in the stall right next to you and proceeds to do their business and it's NOT PRETTY?

I mean like you want to ask "are you ok?" and you don't even know who it is. It's that bad. Groaning, hissing, panting, INTERNAL intestinal noises loud enough for you to hear, and then everything else that goes without saying. Like someone's fucking DYING in the next stall. I've gagged before just from the smell, nevermind the sound effects.

Also, to my girlfriends and co-workers, I love your asses to death, but please don't break the Zone. When I go into the stall and start pissing and you do the same, we're not talking until we're both done, k? Smooches!

Posted by: Snuggiepants the Deathbringer at July 9, 2009 11:57 PM

I'm an English teacher. English degree, then a master's degree. Consider myself very well-read. I didn't like The Road at all. I found myself counting the pages until I was done. Once I was done, I was relieved. Yes, I could appreciate what he was doing, but at the same time, I think the criticism on the website linked above is very much on the mark.

Posted by: Snuggiepants the Deathbringer at July 10, 2009 12:02 AM

Snuggie,

*clap clap clap*

"The Road" is bore-ing.

Posted by: , (the commenter formerly known as bucdaddy) at July 10, 2009 1:26 AM

Oh, and I did my best to slog through DeLillo too ("Underworld") and finally ahd to quit to put myself out of my misery.

Posted by: , (the commenter formerly known as bucdaddy) at July 10, 2009 1:32 AM

I can't understand how anybody can hate One Hundred Years of Solitude either figgy. ANd I even read it in English. But then again, I do live in the Philippines, which is in Asia, not in LAtin America but we under Spanish rule for like hundreds of years too. Oh, and we also have water in plastic bags. Definitely not for the tourists.

Posted by: caragwapa at July 10, 2009 3:17 AM

What is all this shit about novels you should pass on?????

I've read and thoroughly enjoyed the following:
One Hundred Years of Solitude
The Road
On the Road
The Corrections

Fuck you the second pass. Shove those novels up your ass.

Posted by: missh at July 10, 2009 6:26 AM

Snuggie, I absolutely hate that! Don't talk to me while you're peeing, or while I'm peeing either. If it was my friends, I wouldn't care so much, but co-worker, that's a line, dude, don't cross it.
Also...if there are more than 2 stalls in the bathroom and you can help it, do me a favor and don't choose the one right next to me! Follow the same rules guys do at the urinals. Every other one.

Posted by: Whorish Mouth at July 10, 2009 7:30 AM

Yeah, that list is bullshit. On The Road isn't for me, but the mind reels at being told to dispense with The Corrections, One Hundred Years of Solitude and The Road - brilliant books one and all.

Posted by: Caspar at July 10, 2009 8:01 AM

I loved On the Road and The Road, and I've had many of my students (urban high school kids) enjoy those books too. Creating a top ten list is always dependent on someone's taste.
