I picked up a book from the library, and once I’d finally finished all the HP (up until the 6th book - can’t get the 7th yet), sat down to read something a little more adult. A little fucking TOO adult for some people I guess.
Some christian jackass had crossed out all the words he found objectionable. Now I’m not just making the assumption he’s a Christian. Plenty of people seem to be in moral overload these days. But no, it was the the words censored that gave’im away. All the fucks and shits remained unmolested. The words obscured were “Goddamn”, and also instances where “Jesus” and “Christ” were used as exclamations.
And even though I pretty much know which words are underneath those childish scribbles, it totally interrupts the flow of my reading to have to stop and think “Oh yeah… goddamn”
And to deface a book like that! Come ON you asshole, you don’t like the words don’t read them. (this person obviously DID read the entire book. But why, if its so offensive) But don’t ruin the reading experience for other people.
Goddammit!
I haven’t decided if I’m going to finish the book or not. Every time I come across one of those scribbles, its like fingernails on a chalk board. So probably not.
But to make up for the censored words, here are a few more goddamns:
Goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn.

gawd.
Its possible I went a little overboard with the goddamns. But I hate censorship. HATE defacing books. I mean GAH… books’re holy. Even the ones with the swear words. Even the ones with porn!
Especially the ones with porn!
And I forgot to mention that the censor underlined one phrase in the entire book. Wanna know what that was?
Freddy Fender. Wasted Days and Wasted Nights.
goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn that’s fucked up.
in. deed.
Goddamn those christian bastards!
Well I think Mojo has officially put us over the limit for allotted lifetime usage of the word “goddamn”, so we won’t be seeing it anymore here at SP. We’ll have to replace it with something else. Any suggestions?
tittyfuckjesushell?
well tittyfuckjesushell!
Just dropping by to say hi!
Seems I have carpel tunnel, tennis elbow and possibly arthritis (wrist, elbow and neck)!
RtheP thanks for dropping by my blog and saying what you said. It is appreciated.
You guys are all on my mind but I’ve gotta rest my body for a time…
S
seems cumbersome. if we’re short on time, can we just say “belgium”?
Oh Shelley! That’s awful for a writergirl! You have to get you one of those voice activated writing programs so you can continue to write, but rest your hands!
Well tittyfuckjesushell, Shelley, I sure do hope you get to feeling better. I miss you, but please do take care of yourself, and I’ll send health vibes your way. Love!
I’ll send health vibes your way too!
I don’t know if that will do anything really, but I’ll send them.
Che’s will definitely help though.
Yeah, voice activated. Good idea actually. I used to have one of those. Problem being, it was British, and didn’t understand my southern accent.
We need another post Richard. Are you gonna do it, or shall I?
And if you say tittyfuckjesushell really fast, it sounds like tifflejel. Perhaps tifflegel is the new swear word around here.
I used to have one too, and all it ever said was “I heard switch to free cell.”
Damn it! I NEVER, EVER instructed it to switch to free cell. I had to just stop using it.
You may do the honors. I can post one tomorrow night. I’m all brain fried tonight because after I got off work, I taught a class again!
I missed teaching.
Well alright then. Though its stormin’ here, so it may not get posted till late. What to write about… what to write about… any ideas?
Um. I was talking about voice activated programs in that post.
See? Tired.
It was supposed to be cool and low humidity today, and it wasn’t. Had to trek across Manhattan in a suit. That was no fun.
Hmm.
What to write about?
Titty fucking Jesus in Hell?
Titty is just such a strange word.
We used to say “Titty-baby” when someone was being a “momma’s boy” or even a “momma’s girl”. Mojo never ever used that word where he came from.
he also never used the term “booger snatcher” for an infant nasal aspirator.
They were so high cotton where he growed up.
Che, don’t get struck by lightning and lose your computer just to post!
That Mojo - so high-falutin’.
I was thinking I might post some of my grandma’s recipes. I wonder if she has a blender recipe anywhere.
Its comin’ up a bad cloud!
Did Mojo say that where he’s from? Or is that just our neck of the woods.
Yes. They did say that.
Well, he said, “not younger people. Only OLD people said that.”
Gosh. I guess we’re old.
Get off that computer and save yourself!
Then you can post.
Grandma recipes are the best!
Oh, the storm ain’t that bad. Just a little rain and some bluster.
Bluster.
That’s another funny word.
Put the two funny words together and you have “Titty Bluster.”
The worst stripper name in the universe.
“tifflejel” it is. i just posted about titties, myself. and toads seem to be popular lately, as do werecreatures.
of course, grandma recipes are timeless.
(boobies!)
Tifflejel, Shelley, I’m sorry to hear about your health problems. I can relate… my hands and fingers have really been hurting more lately. Not sure why, but maybe it’s the hours and hours of typing/mousing I do every day. Get some rest and we’ll hope to hear from you soon.
Lots of funny words on this post. ;-)
As for the topic of this post, it’s really great how christians think themselves above the law: Defacing a publicly owned library book for any reason is still a crime, and in my mind, a heinous one. But god-freaks everywhere think it’s A-OK to do anything they want because they’re not subject to “man’s rules”. Yes, I’ve heard those exact words from christians when I was a kid. Nowadays I run from christians like they have the plague, but I can only assume that sentiment has become even more common than it once was.
Thinking you’re above sensible laws and common decency is step 1 towards becoming a total nut bag. And not in a good, fun sort of way.
Uh, I meant that the ‘above the law’ sentiment is more common than it used to be. Not that running from christians has become more common. Then again… maybe a double meaning works there!
hey Mojo, you might like this site.
You’re right! I love it. The whole truth about it all. Sanctimonious bastards!!!
