Oh, Ok I'll take it slowly. Well, you know how certain words get ****ed out? Weeeeeeeeeel words get ****ed out even if they are just part of another normal word. For example if say, 'hortle' was a very bad word for young and impressionable people to encounter, the MR forum would automatically blank out that part of the word if I attempted to write 'chortle'.

and I mean that in a good way!

So did I. You guys really aren't satirically challenged but it's fun to pretend it is so. You guys invented Lenny Bruce and Mort Sahl.

Dear lord sir, I still have no idea what you are saying. And my sense of humor is more out of bounds than most other people on the planet.

FFS, (for fracks sake) do I need to eat some alphabet soup and ***** it out?

Have you heard of this word? —> http://www.om-atha.com/images/word.jpg,

Although the idea of watching you eat some alphabet soup is enticing, I think I've got it. It's rather late where I am at, and I probably need to get to bed, but I am not good at doing what I should.

P.S. I got in now.

frack it all, or Frackville it all.

Brits steal carloads of ********* Austrian roadsigns
No IT angle and certainly NSFW
By Lester Haines
Published Monday 15th August 2005 13:06 GMT

An Austrian village called ****ing will not change its name despite s******ing Brits making off with its roadsigns.
Mayor Siegfried Hauppl has asked visitors to lay off the signs which began to attract outside attention after British and US soldiers passing through in 1945 illuminated the locals as to the English meaning of ****ing, Ananova reports.

Hauppl explained: "We had a vote last year on whether to rename the town, but decided to keep it as it is. After all, ****ing has existed for 800 years, probably when a Mr **** or the **** family moved into the area. The 'ing' was added as a word for settlement."
We reckon that ****ing has been around a lot longer than 800 years, otherwise there wouldn't have been any ****s to lend their name to the village in the first place, would there?
Be that as it may, the disappointing news is that the residents of ****ing are - according to Franz Duernsteiner, an expert on preposterous Austrian village names - very "conservative" people. He said: "Most of them can speak English, and when someone asks them where they come from they are a little ashamed to say it."
That's fair enough, and certainly something the residents of Milton Keynes can sympathise with.Will it get through or won't it?

I liked the sign (Danger Will Robinson rude word in link) (http://www.apostropher.com/blog/archives/001470.html) with the name of the town and two little children under it with the slogan **********, please, not so fast.
