There are billions of people and a version of normal to go along with each one of them. No two versions are exactly the same. There will be hundreds of thousands of little things that make up your version of normal. With any luck you can find people that have close to the same idea of what normal is that you do. These are your friends. Anyone else you try to tolerate as best you can.
....
The exact definition of normal depends on who's running the asylum.

5531 - Memorial day and a point
I'm sure there will be some people that will take him up on this. Happy Memorial Day.
How I wish that much more research money was poured into finding a cure of stupidity. And jerkdom. It is a public holiday here today as well. Reconciliation Day. Our First People have been neglected/abused/disrespected for far too long. Small steps are being made. Strides are needed.
My mother used to say that the use of curse words indicated the lack of sufficient intellect to think of something appropriate to say. I think that if she were still with us and looking at the state of the country and the world, she'd be cursing like a longshoreman.
I've always said that fuck should be the ultimate curse...a word used sparingly, in very extreme conditions. When people throw it around like a normal word, it takes away the meaning.
Kathy - So do we need some new words? I wonder what it would take to get a new cuss word going... Remember, the latest research says that people that cuss are more intelligent.

Sue - I don't know if we have a native American day or not. ... I just looked it up. It's September 23rd.

ReplyDeleteKcuf . like Fuck but for backward people
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI definitely say fuck a lot more than I used to.
ReplyDeleteBill - I know the past week I've been F bombing the TV every time I see a republican talking about "mental illness" instead of gun control.
ReplyDeleteAnon - ouy kcuf - That's a good t-shirt slogan that would show up correctly in a mirror.
Deb - I agree.
John - Me too.
HAHA! Both of these are hilarious. And I agree. There isn't a strong enough word these days for some moments!

ReplyDeleteYep! I need that stronger word as well.
ReplyDeleteMartha - And "I" agree.

I agree. We need a word stronger than the f-bomb. Perhaps you can coin one, Mike? I'll think on it too.
ReplyDeleteCheers.
Your disgust for them is a tonic!
ReplyDeleteRobyn - It may be kind of difficult since the F-bomb is becoming as universal as the finger.
ReplyDeleteCloudia - Are you pumped up?!
I haven't used the F word a lot so it is still strong enough for me. Perhaps you could learn it in different languages and throw it around that way.
ReplyDeleteRiver - I think every language has a version if not the same word for it.
