#19, as someone who got a perfect score on the verbal portion of the SAT and excels at all things language-related, I must say that you, sir, are a fucking moron, and I will be shitting on your mother’s chest tonight. GOOD DAY TO YOU, SIR.

Well, spookyjuice, I suggest you get in the focus, put this crap on it and head on up I75. You might be wishing for a little euthanasia. Punk.

Your profane rant is my sonnet.

hail @ #19…I believe profanity is more the intent to rapidly and concisely depict a particularly strong and understandable thought or belief in as few words as possible…fucker.

I want to drive to kentucky with this painted on my ford focus

A horse is a horse of course of course
and no one can talk to a horse of course
especially if they euthanize it after the kentucky derby

I just moved to Tennessee, and today I say a dump truck that had, printed on the back, “Caution! F—ing objects!” I assume that somebody scratched out the “all,” but in Tennessee, you never know. If it had been a truck carrying livestock, I’d be sure.

#22 wins. Managed to work in O’Charley’s, Fulmer, and a O.W. Holmes free speech reference all in a single sentence.

Just to inject a little “totally not fun” into all this:

I’m pretty sure prosecuting him for this is unconstitutional. See Cohen v. California, 403 U.S. 15 (1971). Dude wore a jacket that said “Fuck the Draft,” prosecuted for disturbing the peace, Supreme Court said it’s unconstitutional.

Also see Miller v. California, 413 U.S 15 (1973). States can punish obscenity, but to be obscene (1) the average person, applying contemporary community standards (not national standards, as some prior tests required), must find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest; (2) the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct or excretory functions specifically defined by applicable state law; and (3) the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value. This clearly fails at least one of these and maybe all three.

God, I’m such a lawya. Kill me now.

but, is it still ok to yell “fulmer” in a crowded o’charleys, that, my friend, is the question.

Profanity is the crutch of a limited vocabulary.

Don’t fuck with the Chattanoogan either, or they’ll publish your address in the paper and on the internets.
