In an effort to clarify that some of what's going on with him is bac-related I have started sharing a bit. (as in, we took a walk to watch the regatta yesterday and he, um, had an experience he hasn't since he was a teenage boy. I pointed that out as an SE.) That's a fun one!!

So today something happened and I said, "Oh. That's bac! Everyone has that." and he said, "I always start with my left foot when I walk...Does everyone do that too?"
(Is that funny? It was really funny in Ne-world.)

Yes, that IS funny!! :H You should have told him, "YES!! Everyone on the forums says that they suddenly have begun putting their left foot first when they walk!"

Too cute. Your hubby sounds fun. Then again, he'd have to be a pretty cool/fun/smart/funny guy to be with you!! :h

Karen, I know that my first PM wasn't from you, cuz I've been on MWO for awhile (don't remember who it WAS from, but that's irrelevant), but I'll always remember that you're the first person that reached out to me and wanted to connect offline, and I'll always treasure that. :l :h

After they switch, some people talk about how marvellous it is that they only need 5 hours sleep and they always wake up refreshed and ready to set the world alight. In fact, they don?t say it?s marvellous, they say it?s ?awesome?. I recently watched season 10 of the Apprentice (not the Gary Busey being all kinds of mental season, the previous one) and everyone was describing absolutely everything as being ?awesome?: ?hey, I just had an awesome sandwich?, ?if you could open that door for me it would be awesome?, ?so you want me to just carry these boxes around while you go and do something glamorous that will impress Mr Trump and his weird looking brood of clones? Sure, that would be awesome?. NO! It?s not ?awesome?, or ?ossum? as some of them pronounced it because they use the word so often they can no longer be bothered to even pronounce it correctly, it's OK at best, but actually it's really a bit shit.

But I digress. So, while some people awaken and are immediately up and at it, I?m sat here at 5am wondering why I?ve got the lines ♫ ?there is nothing you can name, that is anything like a dame?♫ going round and round in my head. I?ve just Googled it and apparently it?s from South Pacific. A MUSICAL?????? WTF? I mean seriously WTF is that about? I hate South Pacific. Mrs Murph made me sit through the film once. It was torture. I hate all musicals. She took me to see The Producers in London a couple of years ago. I fell asleep. She elbowed me in the ribs. I woke up. Then I fell asleep again. She jabbed me in the ribs again. This continued for a while until eventually she gave up and I left the theatre remembering something about a nazi pigeon and a swastika made out of people. What a load of crap. I would rather violently abuse myself with a cheese-grater than suffer that load of old bollocks again.

Mmmmmmm??nah, that?s just going to hurt.

I?ve always found singing God Save The Queen a very good way of getting those annoying tunes out of my head. It?s such an awful dirge, the most boring and uninspiring of all the national anthems, that it acts as musical bleach and my mind is wiped clean of unwanted tunes. But not this morning. It just keeps on going and now that I?ve seen the rest of the lyrics when I Googled it, it?s been added to:

What the fuck can it mean???????????

♫?what don?t we feel? we don?t feel good?♫

Good morning Bedford!

The worst thing about Awesome is it's such a lazy expression - you can use it without having to think of what you're actually trying to say - that lazy sods such as myself find ourselves starting a sentence, rumbling to the end of it and suddenly the word AWESOME comes thudding down like a Terry Gilliam animation, squashing all other possible contenders, which pretty awesome. (It's like one of those cheap Swiss Army penknives that turns out not to be Swiss. Looks awesome but when you use it you realise it can neither cut string or open tins of cat food, which, like, sucks.)

The best one can do is try and inject it with some sense of irony. A sophisticated sneer to indicate that "I'm only using this vague California-ism to take the piss out of the word itself, and Britney Spears, who probably invented it. Which makes me look pretty damn awesome." But then people think you're being insincere, and trouble starts, especially if you're talking about their cooking, which isn't so awesome (in fact it's sometimes lethal.)

I only saw the Producers as a movie, but I was quite shocked at how mediocre it is. One joke spread extremely thin. There was one line in there, though, which I thought was pretty awesome: " Hitler... there was a painter! He could paint an entire apartment in ONE afternoon! TWO coats!"

Anyway. Enough of that I've got to try and do some work. Which is tricky cos the weather outside is awesome. (As opposed to the weather inside?! Oh, fuggit!)

Thanks Pony, that was ossum!

I have not had time to read the last two entries. They look to be so awesome that I'll save them for my morning, when I awake at 430am bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to face another awesome day in the most awesomest way. 'cause that's the kind of bac-chick I am.

I logged on to say Good Morning to you and the other peeps on the other side of the pond. I'm making kale chips and roasted chickpeas for dinner. Which is awesome for me, but more to the point made me think of you.
I also wondered if you'd taken enough bac that you've overcome your naturally surliness and are feeling awesome. But I gather that is not the case. It's not, after all, a magical pill. It does, however, work seeming miracles. If...if...if and yadda yadda.
I also wondered if you've done the dishes yet? Mrs. M might actually make you a sandwich if you do that more than once a year...
Peace out, my dear Murph. And ponyboy.

(A musical? wtf indeed. we really are turning you into a chick. mwahahaha)

I think I am beginning to understand what's going on. It might be related to having my dog's castrated last week. Last night I dreamt Mrs Murph had cut my knackers off and made them in to a pair of earrings.

They truly were awesome earrings.

[Ne/Neva Eva]

Murph’s Baclofen (or should that be BacloFUN) diary

I won't even touch the earrings. Lovely though they may be, it's all in the eyes of the beholder. And I am NOT the beholder...

so.

Wow, pony. That was a right proper summation of the laziness with which most people approach language/expression/communication. I find the word 'fuck' fits in, for me, with most of what you describe for the word 'awesome'. It is simply the most versatile word in the English language. And packs way more punch than awesome. But it's also a cop out, right? Then again, how many words can you use in this way:

"fuuuuuuuuuuuck"
"That was fucking awesome."
"Dude, wtf?"
"That fuckin xxxxxxx"
"Fuckface"
"wanna fuck?"
"Are you fuckin kidding me?"
"It's a beautiful fucking day and I still have all this fucking work to do. It's just not fucking fair."
hmmm. You add to that the number of people that are offended by the word, just the word itself, and you've got way more potency, and like, you don't even have to think to use it. (I had a professor who hated the word. She missed the whole point, of course. I failed that class, I think. No fuckin wonder, though.)

Here's a good reminder of why it's a good idea to measure one's use of expletives. And to be really thankful for some measure of intelligence.

I have little ears around. I think it's best for me not to listen to these You tube videos. Leave it to Murph's thread. Rated Mature.

If you two (or anyone else) decides to start some shit like that around here then I will make a vow, here and now, to eat much more than twice the amount as both (or any) of you would have consumed, every Monday, in order to completely negate (and then some) all of your efforts...as if I don't already.
