George Carlin was right.

Vindicated! Finally!!! :laugh:
 
That has been a remedy for LBC repair mishaps around here for YEARS! No doubt a contributing factor in continuing relentlessly to scrape knuckles and pinch finger on them!! :jester:

PS: Doc., I haven't found much he was ever wrong on!! :thumbsup:

doc, yes he was!, i am myself a rather prolific, selective, creative, yet considerate orator of the profane, if one had the fortune to witness my missing the head of a common roofing nail while flailing about a 21 ounce hammer having it instead stike my own thumb , one might compare the following construction and symphony of such verbage to that of benjamin franklin or abraham lincoln's more eloquent speaches. :thumbsup:
 
What, me - a lady - cuss? You betcha!!! :angel:
 
Trying to compress Corvette springs.....!@$#%$^!#%!~#$^%&^%^*&^*($&&*!%^!#!@%~!!!! Ah, now I feel better....but, the spring still isn't compressed!
 
judow, seriously, ive never heard my wife "cuss" at anything or anyone...ah...sept me, hum, i wonder why. :rolleyes: where i grew up the "cussin" was elevated to an art form, i once won a pack of marlboros behind the hamball courts at sheapshead bay h.s. in brooklyn. with just one lengthy triple "x" rated diatribe. believe me, the competition was deep, :devilgrin:... oh ya, forgot to mention, i can do this in 3 languages.

I think to be a cult figure you actually have to find someone who doesn't like the guy. That's something I haven't been able to do with Carlin.

BTW, am i the only one who finds these words a good way to focus effort as well as pain? I find a small vocabulary of such things is a good thing have to inspire your car/wrench/drill/etc. to do what you want it to, and that that vocabulary varies from car to car. My TR6 responds well to a reversed 1st consonant version of a common phrase that rhymes with "trucker brother" :rolleyes: , my old Mopars liked female anatomy terms :shocked: , and my 1960 Buick required still stronger language that I had to insure my kids never heard :nonono: .

My old Japanese daily drivers responded well to German commands, but I'll let that one alone! :whistle:

My mantra - Cussin is better than ulcers! :angel: One question: Why is that we always learn the cuss words and food words when we are in a foreign environment??? Just wondering out loud.
