Please stop dodging the language filter.
We understand that race fans will curse from time to time. We don't have a problem with that. But not everyone is comfortable with harsh language and we've found that the more we allow it, the more people will use it.
We don't want to spend our time deciding how much swearing is too much swearing. When does it start detracting from the discussion? When does it start driving people away?
So we have a language filter. It has been on from the start. We didn't leave it turned on by mistake. Please don't deliberately circumvent the language filter with spelling, spacing or anything else. Let it do its job. If you're concerned that nobody will know what you are saying you can censor yourself. But do not include any more than the first and last letters of the word.
"S***, n****, that's all you had to say!"

If it's a really long word like, m**********r, will you allow a couple letters in the middle? I'm not real good at that whole "Wheel of Fortune" kind of word game. :gomer:

The foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing is a vice so mean and low that every person of sense and character detests and despises it.

At a place I used to work, there was a sign on the bulletin board that said "Profanity is an atempt by a feeble mind to express itself forcefully", or some such **** as that.

Never miss it. Best acting on television (and I typically don't have much respect for that "art").
I wanted to talk about the season finale... but I didn't feel like getting banned, since I just made it back here.

Aye, dawg. Great ****. :thumbup: :thumbup:
BTW, some stats on the f-bomb in the series are available through Drudge by querying the archives using the term HBO (no linky for a reason). Last count was 1900+ f-bombs for the season, ********ers. :D

Anyone watch HBO's Deadwood? Could you imagine what that script would look like on here!! Funny you should bring Deadwood up. They obviously carefully researched the idiom before writing for the show. Older people in isolated areas of the West still talked like that as recently as the mid-70's. Oddly formal yet profane. I owned a small blacksmith shop in far Northeastern Oregon in the early 70's where the highway through the valley had only been completed a few years before, and the language among the old timers was exactly like on Deadwood. Even the older church ladies acted like it was all perfectly normal.
I recall one incident at a fire where the State Police were trying to reroute traffic and they were crying they were laughing so hard at the instructions coming over the bullhorn to the volunteer fireman; "You dumb sons of beaches, I can piss faster than the water is coming out of this c*** *****r." :thumbup:

At 7G many years ago, lone_groover spelled out m**********r with Greek symbols and math symbols. The poor slob he directed it at didn't even get the joke.... :laugh:

He's still here, isn't he?
The Groover and I got off to a very rocky start. But as I saw we both had an appreciation for Sanford & Son (anyone have any of the "blue" Redd Foxx material?), it's all good now.

I'm glad this was bumped because it gave me a chance to read the whole thread. OC, I *knew* I liked you! You reminded me of part of my history.
My college days were spent in the mid-Ohio valley and people back in the valley (away from the "big town") still spoke much like that. I was (and still am, sigh, pretty prim and proper) and could hardly get over the old aunts saying stuff like "you look like you're looking for fly **** in the pepper" when I was trying to find something in a drawer. Or, simply "My a$$ is tired." Plain and to the point. They didn't mean their mule. No filter dodging there. Good memories. Good memories.

Completely OT, but I finally bought that DVD a couple weeks back.....
Soooooooo worth it. :laugh:
This is the story of Rindercella and her sugly isters.
Rindercella and her sugly isters lived in a marge lansion. Rindercella
worked very hard frubbing sloors, emptying poss pits, and shivelling shot.
At the end of the day, she was knucking fackered.
The sugly isters were right bugly astards. One was called Mary Hinge and the
other was called Betty Swallocks; they were really forrible huckers; they
had fetty sweet and fetty swannies. The sugly isters had tickets to go to
the ball, but the cotton runts would not let Rindercella go.
Suddenly there was a bucking fang, and her gairy fodmother appeared.
Her name was Shairy Hithole and she was a light rucking fesbian. She turned
a pumpkin and six mite wice into a hucking cuge farriage with six dandy
ronkeys who had buge hollocks and dig bicks.
The gairy fodmother told Rindercella to be back by dimnlight, otherwise,
there would be a cucking falamity.
At the ball, Rindercella was dancing with the prandsome hince when suddenly
the clock struck twelve. "Mist all chucking frighty!!!" said Rindercella,
and she ran out tripping barse over ollocks, so dropping her slass glipper.
The very next day the prandsome hince knocked on Rindercella's door and the
sugly isters let him in. Suddenly, Betty Swallocks lifted her leg and let
off a fig bart.
"Who's fust jarted??" asked the prandsome hince.
"Blame that fugly ucker over there!!" said Mary Hinge. When the stinking
brown cloud had lifted, he tried the slass glipper on both the sugly isters
without success and their feet stucking funk.
Betty Swallocks was ducking fisgusted and gave the prandsome hince a knack
in the kickers. This was not difficult as he had bucking fuge halls and a
hig bard on.
He tried the slass glipper on Rindercella and it fitted pucking ferfectly.
Rindercella and the prandsome hince were married. The pransome hince lived
his life in lucking fuxury, and Rindercella lived hers with a Follen swanny.
