This will come as no surprise to any of you, but my blog has been rated PG. Apparently the use of the word "knife" in a few posts kept me from getting a G. Darn my violent tendencies.

Yikes! I'd best ask Mum if I can read this from now on, Robyn.

I just got rated.
A disappointingly tame NC-17.
Looks like it's been a pretty non-sweary month so far.
Hey ho. Perhaps I'm going soft in my dotage.

I bet the word "bastard" didn't help you.

Wait a minute. I've discussed fetishes, sex, and all sorts of things, and I'm only PG-13? It's because I used the word dead.

Dive, I'm sure Alifan will allow you to read my very very tame site, especially compared to your nasty filth--hee hee

Alifan,your site is not boring. Don't forget the pics of Oscar. He's lovely.

Sassy, I forgot about "bastard." See? It just goes to show how useless movie ratings are.

Rats!
There was I thinking my filth was lovely.
It's organic, GM-free filth, Robyn; carefully selected from only the finest muck-heaps.
Nasty indeed!
Harumph!

I don't know Robyn I still hold firm that your blog is rated G. And it's one of the best Damn blogs out there for quality writing.

Oh, and I swear like a sailor. Should my "eff words" get me into trouble with the ratings board?

Heh. I started with an R (it's been a slow period for rants) but now I'm NC-17. Timing is everything I guess.

And I'm tagging you.

No More Mr. Nice Guy

It's good to be a nice person--to say nice things, to do nice things, to write nice things--but I declare an end to the use of the word nice. Nice is what you say when you can't think of any other adjective. Someone shows you a picture of their back yard--that's nice. Someone tells you about their afternoon adventure--that's nice. Or someone describes their childhood in great detail and sometimes with painstaking effort--that's nice. It's a lazy word, and it's non-descriptive. Nice is like mashed potatoes with noodles and chicken gravy all in a big pile on one plate with some canned corn for garnish. Everything is the same color and texture and base substance--starch (this is a favorite Amish dish). Nice is like a partly cloudy day in April when outside feels like inside, and you can't tell a difference between the lighting and the temperature of your living room and the lighting and temperature of your front yard. Nice is a glass of lukewarm water. ...

Ish People

Tell an Ish person to show up around 9 a.m., and you'll see them somewhere around 9 a.m. Tell them to show up at 9ish, and you'll see them anywhere from 9:05 to 9:20. You have given them license to dilly dally, and who wouldn't take advantage of that? The other night at the big shindig dinner party, one of the drummers said the rehearsal the next morning would begin at 9ish. "I am an ish person," he says. Immediately the clanker goes off in my head--oh, good, I thought. I can deliver my daughter a little late. No Ish person is early, so if you say 9ish, that does not mean give or take 5, 10, 15 minutes. It's exclusively a taking phrase. Take an extra 10 minutes to drink your cup of coffee. We won't mind. We're Ish people. Sunday's rehearsal started at 2:00. Because it was conducted by the same people who conducted the Saturday rehearsal, my understanding was 2-ISH. My daughter is worse than I am about taking liberties with Ish time frames, so she d...

Long Live Anita Bowser

You know I occasionally check my hometown newspaper's website to scan the obituaries (morbid, I know, but I'm at that age). Over this past weekend, I read the obituary of Indiana State Senator Anita Bowser . She was a noted Democrat who championed causes protecting the neediest in the state's population. She was respected on both sides of the aisle for her intelligence and plain and outspoken approach to law making. The picture on her senate page is lovely. I remember none of those things about Anita Bowser . My first year or so in college was spent at a branch of Purdue University, and in the early 80s, Anita was a political science professor. She taught my American Government class my freshman year, and she was a mess. Somewhere in my old text book, I have a sketch of her drawn on a particularly dull day in class--her hose sagged at her ankles, her slip showed at least half an inch all the way around, her hair had been slept on but not brushed, and her bright red lip stic...
