"Holy Freakin' Cow!"

So, that's supposed to insult Indians?

As for Moses/Holy Moses: I think I heard it only twice in my life, coming from Israelis. It's all about Jesus here.

I used to have to caution my students at the Jewish high school I used to work at about how the whole "Jesus!" and "Christ!" is actually offensive to many people thing. Poor dears. They were baffled.

She's observant so Mom had her pick a cup (out of some not-yet-used mugs we'd just gotten for Christmas) to keep in our cabinet. She'd wash it with paper towels and no one else would use it. She picked one that said "Jesus Loves Me."

Okay, this? Is awesome.

what happens when I say "Jesus Fuckin' Christ" or "holy mother of God", or "Jebus" (thank you Homer Simpson) or "Jesus Mary & Joseph" . I wonder if that offends folks? Huh. Go figure.

I don't think any American under 85 has ever said "Holy Moses!" in any earnestness. That would start me laughing too, actually.

Yup, I say that on occasion. Usually when the Hooters song from the 80's starts playing "Holy Moses on the mountain..." great. Now I'm ear wormed with that one.

Is it too much to expect someone who supposed to be one of your best friends, whom you're hosting for a few days until she finds an apartment to SHUT THE FUCK UP when you're saying you're going to sleep and respect your wishes?

do you still have the m-16? All you gotta do is clean it. Strip it down and clean it. Then practice putting it back together. Maybe occasionally eye her in a psycho killer kind of way. What? It's not threatening. It's just practice of a skill you learned while in the Army, no?

Clearly I need to go to bed. Tomorrow is holiday party. Mmm joy. (not a big fan of holiday parties).

Night Bitches! Everyone get better, ya hear?

My mother uses "Jesus, Mary and Joseph!" when she gets frustrated about something.

---

I use Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Lot of Catholics I know do. So either we're a spectacularly unobservant and blasphemous bunch (which, well, yeah, I am) or Catholics as a whole have no issue using it.

I haven't had enough coffee yet to ponder the mysteries of the Universe.

And Shir, you're much nicer than I am-- tired and grumpy enough, I would've calmly gotten up, taken the phone, said "Bye honey, call you later," and pitched the bastard out the window.

But then again, I'm not particularly tactful.

Me likes the way Barb thinks.

So, I just found out that I'm going to have 25 kids tomorrow at work. So, my Snowman Party just expanded. It's going to be SO fun! And, if I'm an insane asylum on Thursday, you'll all know why.

I'm surprised no one mentioned this.

Yesterday the members of the Electoral College officially confirmed Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States.

Next step? Dick Cheney has to present the official Certificates of Votes to Congress on Jan 6th. I'm sure he'll be gritting his teeth.

Well, actually, the Electoral College voted for Barack Obama. The vote won't be confirmed until Congress tallies the votes in January.
