No monkeys (or I will call for a vote). How about some chocolate?

Steph made me want French Toast. Now I feel all UnAmerican.
Teppy - I thought your surgery was Thursday, not today. I'm vibing at you - for an easy and successful procedure and a quick recovery!
Due to the e-mail I received this morning:
NO. I was NOT defending Zoe by any means with my one single post in this thread last night. I'm unsure how you could have read what I said in that way.
That is all. (Answered here in case anyone else read it that way also.)
No vote!!!! Here's chocolate! And kittens!
I know I hurt Kat's feelings.
If I hurt anybody elses please let me know. It has never been my intent in this conversation (or any other)to do so. Or to call anybody names for that matter.
And in the new spirit of things:
My favorite cus is Fuck, call me a traditionalist. Or don't since one of my achievements of which I am most proud is teaching my Mother to swear. (Alas, there was no way to put that on my resume).
My new favorite curse is "buggering hell." Hubby twitches when I say "fuck" because he feels it's unladylike (which caused me to stare at him in concern that, after 18 years together, he still has fantasies of me being ladylike), but "bugger" doesn't bother him as much.
Put me down as a buggerer. And a shitter. And a fucker.
erm.. so to speak.
Under great pressure nothing beats the eloquence of a nice long string of fuckity fucking fucks.
Also, awfully fond of "sodding" in front of anything that does not please me.
Oh, look! It's just like Sartre.
Will no one speak up for the silly and harmless -- and thus more startling -- "Oh my sainted Aunt Marie!" or "For the love of Mike!"?
Am I the only one, she asks tremulously??
Sometimes, a well-placed "Jesus wept" can be very effective. Okay, maybe it only works when you can hear the "I'm about to beat your brains in" tone.
I cuss quite a bit. It's just considered polite here in Texas. Apologies to anyone I've offended with a stray epithet. It's just my way of trying to talk around the bullshit.
Am I the only one, she asks tremulously??
Oh, for crying out loud. No, for Pete's sake...
