PLEASE! make up your own curse. It's time for new improved ones

 

Curses!  We Need New Ones

We all need short-cut ways of showing our disdain for other people, ideas, or just plain WTF? is going on here and now (I hit my thumb!).   Recently, some folks have wanted to say; "F*CK YOU" to somebody; but were trying to be cute about it.  We all have curses.  I would like to suggest a few.  This week, I had to amend this and add the following:  The most necessary curse will now be:  "You fucking Crumley!"

If this doesn't become the poster child for clueless, vicious, negligence, then we are missing the chance to enhance our language, not to mention improving on: "Oh Shit!" 

Following were my previous efforts: 

“Charles Lewis” (the man convicted of the extortion of Tylenol by claiming to be the poisoner) should be a curse.  We need to be able to name the people who have so incredibly fouled the world we live in.  Their names should replace the meaningless curses we use today.  The “shoe bomber”, "Richard Reid" is the guy that has you hopping around the airport on one foot trying to put your shoe on.  Do you think that the airlines will ever invent something to sit on, like a bench?  So maybe "Airline" should be a curse too.

How about Pope "Urban II"?  Starting the Crusades was a Christian undertaking, right?  Nothing bad ever came of those actions.  Apparently, several Popes have declared themselves to be infallible and most if not all of them have been declared to be wrong (by other infallible Popes)?  It sounds like dueling excommunications (which actually happened when two or three popes between 1378 and 1417 were throwing encyclicals at each other).   If it’s all about completely improvable positions, can it possibly matter?  And was EVERY ONE of the first 35 Popes really all that “Saintly”?  Catholic dogma will all eventually have to be edited.  The Earth's centricity, stillborns in Limbo and twelve kinds of angels; they’ll all have to be changed (and maybe changed back again) if the church lasts long enough.   

We laugh now, thinking of the pinheads that seriously debated how many angels could dance on the head of a pin.  But, now we have literal believers in Noah’s Ark; kangaroos, anacondas and polar bears, oh my!  And, remember; today we have people debating when JFK is coming back to life; so maybe things aren’t really very different.  After 700 years of ascendancy, do you think the Romans in 408 AD thought that people would ever forget how to pronounce the Latin written word?

Oh! and let's burn some books while we're at it.
