Weekend fun: Count the F Words…
Sometime this weekend, I thought I’d go through my archives and count the number of times I’ve used the “F word”. This is something that was done on the old Yirmumah minicomics from ‘98, and people loved reading on the covers how many times the F word was used.
So, before I go count, if anyone out there wants to take a stab at it so that we can see if the numbers match up, GO FOR IT. Remember though, safe words like “fuggin” don’t count. To be a true F word, it must be a direct relative of “fuck” — so, Fuck, Fucking, Fuckin’, Fucked, Fucker, Fuckwad…. you get the idea. Also, blatantly apparent Fwords that have been scratched out count. Or, let’s count the starred ones too like “F*ck”– because, even though they are scratched or disguised you can still see what they are. I should have never scratched them out… people are too afraid of that word.
OK… I actually counted now…. I have a number, I’ll await to see what other people come up with and if it matches.

Fuck, Rich, you went and did a book report on the shit, hehe.
November 26th, 2005 at 7:40 pm
Hope I don’t get an ‘F’. Ha-ha.
November 26th, 2005 at 7:56 pm
Holy crap, Rich! Dude, e-mail me your mailing address and I’ll send you something out… that is just amazing homework.
I know as I was counting, and suddenly I hit that one Fuck you, Housework strip, and I was like– WOW , thats a lot of F’ing right there! hahahha….
I guess i’ve had to scratch it out based on the audiences at the time, like PV didn’t want FUCK blaring on their homepage, for good reason….
Now, I just feel indifferent to the word. I know I’ve been pigeonholed into Yirmumah being “not for everyone” and lewd and crude…. but wow, I’m really surprised I don’t swear more.

Yeah, you fucking pansy

I counted 3,000, but I dropped an anvil on my big toe while I was counting and may have gotten my own “fuck fuck fuck” confused with those in the strips. Or something like that.
November 27th, 2005 at 12:28 am
Who the fuck owns an anvil these days? And why was it above your foot? Any blacksmiths fucking shit up in the house?
November 27th, 2005 at 2:36 am
Fuck yeah! I was making Fucking Swords of Fucking Death on that fucked up fuckers fucking roof!
Holy Fuck! You should have heard the fucking fuck scream bloody fucking murder when I fucking dropped that fucking shit on his fucking foot!
November 27th, 2005 at 3:29 am

November 27th, 2005 at 2:22 pm
Fuck, man, you better fucking learn to watch your goddamned language or I’m gonna fucking open a can of whoopass on you, you shit-riddled fuckstick!
Well, that was expected.
November 27th, 2005 at 2:53 pm
Fuck, sir. Fuck.
November 27th, 2005 at 2:55 pm
It appears that only me and Rich did it. I feel stupid now. I only went along as I thought everyone else was going to do it too.
I did something very pointless….
Then Rich came along and did it better than me. I will get your for this Rich, if it’s the last thing I doooooooooooooooooooooo.
