What a deplorable little... meme
[SPECIAL NOTICE: Be sure to get in on spreading the Blogmothers Day™ meme! And if you don't have a Blogmother, consider "adopting" one, eh?] (You thought I was gonna say something else. Wash out your mind with a lil soap) Dan over at Riehl World View passed this dirty little meme my way, and, although I 1.) Have little quarrel with vulgarity*, and in fact find it has its legitimate uses and 2.) Don't even find the use of the particular vulgar word the meme is built around all that bad AND 3.) Even have a recipe for "Turd Punch" (seriously: it uses Tootsie Rolls) someone handed me as a suggestion for a kids' party, I'll admit I had a little difficulty with the image... nevertheless, as Dan said when he tagged me to spread this one (now, there's an extension of the image I wasn't expecting. eeewwww): "... if you can't hurl the occasional turd at a friend, what good are they?" As I understand it, the assignment is to 1.) write a lil ditty built upon the phrase "Turd in a punchbowl." 2.) spread the lil meme to three others. So, here goes: Turd in a punchbowl At the seminary brunch; Turd in a punchbowl At the ladies' lunch. Turd in a punchbowl Whoever could it be? Oh! It's just a deacon Dropping by for tea. Tagging Bou (she has boys: she can probably write this one from experience and include it in Karnival of the Kids), Kris (not exactly lyrics for a SoulFire song... ) and RDN (call it an early summer writing assignment) on this one. We'll see who, ummm, bites. (Update: thought I'd clarify. Yes, I was thinking of a particular deacon... somewhere. *heh*) *"little quarrel with vulgarity" calls for a review of something I DO have a quarrel with: people who's semi-illiteracy leaves them no ability to discern between vulgarity, obscenity and profanity, so they limp all of them together under the highly inaccurate appelation "profanity."
