The word of the day is "CUM".

So, graduating cum laude deserves a giggle?

Huh-uh-huh-huh-huh-huh, Beavis.

I see....

Miller, Carlin, and Williams used profanity in their comedy while cracking jokes about other things or at least using the profanity to make a social statement.

Beavis and Butthead are the sort of juveniles that think saying "fart" is funny. We were all there once I'm sure, but do we have to pollute a board about muds with that kind of thing? Or could we at least get Synozeer to remove Tavern of the Blue Hand posts from the Recent Posts on the front page if the kind of post at the top of this thread is to be considered acceptable?

--matt

hehe. He said fart. hehe.

Tavern of the Blue Hand is about ANYTHING. I suggested, quite a while back, setting up a Chatterbox forum (like I did at MUD Planet) for non-MUD related material, but it was left this way. *shrug*

But, what it all breaks down to is that this was an attempt to spread some humor and put a smile on some people's faces. You may not like or appreciate that, and that is of course your option, however others may have enjoyed it.

Most of what I see in this forum is, in some way, MUD related. When it isn't MUD related it is usually a humor post. If you don't want to read it, don't. Unlike other threads, where the point has been polluted, this thread HAD no point from the beginning aside from the attempt to spread some humor.

Good day.

Must.... not.... flame.....
