or too tired to put up with this shit, or too sober to put up with this shit, or just plain not in the mood to put up with this shit."

"ah, that's okay man. (laughter) Let's let that go, man. I got my Grammy. I can let my hair hang down
now, shit. (laughter) Ha! So! Now the word shit is okay for the man.

At work you can say it like crazy. Mostly figuratively, Get that shit out of here, will ya? I don't want
to see that shit anymore. I can't cut that shit, buddy. I've had that shit up to here. I think you're full
of shit myself. (laughter) He don't know shit from Shinola. (laughter) you know that? (laughter)

Always wondered how the Shinola people feel about that (laughter) Hi, I'm the new man from
Shinola. (laughter) Hi, how are ya? Nice to see ya. (laughter) How are ya? (laughter) Boy, I don't
know whether to shit or wind my watch. (laughter) Guess, I'll shit on my watch. (laughter)

Oh, the shit is going to hit de fan. (laughter) Built like a brick shit-house. (laughter) Up, he's up
shit's creek. (laughter) He's had it. (laughter) He hit me, I'm sorry. (laughter) Hot shit, holy shit,
tough shit, eat shit, (laughter) shit-eating grin. Uh, whoever thought of that was ill. (murmur
laughter) He had a shit-eating grin! He had a what? (laughter) Shit on a stick. (laughter) Shit in a
handbag. I always like that. He ain't worth shit in a handbag. (laughter) Shitty. He acted real shitty.
(laughter) You know what I mean? (laughter) I got the money back, but a real shitty attitude. Heh,
he had a shit-fit. (laughter) Wow! Shit-fit. Whew! Glad I wasn't there. (murmur, laughter) All the
animals -- Bull shit, horse shit, cow shit, rat shit, bat shit. (laughter)

First time I heard bat shit, I really came apart. A guy in Oklahoma, Boggs, said it, man. Aw! Bat
shit. (laughter) Vera reminded me of that last night, ah (murmur). Snake shit, slicker than owl shit.
(laughter) Get your shit together. Shit or get off the pot. (laughter) I got a shit-load full of them.
(laughter) I got a shit-pot full, all right. Shit-head, shit-heel, shit in your heart, shit for brains,
(laughter) shit-face, heh (laughter) I always try to think how that could have originated; the first guy
that said that. Somebody got drunk and fell in some shit, you know. (laughter) Hey, I'm shit-face.
(laughter) Shitface, today. (laughter) Anyway, enough of that shit. (laughter)"

...used to pronounce "shit-faced" as if he had a French accent - "shi-fahzd." It sounded more sophisticated.

The t was silent. He was sooo "shifahst".
Thanks for the "lahff". The news is awful

said I hosey, meaning I have dibs on.
When my parents took us somewhere, one of would always " hosey" the wayback or a window. Spelling may vary, lol. I don't think it existed, except in greatah Bawstin. (Not Bahstin - that's how they say it in Chicahgo.)

and why I read very little in print, at least what passes for news in the US. It's shit. It's lies, omissions, half truths, innuendo, and the spectacle of a bunch of people whose only proper place is in cages in a zoo, hurling feces at their keepers. No thanks, I am done.

If you enjoy the specitacle of howler monkeys in power broker attire hooting inanities at cameras, knock yourselves out. Just be aware that the only veracity you'll find are the weather report, which has a chance of being right, and the sportsball scores, kept Ohonest by bookies nationwide.

Otherr than that, it's not even infotainment any more, it's just theater for the masses. Know this and trreat it as such and you'll find your life is a lot saner.

I wonder what optimism I can show, what cheerful demeanor. I see people acting hatefully and cheering hateful actions in the name of god and country.

The core malevolence isn't new. So casually they wreck and abuse.
