Years ago I watched The Presidio, listening to Sean Connery being dubbed saying 'Bushwar' instead of bull-shit was toe curling.

My favourite was always John McClane saying "Yippee-ki-yay, Kimosabe" in an Asian-American voice.

They're probably still sent edits made for American TV, and they've always been way more puritanical than the censors here. I remember seeing films on TV years ago where words like "damn" or "hell" would be censored to "dang" or "heck". Amusingly, they don't consider "piss" and "w**k" to be curse words over there, possibly because they don't know what the latter means and just think it's a funny word. On Married with Children, Peggy's maiden name was "w****r"  :mellow:

Those god-damned mean puritanical sons of bitches..... Say it faster.

The TV version of Scarface has some belters

From "Where did you get that scar tough guy? Eating pussy?"

To

"Where did you get that scar tough guy? Eating Pineapples?"

In Twins, Danny Devito says to Schwarzenegger, "Money talks and bullshit walks." 

Schwarzenegger replies looking vacant as f**k "How can bullshit walk?"

This was cut to Devito saying "Money talks."

And the camera flicking back and forward between them both looking vacant.

If you can't tell then firstly, it doesn't matter, and secondly, you don't deserve to know. 

WTF are you gibbering about?

All good* takeaways mark up the containers.

*Have now downgraded said establishment.

Very openly posted about vapes wrecking me and got one (hail mary(?)) as a present. I've had 3 or 4 puffs and honestly, I'm fucking wrecked again. It's just a normal vape but my head is fuzzy and I feel like I'm stoned AF.

That's straight in the bin. 

Edit : and there's the first spew.

Bongs and big cigars had that effect on me. A few puffs and I’d be projectile puking everywhere. Last time was 17 years ago. Couldn’t get hold of any ciggies, pub vending machine was empty, miles from any shops so decided to smoke this comedy foot long cigar a pal had brought me from a trip to the Caribbean. Mrs came home to find me hosing the bedroom with high pressure red wine.

Got a houseful of folk, and a houseful of toys for the kids to amuse themselves with.

 

 

Nip upstairs for a shite in peace and the doors barely locked before I hear "dad.... dad.... daaaaaad....... DADDY..... DADDY!!!!!"

Swear filters on US social media sites such as Twitter and Youtube. This site partially censors some words like f**k and c**t. I'm fine with that. US sites, though, apply filters that block comments altogether for having unchristian words in them. Only comments with discriminatory words should be filtered. US puritanism is annoying pseudomorality.

I'm doing some cd ripping to MP3 just now and going through my cd collection. I'm finding that some cds which haven't been played more than maybe once or twice are unplayable and its definately not down to the way I store them or temperature or anything else since I keep them in purpose made cases in a cool room.

Check out this lovely frosting on a To Rococo Rot cd. This is a manufacturing issue which is unusual for a cd from the Domino label. I've also noticed that a number of cds bought around the early 90's have developed a strange gold colour and started to flake around the edges, which looks like the lacquer peeling off.

I'am now also sadly unable to play my cd copy of Trout Mask Replica which was bought around 2000. Gutted.

I really hope that's not what I think it is reflected in the CD
