cheap shot that I can't pass up because it's funny even thought I know it's cruel and totally not true: Do you need to write anachronistic down in your little notebook to look up later?

I thought I read through all the posts before I launched my defense, dammit.

Thanks, Greg. Also, SHUT UP GREG!

Whadda ZING! - Phooey you!

And, c'mon man. I deserve props for looking up those words and not just shrugging my shoulders and saying, "Eh, whatever. Just one word. Who cares?!"

Of course, when I had to look up, like, 3 words a page minimum when reading The Once and Future King , I really DID feel like a moron. Cause that was only last year.

Hey, I'm not saying the cheap shot was in any way deserved. Thus the term "cheap shot". But when an opportunity for high grade humor like that presents itself...I'm all over it, even if it does need to come with disclaimers.

Buddy, as Cordelia from Buffy once said, "A disclaimer is nobody's friend." And I would have found it just as funny, without any offense taken, if you'd just zinged me without one. I can certainly appreciate a good zing. And it did make me chuckle.

I don't think cussing on its own is anachronistic, just the use of "fvck." Of course, I'm not an expert on the Old West, but I just think of this more as a modern favorite. My thought was that back then they would have had different "preferred words."

The constant use of fvck just seemed to take me out of the context, like I was just watching a bunch of modern actors in dirty vintage clothing playing dress up. I suppose I can give it another shot.
