Man, it took me so long to type up my seconding of the question, it had already been answered by the time I posted!

Ok, I amend the question....

What are the most common swear words tossed around the office?

WTH, WTF and the F-bomb in a sentence are probably at the top of the list. Most of my growing up years were spent in MA and the F-bomb is dropped as a normal part of conversation a lot of the time so it doesn't seem like that big a deal to me or Steve either, apparently, although he didn't grow up in MA.

I think I love you even more, now!

Now, I do know there's a time and a place where it's "appropriate" to use them but if I'm with a like-minded individual who doesn't have a problem with it, it will come out. I'm guessing you wouldn't be upset if I let it slip around you.

I am pretty sure that you were just pleasant and polite when I was around you. Patricia and I both cussed during that conversation, but you were nice and proper! No fair!

I'll try to do better the next time I see you.

Hopefully we will meet someday, and you can impress me with your sailor-like skills! (Ha! I will win!)

This is probably when you have to show him a post on SKMB.

Still trying after all these years.

Not even. I curse with a high degree of fluency and a soupçon of flair. My poor kids.

 

[FlakeNoir]

Oh no... not me, sorry

I meant that DJ is still trying to get Bev to release a book of short stories...

 

[Bev Vincent]

Bev Vincent -- do you have a collection of short stories coming out?

I have a recent mini-collection available as an eBook from Cemetery Dance under their CD Select series -- that has four stories, all reprints.

I also have four stories in a collection called When the Night Comes Down (along with 4-ish stories each from three other writers). Three of those are previously unpublished. So that's a good sampler.

My agent recommends that I hold off on a collection until I have a bigger readership in fiction because a collection at this point in my career is unlikely to expand my readership -- only people who already read my stuff are likely to buy one. CD has offered to do a formal one on a couple of occasions, but I'm not quite ready.

I sense a great disturbance in the Force. Or at least an invitation to a p!$$ing contest. This could get interesting...

There was face-grabbing and kissing? Did anyone capture this for posterity? We need a dedicated film crew at the next Kon!

really really think this guy is blowing snot out of his nose. Flake uses this and I didn't have the heart to tell her that! hahahaha! But, now you've said the same thing, am I just looking at this guy wrong?
