05.11.2006 :: Join me in a swear?
Fuckin' A. I know. You don't usually hear that kind of talk from me. But just for today, let's have a potty mouth, shall we? I was at work (on break, come on, I'm not a time waster!!) reading Ten Big Ones, by Janet Evanovich. I told you already how much I'm enjoying the Stephanie Plum series and I'm quite sad to be nearing the end of the available books.
Anyhoo, in the book a character is trying to stop swearing and instead of saying FUCKIN'A, it is suggested that they say FUDGIN' A instead. I found this amusing. I am in a room alone at work and I'm giggling over Fudgin' A. The more I think about it, the funnier it became. And then the giggles took over. Soon, I was full out laughing, tears streaming from my eyes, worrying that I may indeed pee my pants. Not a soul around. Which of course makes it funnier. Funnier still was the fact that not one person found it necessary to enter the room to find out why I was having a baboon laugh attack ALONE.
Go ahead. Say it out loud: FUDGIN' A. See? It's funny! It was ridiculous, really.
Have you seen the quiz going around? Go ahead and take mine:
The Sandy Knits? Quiz. Can you handle it?
See how well you can do.
Fudgin' A!!!

I had a friend in high school who had sanitized versions of all the "bad" words. He could let off a string of either as appropriate to the audience. Great fun. (I have started using oh, fudge a lot since having kids, though the other one still slips from time to time.)

I was so sure you were a Laura Ingalls fan. But no! ;-)

Fuckin A, I scored an 80! My husband says Fudge and varieties there of. We have 2 boys now 5 and 3 when the little one was about one and a half and dropped something from his high chari, the oldest waslked up put his hands on his hips and declared ""Fuck! Fuck. fuck!" Great parenting in action. I had to dive inot the refrigerator to keep from laughing my head off.
Also, I have a fig tree and now every time I look at it I think of you!

LMAO! Fudgin' A! That's just too funny.
Posted by: Samantha on 05.12.2006 AT 09:12 AM
Hmmm, 60 for someone who just started checking in on your blog? Not bad, we knitters/spinners must be more alike than we ever suspected.

I know the Plum series is formulaic, but it's a formula I like. I believe Ten Big Ones was actually my favorite.
I didn't do the quiz; it's all I can do to keep up with Bloglines.

The fart button on the quiz was particularly effective for laughs,

Dang, I missed the first four questions and almost gave up! Woohoo, though - I pulled the next six out of, um, well, a random orifice, and didn't score so badly!

I love Lula in the S. Plum books. I also love when Stephanie says damn skippy. That just cracks me up.
Oh, and the quiz? I sucked.
Posted by: Carole on 05.11.2006 AT 07:12 PM
Hey, I didn't do too bad on your quiz! 60, my highest score on any of them. Either I pay better attention to your blog, or you made it easy. Let's assume the first.
Posted by: Cheryl on 05.11.2006 AT 06:53 PM
Apparently I should stop looking up and pay more attention! Hey I got fig right and sparkly red shoes, FUDGIN"A
Posted by: Michelle on 05.11.2006 AT 06:31 PM
Fudgin' A, said in my Bawstin accent IS funny.
Hey, see YOU on Saturday!

Apparently I should spend more time reading your blog according to my abysmal score on your quiz. How's that for an excuse for even more time spent on the internet?

Oooh, Sandy, I have the highest score so far on the quiz. Scary! Stephanie Plum makes me appreciate my uneventful life. I still laugh when I remember someone from my library school listserv posting about pulling up to a McD's drive thru in a convertible with one of those Evanovich audiobooks playing.

Posted by: maryse on 05.11.2006 AT 05:41 PM
Fudgin' A, I've been going around and taking these quizzes and flunking all of them. I'll go see about yours now. See how well I know ya. Should be interesting.

Thank you so much for mentioning these books. I've just read the first one and I loved it! It was so funny - especially being a former Jersey girl.
