Chamblee54

It is monday after work, and slack rules. What energy PG had is long gone. He started a nifty post about Truman Capote at lunch, but didn’t feel like finishing it.
Not to worry, Renegade Evolution has the answer. She displayed something called the Cuss-o-meter . Ren copped a 34.5% rating, which is not surprising for a sex worker.
Holy Cow, Chamblee54 got a 0% rating. Dad Gum, by Jingoes. Golly Gee.
The first question to arise is, what do they call cussing? The seven words of Carlin? Anything referring to excretion, reproduction, or the eternal destination of your soul?
The funny thing is, PG is not terribly offended by most profanity. He does try not to use cusswords, because they take attention away from the overall message.
Profanity is a social issue rather than a moral one. Certain words are not right or wrong, but when you use one inappropriately, you betray a lack of respect for the listeners.
There are words that offend PG…like Jesus…that many see as their moral duty to say as often as possible. And this eagerness to profane a sacred name is a violation of the third commandment. (That is, the eagerness of Jesus Worshipers to scream his name as often and loudly as possible. This use of a sacred name, as an annoying distraction, creates untold ill will for the object of  veneration.)
It is a matter of perception. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but ugly uses all five senses.

As the observant reader might notice, there are a lot of reruns on this blog. When you have an archive with 2000+ posts, there is a lot of material. On a slow day, a journey into the past can be a handy cure for writers block.
Part one of this feature was originally posted April 21, 2008. At the time, the Cuss-o-meter was working. When it was time to assemble this post, we made another visit. Chamblee54 got a 0% rating… “Around 0% of the pages on your website contain cussing.This is 100% LESS than other websites who took this test.” This was curious, since the no profanity policy at this blog has been relaxed for a long time.
Renegade Evolution is still in the blogging business, although she is less prolific than before. Her motto is “Damn Skippy it’s a personalized plate if your Dad made it in Prison!”. The last time we checked, damn was considered a wirty dord. Despite this, the Cuss-o-meter gave her a 0% rating.
The last test for the cuss o meter is DontEvenReply.com E – m a i l s f r o m a n a s s h o l e. This site is both copyrighted and hilarious. A person answers an ad, a business arrangement is made, and then things go horribly wrong. Inevitably, there is profane name calling. (The propriety of using a vital, productive body part as an insult will be discussed at a later date.) Despite the copious carlinality of this blog, the Cuss-o-meter rated it 0% cussing. PG has come to the scientific conclusion that the cuss o meter is no longer functioning.
The Cuss-o-meter is affiliated with a dating website. You are invited to join, or click on the fine print to get the results without joining. PG chose the latter, which might influence the results.
This post uses the name of a prominent radio whiner. This name has nothing to do with the content, other than rhyming with profanity. (Nor do the pictures, from “The Special Collections and Archives,Georgia State University Library” , have anything to do with the content.)
