Oh Sugarshoot and golly gee my Soundtrack is rated PG

June 25^th, 2007

Well, I guess Crablaw has started something here dag-nab-it.

Heckfire, after I read, “Crablaw is R-rated,” - oh perish the thought; I – like W. Crodhil over at “Politics Hon,” was also amused and piqued with curiosity.

Ahhh - I try very hard to keep things “G rated.”

Then again, first of all; I just don’t talk that way… and I try like h-e-double-toothpicks not to use offensive words like “taxes” or “Kennedy” or even “McCain Feingold.”

The second point is that I want “Soundtrack” to make it through the Carroll County Public Schools’ filters and just as importantly, I always wanna avoid a rebuke from my wife.

Holy cow, to my dismay, I’m rated “PG” for using the words, “dead,” and “gun.”

E-gads; the Dr. Pepper went flying at Andrew Kujan’s comment on Bruce Godfrey’s post…

Fiddlesticks; so just how are we to discuss “Baltimore's crime or transit problems in the foreseeable future.” (Crablaw 6/25/2007)

Unbelievable isn’t it.

Crap. I’ll just have to resort to writing about Disney productions.

Kinda makes ya wonder now doesn’t it; like whatever.
