“OR IS YOUR BUTT TOO PUCKERED.”


While I won't argue whether Laz is a sicko or not, and I don't know or care whether he's right or left or sideways or whatever politcal/philosophical labels can be used "is your butt too puckered" isn't a phrase I find too vulgar but maybe it's a regional thing. "Pucker moment" is a pretty common phrase out here and though completing the phrase graphically is too much and heading that way does push things a bit, I don't find that one too bad. Just moves the needle a little that way.

Actually, I guess it's not inaccurate to say that the needle that swings a little is on what I call the Puckerometer. I don't use brake makers on real familiar tracks. I have a Puckerometer I can visualize in my head and then there's the ever-trusty sound of seat fabric ripping that tells you you should've started braking about 50 feet ago and you in a heapa trouble.

"Pegged the Puckerometer" is a phrase I like to use, too.

So, could we lighten up on the intolerance of a bit of crudeness here and also back of a tad on that crudeness itself? Laz? Others? This isn't a stock board where anything short of civil is good for a wrist-slapping but it's also not a political board where we couldn't care less since policing those is a frustrating exercise in futility.

A bit gray here but would like it to clean up and loosen up just a tad. M'kay?
