Man, everyday I prop myself up with fresh resolve only to have it knocked the fuck down in what seems to be some sort of great cosmic joke. After each shitty apartment I look at, I still maintain hope that the next will be better but each gets worse. When I say shitty I mean that literally in the case of yesterday. The whole place smelled like shit. The walls were puffing under the paint, with liquid shit I'm guessing, and the floors were wavy from mopped up shit? The next place after that, in the freezing rain of course, looked great! Top floor, pretty, quiet street, cheap rent-guy didn't show up. PERFECT! ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY PERFECT!
I give the fuck up, pardon my fucking french. Fuckity fuckshitting fuck it.
And so....I just signed for the courier delivery because the receptionist was either pissing or shitting in the bathroom and it was one of those electronic signing things that are all the rage with the kids these days and I started with a big S and didn't know what the hell came next for a couple of seconds there. I remembered and scribbled the rest of my last name and said to the guy "I just forgot my fucking name." He didn't seem terribly concerned for me.
The title of today's post comes from Professor Julius Sumner Miller to whom I was introduced through the very excellent Hilarious House of Frightenstein. After posing the problem of what would happen if a cylindrical container were to have 3 equi-distant holes punched along the length of the cylinder and water was to be poured into the cylinder, where would the paths of water fall? He declared that the commonly taught answer in which the streams from the top and bottom hole would fall in the same place and the middle hole stream would project further than the other two was wrong. In fact his quote was that it was "That is WRONG! Flagrant! Idolatrous! and wrong." I love it. To this day, 24 years later I love it. I love him. Each time I consider the events of the past weeks I think of this quote and I picture him yelling at me from beyond the grave, trying to remedy my ignorance.
By the way, here is what spellcheck suggests as a replacement for Fuck fuckity fuckshitting fuck it:
Fuji bucket bucketting Fuji it.
"Absofuckinglutely" completely stumped it.
