  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

If I ever get over to fu@king Deadwood, I'll be sure to look up those c@cksuckers.

That show was an excuse to use the F word everyother sentence. It became so distracting I stopped watching.

At the time of the show I read an article with the writer, David Milch. His response to the use of language was that he wanted to portray the use of foul language by the inhabitants of Deadwood at the time. The words they used at the time would be considered innocuous by today's standards so he used words from today's vernacular that would get the viewer's attention.

I too was put off early on by the language. I eventually looked past it to enjoy the show.

Sorry ... I was a big fan of the TV show and it was just a takeoff on the dialog. Like many, I was somewhat stunned by the language used ... but after a few episodes, I was so caught up in the story lines that it didn't matter.

For those math geeks around ... here is a humorous website that really details the number of f-bombs dropped.

And here's a classic quote ...by Number 10 saloon ownere Tom Nuttall: "My bicycle masters boardwalk and quagmire with aplomb. Those that doubt me... suck cock by choice. "
