On a F*cking Mission

On Monday, writer Amy Krouse Rosenthal started a new mission for the readers of her blog, Mission Amy K.R (hosted by vocalo.org/WBEZ): the F*ck It list. She invites people to share a list of activities that they wouldn't ever want to do again -- basically, the opposite of a bucket list.

I think commenter Pam Wolff (aka Evil Ferret) and I would get along really well, based on her list:

  • F*ck political correctness. Just say what you mean. Like we can't tell anyway.
  • F*ck not being able to write f*ck in a blog for adults. Seriously.
  • F*ck idiots who don't know the difference between their, there, and they're. Ditto for the morons who can't keep its and it's straight. Most of all, f*uck the brainless wonders who think it is acceptable to use an apostrophe + s to make a word plural.
  • F*ck Fox News.
  • F*ch people who think that, because they dislike something, it is bad or wrong.
  • F*ck people who let their kids scream in stores and don't say anything.
  • F*ck people who take up 3-5 seats on the bus/train with their non-folding strollers or shopping carts.
  • F*ck wearing a bra.

Although, I must say I can't abide by the last one.

The blog also includes a few special-guest F*ck It lists, including ones from Amy Dickinson and Torey Malatia (who, when we asked him what he thinks about women's summer wardrobes, he said, "F*ck wearing a bra").
