Dr. Isis is about to get up and head in to the office for the day. It's hard to get out of bed because, from here, I have a great view of Little Isis chasing our cat like a maniac. Dr. Isis has to work on a manuscript and then get home in time to clean up before our guests arrive for a little New Year's Eve Shin-Dig a la Isis.
I wish cleaning were more like this:
Video 1: The real Mr. Clean.*
* The last time Dr. Isis posted a video on her blog (the Lazy Town/Lil Jon video) she received an email from one of her real-life friends who was cheesed because the video contained a bad word and she played it in front of her baby. Her friend told her that she should include disclaimers when her blog has some naughty bits in it. Dr. Isis felt as though the disclaimer should be self-explanatory since she posted the video right under another post that contained a picture of what looked like a vat of penises. Still, let's all be clear. Nothing in this blog is safe for your children. It's probably not even safe for you, so stop letting your 3 year old read Dr. Isis. Unless, of course, you want her to end up being a totally hot scientist in kick-ass shoes.

That's tellin' her!!!

It is very, very, very important that parents do everything in their power to prevent their children from hearing "bad" words, because if they are very, very, very diligent, they will successfully prevent their children from ever hearing, speaking, or even being aware of the existence of "bad" words for their entire lives! In fact, if we work very, very, very hard as a nation at this important task, we can completely eradicate "bad" words from the English language! WE CAN DO THIS PEOPLE!!!!!!!!

Ha..!!
The only thing missing is the voice-over noting how 'hard cleaning' can now be 'hard playing'...
Maybe your readers can fill the hole left by the missing voice-over; kinda like one of those 'this pic needs a caption' things...

Amen. I am sick of this motherfucking expletive-free comment from the motherfucking PhysioProf.
Dude! TMI! What you know about how much Mr.Clean comes is strictly between you and Mr.Clean. You didn't have to come clean here.

I do love the near-poetic rhythm of the word "motherfucker." Probably that's why it's in so many songs. :) However, "cunt" has my vote as the most adorable profanity, ever! I think it's the similarity to the word "cute" that makes me just want to tie a little pink ribbon around it and take it home!
