HAPPY TUESDAY
Very happy yes.

DISCLAIMER
Conor Hayes does not actually think that Dan is (that much of) a butthole.

Apology
Humor is partly about pushing boundaries. But sometimes, those boundaries are pushed too far. The Daily Urinal extends its apologies to anyone offended by the swear words used in last issue. The staff of the Daily Urinal aims to make the publication appealing to and appropriate for all of Bishop’s. That goal was not met with yesterday’s issue, and for that the DU is very sorry.

Hot summer nights, mid-July
When you and I were forever wild

ESSAY PROMPT
What, to you, defines a curse word? Is it the way it is used? The way its audience interprets it? The intentions of its user? The history of the word? Something else entirely? Explain, ya buttpoop.

The DU is #1
By: Conor Hayes (Only One N)
                As many of you loyal DU readers may have noticed, the ever-controversial DU spitfire Dan Forssman created yet another scandal in yesterday’s issue by criticizing a student who is not, in fact, enrolled in the Bishop’s School.  Connor Hayes, the student in question, was accused of two crimes:
Crime the First: Having attended too few of Bishops’ many sporting events over the course of this school year.
Crime the Second:  Not having collected his fecal matter in a reasonably organized, fully fused pile.
Both of these crimes are indeed very serious.  The first, in fact, is one that I myself am somewhat guilty of, and one that I intend to address.  However, the more astute among you, dear readers, will have noticed a flaw in Dan’s otherwise impeccable argument: a student who does not, in point of fact, exist, will almost certainly have difficulty doing much of anything, much less attending school events and/or unifying his poop. 
“I think it is very rude of someone to discriminate against those with a disability like mine,” said the unfortunately fictitious student in an interview yesterday.  “Just because someone doesn’t exist doesn’t mean that you can criticize him/her whenever you want,” he continued, an irritated tone slowly creeping into his utterly fictitious voice.  “I may not exist, but I do have feelings.  And it is especially surprising for me to hear such comments from someone who himself must deal with the equally serious disability of being a bit of a butthole.”
The DU has certainly created its share of controversy over the years. I think that part of its purpose at Bishop’s is to be an outlet for the suppressed feelings caused by such a high pressure environment, and as such its needs its share of belligerent rants, poorly worded insults, and poop jokes (especially intelligent poop jokes).  The Daily Urinal is an excellent receptacle for the unwanted byproducts of the Bishop’s Experience.  However, it is when these byproducts miss the mark and hit the walls next to the Urinal that problems are caused.  Mr. Beamer—or the cleaning staff, depending on which urinal we are talking about—has to get involved.  And even worse, this particular target of opportunity does not even exist; the criticism just flies through space, never hitting anything and dividing by every zero it sees.  The DU has a positively sterling reputation when it comes to two things: being published Daily, and being a wonderful Urinal.  When our DU material spills or leaks, it is the good reputation of the Urinal that gets thoroughly peed on.  And this, I will not allow.

I Like Swearing
By: Hubert Short (Chronic Curser)
                I never understood all the fuss about cuss words. To me, a word is a word is a word, and that’s that. Of course, my college girlfriend Martha was initially surprised to hear me talk. “Get used to it, you ugly nasty—!” I’d tell her. And eventually, she did get used to it, of course, but she never seemed to really appreciate my rich and colorful vocabulary. We parted ways after graduation rolled around—she to a high-paying job in petroleum engineering, I to a three-year stint in jail for aggravated assault.
                I’m married now, with a wife and two great kids. I really like to push the envelope with names, so my kids are named Buttpoop and Floozy. I wish I could have used stronger words, of course, but my wife stopped me. “Herbert,” she said to me, “You can’t use the F-bomb as a baby name. It simply isn’t done!”
                “Oh, can it, you—.” I responded, giving her a kiss. She’s a sweet woman, my wife Nina is, but sometimes she just doesn’t undertstand me. You see, I dream of the day when I can call my kid a fat piece of trash—or worse!—without fear of some prude telling me I “can’t talk to kids that way” and “I’m ruining their self esteem.” Shows what they know. Buttpoop has grown into a fine young gentleman, and Floozy is really coming into her own. 
                There have, of course, been times where my dirty mouth has gotten me in trouble. I’ve been kicked out of more restaurants than I can count, my in-laws hate me, Buttpoop’s third grade teacher still thinks I’m a psychopath, and my credit score is down the toilet. That last one isn’t a direct result of my dirty mouth, but it sure does make me gosh diddly-darn mad to think about. Almost cussing mad, in fact! Yes right now, I could just let out a long stream of rude, crude, mean, obscene, terrible words—
                Hold on, my wife is calling me. I think I’ve got to fix that dad-blamed television. That durned contraption sure can be a piece of—
