Line Out - Comments on Should James Lipton Ever Ask, Motherfucker is My Favorite Curse Word http://lineout.thestranger.com/2007/07/should_james_lipton_ever_ask_motherfucke A couple weeks ago, a friend and I spotted this grafitti on a U-District bus stop. I liked it because because (as one mind-reading commenter pointed out when I posted the photo on Slog later) "No Escape From Planet Motherfucker"...

"M-Fs wanna get with me, lay with me, love with me . . ."

All I can think of now, but I'm sure there's more . . .

How could I forget? The best part (for me anyway): his guitar player is Levi Seacer, Jr., and right before the guitar solo Prince says "Levi . . . Levi." I love that!

Also, back in the mid-90's, I acquired a seven inch from some band who had penned an anti-Bad Brains (or maybe just anti-HR) song where, at the end of the chorus, the band would stop just long enough for the singer to yell "EAT SHIT, DREADLOCKED MOTHERFUCKER!" before they went back into it. I'm not sure what the beef was, but I think it had to do with some sort of anti-gay Rasta thing. I wish I could remember the name of the band; I want to say they were called Go! but I could be mistaken.

I don't think they say it anywhere in the song, but I'll be damned if that isn't a great song title.

And then there's the one-two punch of "Don't Say Motherfucker, Motherfucker".
