A funny for you to enjoy this morning

I saw this years and years back, before I'd ever even heard of Deadwood...it was one of those shows I always meant to watch but just never did and then it was gone. Anyway, recently it's been on On Demand and Mr. gin has been watching it obsessively. I've caught a bit, and it's made this all the funnier because it is dead on.

So yesterday I was poking around on Wikipedia, and I can actually offer sort-of insight into this now! Apparently, the thing with the swearing was that they initially tried writing it with actual swear words of the day, and they thought it sounded ridiculous and everyone sounded "like Yosemite Sam", so they wrote in modern, anachronistic swearing to effect the viewer the way that swearing of the day would have affected a casual listener. Or something. Still not sure why "cocksucker" won Swear Word of the Day in that contest, though. :)

:) Glad you liked it! I found it quite funny years ago when I saw it, but yeah, having seen the show now it's definitely hilarious.
