I'm guessing she's not wearing her boots, this time... It looks like she's forming a small crater, from the recoil...

Oh, and she forgot to sign her "graffiti"... :P

Her fine control over her "zot" is greatly improved if she can write in the rock. When I was learning how to gas weld writing in the practice stock was one of the exercises for forming a weld puddle without blowing through the thin sheet metal they used for that particular "tag".

That's not so bad... and heart-felt, I do not doubt.

If she had written out "NO MORE" I would definitely have been worried.

In the early 1950s, a bored but single-minded weatherman, serving a 2 1/2-year duty in Her Majesty's Service in desolate northern Canada, made use of an abandoned Royal Air Force bulldozer and some surveying equipment to rearrange millions of tons of boulder, earth and ice to form four colossal letters spelling the familiar English obscenity for sexual intercourse. Located somewhat north of Hudson Bay, the word was said to be clearly visible from planes on intercontinental routes flying as high as 27,000 feet.

Could be. One structure of that name has a somewhat phallic appearance.

I believe that I have seen a picture of this.
I probably saw this in the early 1980s as part of the geology resource maps in one of the libraries at the University of British Columbia.
This seems to be something that would be known by the UBC engineering society.

I'm not sure they make a bar of soap big enough for this job...

You know that light at the end of the tunnel?

Yeah... it's a bullet. Sorry.

Technically, it'd be her hands, though. And I don't think that washing her hands would work.

Unless you used some of the degreaser we use. I found out you're actually supposed to mix it, with no more than half of the mix being degreaser. Yet... We never dilute it.

There are those who would say yes to either of those ideas. It's a statue of Christopher Columbus, on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco, with Coit Tower in the background.

The Lord Disciplinarian of Suds would prescribe liquid hand soap for the job. It can be ordered by the tank-car load. Just attach pressurizer and a fire hose...

On the picture's web page forum postings I mentioned that I was trying to reduce my use of 'Procreation' as a curse word, substituting 'Excrement' in it's place...

IDIC and all that but I'm making a conscious decision to relate physical relations with happy thoughts...

Sounds good! You could go theological ("Damn it") or bring back the old medieval use of the idea of death itself as a curse ("a mort on it!").

Or just take after Sydney Scoville. She has enough incentive cuss-phrases in her repertoire that I don't imagine she would miss one if you borrowed it for a while.

Always. Expect. Expletives.

I'm trying to use bother as a general-purpose curseword.

And Battlestar Galactica helped coin 'FRACK!'; that can slip you by the censors when needs be...

Still, while it's preferable and goal-worthy to reduce all need for any expletive, they sometimes find their way to the surface, despite best intentions.
