Nothing But Cussing Club - Because Science Said So

Swearing 'helps to reduce pain'

So some scientists did a thing where they determined that swearing can help you endure pain for up to 50% longer. Earlier attempts to stifle our free expression were met with hostility, and for good reason. Swearing is healthy, and when you have plenty to swear about, holding back is probably unhealthy.

Has your Jake Peavy been in a cast? Is your Chris Young's arm sore? Has your Adrian Gonzalez not hit a homerun in a month? Was your Scott Hairston traded away for dudes you don't know? Are you 36-52 at the Break? Then swear it up, sailor. Science demands it.

As an A's fan I just got done with a long session

of “reducing my pain” after learning the PTBNL is Gallagher. You guys should be much happier with that trade now. G’s 23, throws 95, has a good curve and you will have him through 2013.

I heard this on Rock 105.3 during the BC and Clint show

for Medical Monday. Nothing better than learning your “science” from some goofball rock DJ’s.

Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.

Wow, this thing is really getting around…

FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

BEING A PADRES FAN IS IRRITATING, FRUSTRATING, AND ANNOYING.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

I DONT FEEL ANY BETTER WHAT AM I DOING WRONG.

DODGERS, RED SOX, YANKEES, BRONCOS, PATRIOTS and RAIDERS all suck. Especially the Dodgers.
