Etiquette Past vs. Present: Cussing in Public
Emily Post pretty much set the bar for manners, and last week when I quoted one of her echoes of traditional etiquette, most of you agreed with her and like it when a man walks on the curbside.
Below is one example of what Emily calls "Today's Rudest Behaviors" in her book Etiquette. Now I must admit to being guilty of this from time to time, but I agree with Emily, it's not the most charming way to behave in public.

Fantastic Mr. Fox: Lives Up to Its Title
For the past five years, Wes Anderson's wide fan base has been waiting for his first fully animated film. Would his adaption of Roald Dahl's children's book, Fantastic Mr. Fox appease the same crowd that holds Bottle Rocket and The Royal Tenenbaums near and dear to their hearts? The answer is an emphatic yes, and the best news is that you don't even have to enjoy Anderson's other work to fall in love with this film.
Video Inside Khloe's Wedding, Matt Damon's Fake Freakout, & Miley's SATC 2 Cameo!
Video of Khloe Kardashian wearing Vera Wang at her star-studded weekend wedding, Matt Damon curses up a storm on set with Adrian Grenier, and Hugh Jackman stays in character when a cell phone interrupts his Broadway performance.
Guys and Cursing
I like a man who's not afraid to use the occasional expletive (at appropriate times, of course), but I think it's a major turn off if he's constantly dropping the F-bomb.
I once met a guy at a bar that I found attractive, but when we went on our first date, he was cursing left and right. I think he thought it was cool or proved his manliness, but truthfully it made him seem unintelligent and left me feeling totally uncomfortable.
The Swear Jar
Establishing an office swear jar is a good idea, especially when the money accumulated in the jar buys everyone beer. Sh*t, since all censoring is thrown out the f*cking window, excuse me while I go add 50 cents to the swear jar. (But can we change that to a microbrew, or, better yet, scotch?)

Savvy Read: In Cheap We Trust
You can never have too many books on your reading list, and this suggestion might bring some variety to those you've already cracked open. Former reporter for Reuters and Newsday Lauren Weber just published her book In Cheap We Trust: The Story of a Misunderstood American Virtue, which focuses on the evolution of thrift, from the Puritans to the freegans. She keeps the text fresh by including personal anecdotes — she describes her economist father as "compulsively cheap" and admits that once he tried to ration toilet paper.
Download of the Day: GimmeSomeTune
I swear I can listen to a song over 100 times and still manage to mess up the words, or make up my own — kinda like the Romy and Michele's High School Reunion scene when they sing Footloose (Footloose manages to turn into cut loose).
Because I regularly watch music videos on YouTube, I've used this Greasemonkey extension to help me with song lyrics, but what about my iTunes library? Thankfully a reader has submitted a neat download to the Download of the Day group to help this geek out.
Relax Already: Try Reiki
After being laid off and collecting unemployment for a few weeks, an amazing career opportunity has just fallen into your lap, and you have a job interview tomorrow. Needless to say, you're anxious and stressed, and it's nothing a hot bath or cup of tea can handle. A Reiki session could be just the thing to calm your nerves and release tension from your tight muscles.
Go Ahead and Swear: The New Pain Management
I think most of us have a go-to swear word. The term you mutter, shout, or scream when you stub your toe in the middle of the night. It turns out that swearing might be a viable form of pain relief.
