"FC" or "Fuck Combustion" Bubbler?

[MrNorml]

Interesting. I don't think it's a question of being able to handle a bad word; after all, we're all on this site. I'm plenty old and plenty experienced with all kinds of language, but "fuck" is a strong word and I'm not sure I want it on something I'd share with friends, or something sitting on my desk, etc. On some level I like words to retain their power to unsettle or shock, and not become just another bit of verbal detritus.... Having said that, I actually don't really care that much about the bubbler--I'm more interested in our attitudes toward language....

Jeez, when I suggested that I got my fucking head handed to me. FC is great, Fuck Combustion comes across a bit ... harsh. I cannot see any loss of sales from having FC vs FuckCombustion but apparently this is a derfinate minority thought.

I love the words Fuck Combustion.The word FUCK is a kick in the arse to the fun police.Lets not worry about their nonsense.Its just a word not a bad one,a very good one and we should honour it.

better hurry up before its banned to use it or say it in public

reminds me of this guy

So you like it when people tell you to fuck off you fuck? I don't like that. Not something I generally say - bad words habit - FC is innocuous. If it's for users of this site, we all know the name. If it is advertizing to others. ... I don't like any glass to have ink on it but that's hard to find...

I like it more than if they'd told me to "Eff off you Eff"

I just think it's to many letters for a label. The bubbler is going to have to be huge. It's gonna cover the entire length of it or the font will be so small people have to get close to even know what it says.

Looks like a majority, almost 50% for this:

The size is almost like above as the downstem is pretty short.
PV

just to clarify, this is aprox. font size for it to go on the downstem?

I say it bangs! that would be the most tasteful place to do it... not in your face, but once you see it on the downstem it would be a total conversation point!

I would like it to read
Fuck Combustion.
--------------------^ that period is a must for me

It's not offensive, put it on there.

Much ado about nothing.

We've had at least 2 FC bubblers come out already (lev FC lattice, & GBD showerhead) and another on the way (PV showerhead)

I was referencing the 2 last comments. This thread was started in regard to the PV bub.

Yeah!

Don't worry, Jeppy. I was following along, just fine.

 

[Frederick McGuire]

My bad then,
I thought this was a general fc Bub preference thing...

Move along folks, nothing to see here

 

[placetime]

fwiw, i always thought of this thread as being about what to put on any "fc bubbler", not one particular bubbler

 

[Jeppy]

Well, it couldn't pertain to Lev's because his piece started shipping like a day after this thread was started. Additionally, this thread was started after deliberation on the PV FC bubbler thread. Page 8

Personally, I hate any text on a pipe that isn't artistic or the name of the artist/brand ("patent pending" on Goldstein pieces for example). I'd prefer either a clear bubbler, or just the letters FC.

 

[thesoloman]

wait sense this is a PV bubbler it should just read FC. keep it short n simple
