Gold Rush

Today the subject of Turets Syndrome came up and I explained to the kids what it was and that one of the ways that it manifests itself is that people cannot control what they are saying and that they blurt out expletives.

Background:  We used to watch this show "Gold Rush" as a family when it first came out which has been a couple of years ago.  A bunch of guys to go the Klondike and try to dig up gold.  They were a salty group of bearded guys in their 30s - 70s who in another time would have been pirates. We had many jokes about this while watching.  "This [bleep] infernal [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] dagnab [bleep][bleep][bleep][bleep][bleep][bleep]."  More bleeps per hour than any show on television.

Anyway, Caitie didn't say anything for about 30 seconds after I explained Turets.  Clearly she was processing this information.  Then she looked at me and said, "Do the guys on Gold Rush have that?"
