I am going to start using "by Grabthar's hammer" on a regular basis. I find it works best with a shaken fist.
Gosh, I thought it was more of an oath than a curse--isn't the whole line something like, "By Grabthar's hammer, I will avenge thee"? Regardless, it's always good to be prepared to be on "Inside the Actor's Studio." That James Lipton guy has a nice word for everyone.
Ah, yes. . . Of course it's an oath. But when one has a sixth-month-old who's beginning to babble some word-like sounds, one must be creative, especially when my alternative tends to be "f**k!" (See? I can't even type it here because the little guy is sitting next to me.) Besides, I think it'll be really cute when Lucas is a year or so old and is shouting "By Grabthar's hammer!" :)
I love it when James Lipton quizes people! Good answers!
As parents, we learn quickly. I remember a (thankfully) short-lived moment with the Painter who, when frustrated by some toy, took to calling it this fucket thing! It was quite a lot of work not to complete lose it when he did that. We resisted, and he's dropped it. :)
