I am particularly curious about the rules regarding profanity. I have some poetry I'd like to publish, but this piece I'm thinking of has two well placed f-bombs. Is such a piece allowed?

Okay, I'm not *really* stuck. I'm just doing laundry. Why not put the load in and come back up to civilization, you ask? 'Cause my lazy butt lives on the 3rd floor! Down three flights, put wash in, up 3, wait, down 3 again,...
