The use of the phrase "kick ass" below is a regrettable lapse in our general Wombat File "no kick-ass" policy. It is a long-cherished belief here at the file that we would never, even in an unguarded moment, discuss the manner in which something rocks or rules, is the shit or -- even in the spirit of faux-hip irony-- da bomb. And yet, there it is, on this very ordinary January day. We have unmistakably decreed that the Clean "kick ass". And though we would like to use our editorial power to wipe the offending phrase from the otherwise frat-language-free surface of this particular browser window, we must let it stand. Testimony to the power of an early-morning listen to "Point that Thing Somewhere Else" to override all decorum.
