My birth hospital has a lame street address, but its area of responsibility covers 52% of the Earth's surface area. How cool is that? Or, how interminable must the lines be?
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
On any given day, Tripler has approximately 209 hospital beds available.
That's a weird stat. I mean, I can't work out if it's good or bad.

It's occurred to me that my mother's porn name would be either Bitsy or Boots Forrest. (I'm not sure which dog came first. And I'm not going to call her and say, "I'm trying to figure out your porn name. Which was your first dog?)

Huh. I Googled a little more, and my birth hospital was the only hospital between Pittsburgh and Cincinatti when it opened in 1850.
Which is even cooler/stranger when you realize it was in Virginia at the time.

IIRC, it's on Broadway. But I don't know anyone who was born there, nor even whether they have a Maternity unit.My dh was born there. I have no idea if they still have a materinity unit, though.
I think the name of my hospital's street might well be Hospital Hill, which well. Just no.

Well, it seems you'd have no waiting -- but that's a lot of emptiness.
Two things I must note:
- My computer is very slow
- Announcing you have a new catchphrase and including the etymology when no one asked is LAME.

In his novel Crash J.G. Ballard talks about the many many empty beds at the airport hospital, all basically waiting for a major disaster.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm Pretty Boy Vogler. Huh. Or Snooky Vogler.
Is it just me or does this sound like a hobbit porn name?

Did anyone watch 24 last night?
Dh knew Erin's daughter was going to off herself. I figured she was just slipping free, and going to wreak havoc in CTU, before being shipped off to a private hospital. I felt so bad for Erin, and I don't even like Erin. Curtis turned out to be more than a computer geek. I loved it. Dinah is a liar pants, but we knew that. I'm so glad Tony has been around. I wish they'd bring Michelle back, too.
