I would commit a small crime to get a free spa day. maybe a wee bit of the tax refund can go towards this.

I think you should all do a study on the efficacy of massages in preventing/treating neck cancer.
In a wierd convergence: There's an organization here that partnered with a women's spa to give cancer patients five free massages. I took advantage of that service after radiation and it was the best ever. I can highly recommend massage as a treatment for cancer.
Oh, christ, I need to schedule a massage too. That's going to be interesting.
Maybe a massage would keep my neck muscles from tensing to the point that my skull actually pops off the top of my spinal column.
Worth a shot.
And the look on my masseuse's face if it doesn't work would still be pretty cool.
Not that I'd be able to enjoy it.
Regarding Kalshane's obscure holiday, St. Urho's Day, I have received celebratory e-mails from several Finnish colleagues today, so I now know how to say "Happy St. Urho's Day" in Finnish: "Hyvää Pyhän Urhon päivää!" They do like their umlauts.
That, or the flourescent lights.
Frank understands.
After her surgery will we call her bon "no-neck" bon?
But I really really want a brain, so I'm willing to throw a right eye into the pot.
No, no -- keep the eye. I'd just have to get new glasses, and let's face it, you're not getting one of those fancy, newfangled, top-of-the-line brains fresh from the factory, here.
Wow. That's a lot of umlauts. Sadly my understanding of Finnish is limited to haistaa napa and paha poika. (Though the latter always sounded like "baha boika" when my grandmother said it.)
After her surgery will we call her bon "no-neck" bon?
After surgery I would appreciate it if people would avoid staring at my disfigurement or referring to it in any way. You may thereafter refer to me as bon "all-neck" bon.
