Actually, he said both potassium and phosphorus.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
No. He said phosphorus (which I think is stuff like milk, cheese, beans, organ meats).
So English food is out.

Compassionately intolerant
Jeff, me being of the not-tv-having stripe, I'm completely with you about the news. What utter, sensationalistic shite, most of the time.
And, I'm telling you, audio books are the stuff.
My local bookseller actually rents them to me. So I get through a $20-50 tome for 3 smacks. Such a deal!
I love Caleb Carr's The Alienist and pretty much anything read by Edward Herrmann.
Other great readers: Ed Asner (believe it or not, he does great female voices), Joe Montegna, Simon Jones (who did HGTG) and, teh god of all readers...Jim Dale.
I have all the Harry Potter books on tape and cd if you'd like to borrow them, I'd be happy to ship.

Chemists get me soooo hot.

What is even happening?
I'm now a system analyst for a hospital (irony of ironies) in the patient accounting department.That's what I used to do, long ago and far away, when hospital computers were powered by gerbils running in those little wheel thingies. In a sorta kind of coincidence, I ran the project when we had to change our registration system's logic for the Medicare questions on renal disease.

Didn't Jeff say "potassium"? If he didn't I'm decidedly not clever.
No. He said phosphorus (which I think is stuff like milk, cheese, beans, organ meats).
Actually, I said both. No oranges for me, and cheese, glorious cheese is off the list. I'm not sad about avoiding organ meats, though.

When I was in the hospital, I found myself saying, "Hm, this 'Ellen' show isn't too bad. When's 'The Price is Right' on?"
was your morphine drip set too high? :)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I have ice cream now. This is a good thing.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I want cookies.

Hmmm. Now I want morphine, ice cream and cookies.
