The Pogues? We should always talk about the Pogues. Whenever we're not talking about the Pogues, it's probably a mistake.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

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
Aimée: My MIL is nuts. She sent me an email that basically said, "Joe couldn't suckle when he was born so they took an X-ray of his throat and that fixed it. His father had it, too. It's rare and the 2 doctors I asked have no idea what I'm talking about but tell your OB and your pediatrician that the magic x-ray machine fixes this thing I do not know what it's called."
amych: It explains a lot, really. The whole mutant powers thing, all of it.
The Splendiferous Sean K: Aimee, is she getting nuttier?
Aimée: Totally. Tomorrow, I'll get an email that Joe was really a girl when he was born but the magic MRI machine grew him a penis.
Cass: So is the magic MRI machine available for rental stuff?
Aimée: I'll find out. It might have clicked 3 times and gone back to Oz.
Cass: If it's only good for three times, well I have batteries that last longer.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I might as well mention this here -- one thing that will keep babies from suckling correctly is a short tendon in the front of the tongue, which is often referred to as being tongue-tied. The correction for this is a teeny cut at the underside of the tongue, which tends to upset new parents a whole lot, and I've heard of doctors advised to take the baby out of the room to do it. It wouldn't surprise me if Joe-Mom had a pediatrician who told her he was taking Baby!Joe to "get X-rayed", made the little nick, waited a few minutes for the bleeding to stop, and brought little Suckling!Enabled!Baby!Joe back to her.
Or maybe she's just getting nuttier.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It would be interesting to see what would happen if everyone engaged in this kind of occupational activism.
