If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Random question: Is is common for someone who has surgery to get a copy of the operative notes?

Punishingly Intricate

Whenever Owen sees adverts for Horton Hears a Who (the film and the IHOP tie-in) he covers his ears. He did the same thing with the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie late last year.

Are there very high-pitched sounds in the ad? (like I'm thinking the Chipmunks movie one would have had)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I got the notes from my surgery last year, and very interesting they were. To me, anyway.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Maybe. He's very sensitive to sounds, but he doesn't seem to mind other annoying, high pitched sounds (I'm looking at you, Elmo). I've been trying to track what bothers him most but there doesn't seem to be any pattern (at least that's evident to me).

I got asked what kind of screws got put in my leg. I refrained from saying, "How the hell should I know?"

They need to know if the screws are "MRI-safe." (Which means "non-magnetic".) If not, an MRI could cause serious injury.

Anyway, they're contacting the hospital where I had the surgery....

I didn't get notes from my surgery. My surgery didn't involve metal, though.

WTF? I mean, in 6th grade a bunch of people rose spontaneously and shut the teacher in the coat closet (it had doors like a garage), but it was more of a joke on him. Especially since he was a big burly man who could have gotten out at any time.

No, it is alphabetization or nothing. I have spoken.

If the subject requires a glossary, I don't think it's a good idea to force people to interpret your organizational logic simply to get at what the goddamn words mean. If it requires an effort, most people just aren't going to do it.

The only surgery I've ever had was oral.

I feel like that comment deserves a rimshot.
