Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Apparently it wasn't steroids.

It was Clomid (or rather something similar): [link]

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

The medical museum turned out to be rather diverting. I got to mock the dominant discourse with my professor. Which is more fun than it sounds.

Klingon uses prefixes rather than suffixes, and instead of having six or seven of them, like most romance languages, it has 29

Reminds me of Welsh...

It's been a hard day. There will now be watching of TV shows that I've been saving for such a day.

I wonder how many follicles he got on this round?

I am down, because of sad newspaper and people-I-know medical stories (face transplant, prostate cancer, melanoma). Why the world gotta be so sad, man?

I stand firmly in the ML baseball is a mess corner. I should also add the banners of the NFL, NBA, NHL and greater NCAA to that corner, although some of those bodies do a more admirable job at trying to keep things clean.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It was Clomid (or rather something similar):

Which apparently is something you use at the end of a steroids cycle, though it has testosterone boosting effects of its own.

It's telling that he's just accepting the suspension and apologizing.

Sucks. I was enjoying the effect Manny had on the Dodgers, even as I root against them.

Emmett's going to be so bummed. I hate telling him. It's just been one disillusionment after another for him. He used to have a Bonds headline taped to his door, when Barry hit a game winning home run after returning from his father's funeral. Now everytime he sees Barry on TV he starts yelling, "Cheater! Cheater! Mr. Tinyballs!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Deadspin story on the Manny situation (which I didn't really read because, baseball) Anyway: [link]

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

If you play professional sports, shouldn't you *check*? It's an adverse drug interaction. With your job.

The Union has been advising them to only take drugs from the team doctor. I'm pretty sure Manny knew he was cheating and didn't take this drug by accident. And I say that as a Manny fan who would rather believe he's capable of putting up Hall of Fame numbers without assistance.
