'Time Bomb'
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.
gross medical stuff....
As part of a course I've been taking in medical sociology, my class went to a local medical history museum a couple of weeks ago. They recreated an amputation without anaesthetic for us. In quite some graphic detail. Fun.
ETA: When I say recreated, I mean with drama and film. Not a literal recreation. Fortunately. I would not have volunteered. But that's just me.
Seekrit note to Hec: RESPECT THE WHITEFONT.
::is a sucker for gross 19th-century medical details, but feels that font color=white should be amputated without anaesthetic::

But not nearly as much fun for the intern who drew the short straw, I bet.
Ron Reagan's response to Rush Limbaugh's making fun of Nancy Pelosi's appearance:
Limbaugh hasn't had a natural erection since the Nixon Administration; think he's compensating for something? Now, I wouldn't pick on him for any of this stuff, not his blubbiness, not his man-boobs, not his inability to have a natural erection -- none of that stuff -- to me, off limits until! until! -- Mr. Limbaugh, you turn that sort of gun on somebody else -- once you start doing that, you're fair game, fat boy. Absolutely, you jiggly pile of mess. You're just fair game, and you're going to get it, too. [Laughs] You'd better watch what you say, Limbaugh, because it can come back the other way.
I just got the funniest email from my Big Boss about how she basically elbowed Al Sharpton aside so she could meet Michelle Obama. Good times.
That is kinda great, Jesse. I want to be your Big Boss.
DH was making fun of the President of Notre Dame for looking so happy to be standing next to Obama, but I have to say, if I were standing next to him I'd have a big ol' grin myself.
Timelies all!
It warmed up a bit today. Now it's more like typical May weather here.
Today was so long. Not enough hours.
lisah, I saw a post to the listserv about the Ride, but I hadn't realized it was your team! Cool.
That is kinda great, Jesse. I want to be your Big Boss.
She is awesome.
In other awesome news, I saw an offhand comment somewhere else about delivery.com, and they have stuff in my neighborhood! A medianoche is on its way to me now!
