if this happens to you, I did discover that you can actually ice your ear canal with frozen broccoli stems!
I am very very sorry for your pain and discomfort but I will have to treasure the image of you with frozen broccoli poking out of your ears.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

That tops the summer I spent most evenings wearing a bag of peas on my head b/c my ac was broke!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Oh, you can mock me all you want, because it is hysterical. And brought blessed, blessed relief.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wimbledon: In no doubt thanks to the over-mention by ESPN2 I had to go check Roddick's twitter after the game (http://twitter.com/andyroddick/) and despite him seeming to update it pretty regularly before, nothing yet. Teddy bear, indeed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG Sophia.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Excellent advice, Sophia. I will make a note.
...
What? We all know it could happen to me. And I've only got frozen corn, edamame and medicinal peas. Nothing that would conveniently fit in my ear.

::must. resist. straight line...::
No responses have anything to do with Cass in particular, and everything to do with things which conveniently fit in the ear.

Jesse, at first I thought you meant the first commenter, who didn't get the point of the article and thought "It wasn't that crazy"
And then I found the crazy person.

Devi found an open box with mostly stuffed animals in it. She's slowly sinking lower and lower in it, sound asleep. MK's at my feet (he's been hanging out more downstairs,) Loki is crashed out in chair, slowly slipping out of it. Putting one of the monster ac units on energy save and a set temp of 76 upstairs with a fan directed down the stairs keeps everything under 78. I got a smaller lidded trashcan so don't have to smell that (seriously, it takes a couple days to fill a normal grocery bag now, but it smells faster, so this is perfect.)
All's right in Sara's house.
