I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

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

I'm rather miffed that cartilage apparently doesn't regenerate. Because it doesn't have a blood supply. This is not good design, Evolution.

Stupid Design! Proof of Godlessness!

If it's any consolation my cartilage seems to be evaporating any old way without Volcano interference. Practically grinding bone on bone in my knees and I don't suppose chugging glucosamine will do much.

I don't suppose that's any consolation at all.

What I mean to say is: Fuck! I am very sorry you need to be bolted back together.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

David, yeah, it was probably going to happen someday anyway. I've been taking a glucosamine supplement for years to stave off the inevitable. I do think it works, but it may not be up to the task of complete regeneration! Sorry about your knees! Seems like they could replace cartilage with cartilage from a cadaver, if there's no blood supply it seems like there would be little to no concern about rejection. But I am not a doctor, so what do I know.

Lots of ankle-ma Zen. Sorry there are so many problems.

It is, but apparently Congress can overrule him, which they did last year. So I'm hoping for that. The 1.9% will be nice, but the 25% increase in locality pay will be great, if we can get it...

It's just so... overt. Blow a big hole in the budget with a massive tax cut that mostly benefits the wealthy, then cite the budget as a reason to freeze federal employee pay while the economy is growing pretty decently though middle and lower class wages are stagnate.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Boo, Zen! I hope it gets fixed for good.

ION, the new season of GBBO is available on YouTube. For now.

Oh Zen. I hope your ankle ends up being fixed.

Speaking as someone else with a ridiculously high pain tolerance: it's not always helpful, is it? Sure, it makes getting tattoos super easy, but telling if something is actually wrong and should maybe be concerned about? Not so much.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm amazed by those of you with high pain tolerance. I am the biggest baby in babyland. Alas, I also can't tolerate pain killers.

ION, Chaka Khan was amazing singing at the Aretha service. Wow!

Ugh. I kinda hate it when my wife has me call for ISP support when I'm not on location. They ask me to do stuff and I'm like 'yeah, I can't actually do that.'

Especially when I'm at work.
