RANT: Roll 2d20 to Enter the Dungeon of Hypertrophy

Doesn't it bother you, even insult your intelligence, that you bought and had to read 300 pages of something to come to that obvious conclusion?

It would if I had bought it. Like I said, I skimmed through a friend's copy once.

When I changed jobs a few months ago, my former supervisor got me a copy Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.

"Oh, wow. THANKS."



Woulda been happier with a gold chain and a FUBU sweater.

Lulz. I actually did that last night right before heading home, so that it would be there to greet the folks who get in earlier than I do.

I'm trying to decide if I should stick with Fox in Socks or move to another book for today.

Watching an old episode of "The Sopranos". Tony finishes up with his Russian mistress and lights up a cigar. She grabs a book from the nightstand.

"What are you reading?"

"'Chicken Soup for the Soul'."

"You should read the Italian version - 'Tomato Sauce for your Ass'."


Lol'd @ the coinicidence.

I'm suddenly wishing that
1) I brought my umbrella into the office this morning rather than leaving it in the car
and
2) I wasn't wearing a white shirt

I need to re-watch The Sopranos. It's been way too long since I've seen it.

Richie and Janice's engagement gets "called off" at the end of this one.

We buried him. On a hill. Overlooking a little river. With pine cones all around.

My department manager has a whiteboard outside her office that she puts "inspirational" quotes on from time to time. She's on vacation this week and tasked me with continuing this in her absence.

All week I've been putting up Dr. Seuss quotes.

That's amazing.

Btw, Dom, my appendix had torn and was starting to leak. A little gangrene had set in.


Before the surgery, I told the doctor about the other two flare ups I had experienced. She expressed some concern that the procedure might be more difficult than normal because of that. Turns out she was right. Since the infection had been there for so long, the small intestine drooped down and tried to cover my appendix in order to protect it. She was just about to abandon the laparoscopy and cut me open when she peeled open enough layers of my small intestine and found my appendix attached to it. So, she had to take her time trmming it off of the intestine before removing.

And that's how you turn a 15 min. procedure into a two hour one.

And all of this for an organ we don't even focking need.

[jmonty]

damn!!

[GeneralSerpant]

Who's to say there isn't another Mrs Soprano? I mean, not with all the fears and the paranoia..

There aren't very many one-liners I remember from the show. I remember most of the hits & attempted hits and subplots. Anyway, that was a good episode.

I think the most refreshing character to be bumped off was Ralph.

Still a few episodes away from that one, I believe.

Most of the one-liners I recall come from Junior. Funniest character by far, IMO.


Ralphie was a depraved bastard. Great character.

heeeey bacala

Wow, really glad to hear you're okay Lenco. It can get serious fast once it ruptures and that explains why you had a fever and chills.

GI issues are serious business. My grandfather died after the hospital they took him to dismissed severe abdominal pain as constipation and didn't do any tests until it was too late. In the end it was something called mesenteric ischemia. I won't go into how upsetting it was to watch him die and know it could have been easily diagnosed and treated, but the point is when something goes wrong down there it can be deadly.

What's the recovery time?

[darinaldi]

So Lenco, does the fact that the doc operated on your intestines means that you're now marginally less full of sh*t than you used to be?

The only one I wish they didn't bump off so early was Big Puss.

Damn.

No driving for 3-4 days. No lifting for two weeks. Pretty much just take it easy until I feel like doing more and more.

Didn't have to cut away any intestines, so I'm still as full of shit as you are of cawks.
