"Uhm, pass me that bone cutter please. No, the bigger one...."
From my dentist to her assistant about two hours into my session yesterday.
"I'm going to feel this later," I thought. And it was oh so true.

How IS your friend, Dayliner. Sorry if I've missed some other update. Still, How is your friend?

Thanks for asking. It hasn't been a very good couple of weeks. Found out Wednesday after an MRI that it wasn't a congenital vein problem (AVN) that caused the bleeding but was a tumor. He and his wife are heading back to the UK tonight to start treatment.

quote of the day from my old, corny boss:
"You've heard about my eclectic music taste right? I listen to everything from Beethoven to Static-X...but no rap. Never rap."

Ah! But he listens to static-x! Kill him!

Even I have a low tolerance for burp-metal.

Good God! There is such a thing as "burp metal?!!!
LTFOL!!!

I've been listening to metal for some time now, and I've never heard of "burp metal". Also, what's wrong with Static-X?

They're burp metal.

Burp metal wouldn't be a genre that you invented just to describe Static-X, would it?

No.

Slayer as well.

That shit band I saw after a really good band.

Mudvayne.

You get the idea.

Ah! But you admit that it IS a genre you invented?

Of course. All the good genres are invented by me.

Wow. That last post was my 4444th post.

Nice one!

With regard to "burp metal", we'll have to agree to disagree. I happen to like all the bands you mentioned!

My four-year-old son, bleary-eyed waking mid-sleep for a pee, notices that his big brother had been in the toilet before him:
"Oh God! I wish people in the house would flush the toilet after they go for a poo!"
Cracked me up.
And then the same one, this morning on the way to school, out of the blue says:
"When I was in mommy's tummy, I ate everything she ate except wine, because I was too young."

At lunch today we were discussing a friend of mine's e-bay nipple-tassle business, and one of my collegues said;

"Nipple tassles? I don't think I've ever come across a pair of those before"

without realising the collosal double entendre he'd just made.

"I like their stuff, but not dealing with theirs saleswomen. They tend to be very annoying."
