Meh, I look at it as a chance to review liver pathology. It's a good workout for my questionable brain. And now I get thoracic trauma as well...I probably owe Zeni a debt of gratitude for helping me to stave off dementia for another day.

I wonder if he has varices...

No. To be quite honest, I never really saw the appeal.

That is a most excellent question.

I have jumper cables. Don't tempt me.

Fuck you. I personally am about as anonymous as they come.

Depends. You may have cracked your sternum, or you may have bruised your heart (inevitable if you did indeed crack your sternum), neither of which can be acertained without diagnostic testing - or on autopsy (bruising of the heart can cause myocardial irritability, which can lead to potentially lethal arrhythmias.) Additionally, your clotting profile is probably a freak show right about now, so internal bleeding isn't out of the question. tl;dr Call somebody in real life; anonymous message boards are a bad place to get medical advice, especially in an emergency.

But does one judge an author by who he influences, or on who influenced him? (Genuine question, born of ignorance - I took exactly one English course in college.)

Can you really consider Nabakov an American writer, though? (Just because the plot of Lolita sounds vaguely like the illegitimate offspring of Chris Hansen and Jerry Springer doesn't make it an American novel, even if Jeremy Kyle is off the air.)

Oh, yeah. No hills in Florida.

Get the stick - you can paint the jeep. I drove a stick in Orlando for about 5 years. It's not a big deal even in traffic once you get back in the groove. (Granted, it was a Saturn, which was very forgiving, but still...)

To heck with the color, get the stick.

You get a like because we don't have an "ohgodno" reaction for the thought of a bucket of crickets , but ohgodno 😱

Could be worse. At least crickets aren't spiders.

They'll probably constipate the ever loving shit out of one (so to speak).

I think that those are one of the gifts that you get when you join AARP (along with a handy pill organizer and an attractive fanny pack), so sometime after 55. (Haven't joined, so can't actually confirm.)

Report cards are in - I am passing 3rd grade!

Post-op gas. I have taken care of women who've had kids and kidney stones; all of them told me that kidney stones were a lot worse.

No.

Now I have seen this, and cannot unsee it.

Berenstain. You're welcome.

Who listens to the music? (I'm usually concentrating on the dialogue.)

I used to watch that with my kids back in the day...between that & having Gargoyles on Disney, I can have 90's flashbacks.
