WHET THY WHISTLE
I had a sandwich with onions on it for lunch, and didja ever notice how you can't get the smell of onions off your fingers, no matter how much you wash? Same thing with the stench of a hobo's nutsack. Hard to shake. Unlike a loud, attention-seeking baby, which is easy to shake. [Textual appetizer complete. Proceed to entree.]

TAKE A LOOK DEEP INSIDE ME
I had an esophagogastroduodenoscopy last week, which means a doctor put a camera into my belly and recorded the journey for posterity. Before you get all excited and start sending jellybeans, painkillers, or samplers cross-stitched with homilies of wellness, let me hip you to the routine and non-exciting nature of the procedure. (While Acid Reflux is a badass screen name for your futuristic online role-playing game character, it is also a medical condition which, while under control now, might have done some damage to my GI tract during the years it was only nominally controlled by the nonstop ingestion of Tums.) So they took a little look-see, a little fucking peekaboo.
     So after the procedure, they handed my sedative-addled, drooling self a sheet of paper and shoved me into traffic. I didn't look at it until today. Turns out it was my "Discharge Instructions" (which: heh), and at the bottom was the following admonition:
If you received any sedative or anesthetic drugs today, you should not drive nor make any major decisions for at least 24 hours.
NOW they tell me. Sheesh. I'm supposed to read instructions while sedated? Well shit. Umm....

MAJOR DECISIONS I MADE WHILE SEDATED
     • Sold all my Google stock; used money to buy lizard chow
     • Started an all Ho-Ho diet
     • Donated 1.5 kidneys (I was already in the hospital, see)
     • Shaved eyebrows, thighs
     • Began living the principle

But the fuckery of the warning continues:
If you have had an anesthetic you may experience drowsiness, difficulty in concentrating, and general uneasiness for the next one or two days.
Dude. Fuck the next one or two days -- you just described my entire fucking life. Whose cute idea was it to smear transdermal sedatives onto my pillowcase since I was like thirteen? I AM LOOKING IN YOUR DIRECTION, FATHER. NOT FUNNY.

DISALLOWED FOREVER

"I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you!"
-
"from whence"
-
"...the exception that proves the rule"
-
any use of the question "spit or swallow?"
-
the phrase "drop trou"
-
fake-o reviewer verbs:
"penned" for wrote
"helmed" for directed
"lensed" for whatever
-
"expat"
-
the euphemism
"passed away"
-
pronouncing merci beaucoup as "mercy buckets!"
(see also: "grassy-ass!")



PET PEEVES

"confinscated"
-
trying children "as adults"
-
"drownded"
-
misuse of reflexive pronouns, as when someone says "Please talk to Bob or myself." Come on people now. "Myself" is not just a fancy version of "me"! LEARN IT.
-
tattoos in the Courier font
-
any use of Comic Sans
