What happened to the headline: "Those terrorist bastards now they're using needle fish!" You're slipping!

That would explain his crotchtal area all puckered up.

The guy who went to the hospital 5 DAYS after a fish jumped in his eye? Did he think it would just work itself out?

Even more troubling are these two adjacent penis-related articles:
Fish In Penis and Penis-Eating Fish
If you don't mind, I'll be in a fetal position in the corner.

"The fish caused a serious injury to the optic nerve as it tried to flap free"
I had a bunch of scary eye surgery a while ago, and I thought I was pretty blah-zay about this stuff, but I'm going to bed now, with a steel stock pot over my head.
Posted by: Betsy | January 28, 2009 at 09:27 PM
Nite, nite, Betsy. Make sure you don't breathe into the pot. The humidity can combine with the metals in the pot and give you a nasty infection.
Kidding...nite nite!

Boogers big as fish.

Needlefish in the eye? What happened to the camel in the the eye of the needle? Is there a Third Testament now or something? I can't keep up with this stuff.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | January 28, 2009 at 10:16 PM
It's all fun and games until...

Finally, after all the tiresome press about shark attacks, a needlefish-in-the-face story.

Oh, yeah, Tonga "Piu" Loumouli, I know him. He's from Tonga. OK, leedle bit of a hygiene problem, I guess. Not so bad outdoors. 'Course, he won't go outdoors now. Thinks the birds'll get him next. Never shoulda given him that Hitchcock DVD for Christmas. Kinda tough on his Mom. Sensitive nose, y'know.
What were we talking about?
Oh, yeah, needle in the eye, Rush in your ear. Similar. Not identical situations, just similar.

Cheesewiz, if I thought you weren't being sarcastic, I'd offer my guest room :-)

Nasty,nasty storm.I have a lot of snow to move and it all has about an inch of frozen crust on top.I'll be a while on this one.
Posted by: ron | January 29, 2009 at 04:48 AM
Ron - take it slow and easy.and watch the footing. In addition to the sheer exertion that kind of task takes, it's slippery as all hell.
We got around 6 inches of heavy wet stuff with rainy sleet on top yesterday. I took two really hard tumbles in my steeply sloped driveway while trying to clear it. (It's too steep for a snowblower). I got it done, but if I were twenty years older, I'm pretty sure they'd be replacing my hip now.
Lots of sand, or anythimg you've got for traction - the kind that keeps you upright, not the kind that keeps you immobilized while your bones heal.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | January 29, 2009 at 06:57 AM
that's the real reason florida is covered with sand. it's for traction. and to throw in needlefishie's eyes when they're trying to attack.
Posted by: crossgirl | January 29, 2009 at 07:23 AM
Meanie---We have about 8 inches here,then a little rain which froze into a hard crust.I finally realized that I had to break up the crust and throw the pieces aside so I could shovel the snow underneath.I'm 90%done now.
Posted by: ron | January 29, 2009 at 07:47 AM
My roof rake broke this morning. Time to move south.

Cowprintrabbit:
Sarcasm is truly the weapon of the weak. So yes, I was being sarcastic.
Posted by: Cheesewiz | January 29, 2009 at 08:45 AM
I finally broke down and bought a snow-blower this year. I'm getting too old for this shoveling stuff.
The 6 heart attacks in a 2 hour window during the last big dump (all men shoveling) may have had something to do with the decision.
Posted by: Buford | January 29, 2009 at 11:21 AM
Meanie - use a backhoe, ya big silly.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 29, 2009 at 12:53 PM
Nothing wrong with 6 inches, Meanie. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise ;-)
