jim hawkins Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 MRSA - Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Okay I had to google that, its been a looong time since I was a biology major.
blackjohn Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Yeah, it "killed" the elderly lady in the room next to my mom first. Then it moved on to each of the adjoining rooms. I'm not sure how many it "killed" in that ward while she was there, but suffice to say it contributed to the deaths of more people than would have died otherwise. And the nurses and doctors... at Hopkins... did they follow proper sterilization procedures... eh... never mind. Hey, would you like to buy a sword? How's this for a deal... $120... and a pack of Keebler fudge stripe cookies! It's in my car down in the garage... My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
jim hawkins Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Didnt drive today and carrying sword on subway = bad Keebler fudge stripe cookies you say? I'll be right over.
Caraccioli Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 And well you should, Car, since media as we now know it, unfortunately, has turned into some form of alternate entertainment. "These are the times that try our souls."-Jimmy Buffett The stuff that I patently recognizable as being biased (ie. blatant entertainment) doesn't bother me that much. I know what they're trying to pull. It's the stuff that poses as being "balanced news" that is really just a thinly disguised attempt to alter my opinion. I find that offensive. (I find most attempts to subtly or (what I perceive as) underhandedly abridge my freedom or sneakily alter my opinions sort of offensive. It's one thing if I know going in that they're trying to alter my opinion, but when they sneak it in there...that's just underhanded and deceitful.) As for the quote...well, that reminds me of a Patton pun. During the invasion of Sicily, General Patton was getting ready to take Palermo. He checked with the weather forecasters who told him it would be incredibly rainy that day. So he issued an order to place copies of The New York Times at the back of his troops' personnel transports. His staff was mystified. Why The Times? But Patton was adamant, and no one wanted to argue with him. As five tons of old copies of The Times were loaded, the General said to the war correspondents: "These are The Times that dry men's soles." (Oh, that was bad. Punning is the lowest form of humor. Good ol' George S.) "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
Caraccioli Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 I have fond memories of Walter Reed... the Little Shop of Horrors... first place I ever got to see up close and personal like someone's internal organs... lungs, liver, pancreas... and someone's brain. And that wasn't even in the museum. The museum has such things as... the elephantiasis infected leg in a jar, and countless other things best left unmentioned in polite company. That display Our Body: The Universe Within is on display here in the Detroit Science Museum. I first came across this in last year's Bond flick and I want to go see it. I was going to ask this girl I know, but then thought the better of it. So I'll probably just go by myself. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
Dennis "the blue" Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 random thought..... today I was contemplating many things great and small. Why am I here? What are we to do here? Then I thought of all the great thinkers that have come before me, Socrates and Einstein to name a couple. What did they think or know that we don't or haven't. Then a thought came upon me..... I want a nutty buddy and a pepsi.

Ransom Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 I agree! Not so random thought... Just got through listening and watching Sting's DVD The Journey & The Labyrinth - The Music of John Dowland. AWESOME!!! Totally blown away. If I had the money, I would buy all my friends this CD DVD combo. If you have HDTV, like we do, it's as if you have a magic window to a labyrinth, the crypt of a church, and Sting's amazing 16th century manor house. So close you think you can smell the herbs, the beeswax of the candles, and touch the singers. Incredible. BUY THIS SET!!! ***So, can ya tell I liked it?*** ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you. But if you're a good navigator, a least you'll know where you were when you died.......From The Ship Killer by Justin Scott.

Ransom Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Oh, please, let's not go there! (note exclamation point) ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Dennis "the blue" Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Tonight for my random thought I think I'll answer one of my letters from one of my many fans. Let’s reach in the bag..... *rustle*swoosh*paper shuffling*(sorry my sound effect guys out of town) Oh look a letter. Dear Dennis "the blue" My name is Tommy. I am 9. I think you are cool. You are my second favorite pirate. Jack Sparrow, you, and Captain Crunch are my top three pirates. What is your favorite cartoon and why? How did you get the nickname "the blue"? I hope to hear from you. Tommy Johnson Middlesex, Pa Thank you Tommy for your letter. I'm not sure if I would consider Captain Crunch a pirate or a naval officer but we'll go past that. To answer your questions I'll start with the first one first. My favorite cartoon would be the Road Runner and Willie Coyote. Reason for this is that it is simply a great metaphor for the middle class American trying to reach its dream of being rich. Thus the Coyote is middle class America and the road runner the life of luxury. We try to use get rich quick ideas only to have it blow up in our faces, just as the Acme products do in the face of the Coyote. I could be looking too much into this but I don't believe so. Now for your second question, I wear all blue DUH! Thanks again Tommy for your letter. You will receive an autographed 8x10 from Spank da Monkey, plus a one size fits most "I'm a Dennis "the blue" fan how about you?" T-shirt in the mail shortly. These items and many others are available at our online store. So remember every one till next time, same random time, and same random place. GOOD NIGHT!
Rogue Mermaid Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Hmm, Capt' Crunch as a pirate.... Maybe he could go through a Commadore Norrington period and go bad for alittle while.
PirateSSe Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 My husband teases me about himself buying and wearing a Norrington wig. I retort, "You don't want to be doing that now, do you?"
Red Cat Jenny Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Oh but you could have so much fun corrupting him into the second version of Norrington.... Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...
CrazyCholeBlack Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Too bad Captain Crunch just gets soft.
