Nancy,

I saw you over on Romenesko and I just have to say:

Beer Butt Chicken!!

I’m quite sure that nobody knows you like a housekeeper, which is why I clean my own house to the dirt tolerance that I can reach and deal with (as opposed to the optimal level of cleanliness that could be achieved by a competent professional cleaner). The only way I want anybody to know me that well is if I marry him.

I did the nasal septoplasty last year, with all of the yucky gauze. They also included nasal splints that felt like they were the size of loaves of bread when they were removed. Nearly as nasty as the gauze. I don’t know if it made a difference as to why they used gauze and splints with me or not, but I also had several sinus passages roto-rooted as well as some enlarging of sinus openings. Mighty gross at the time, but it ended the sinus infection that I had for 2+ years. I sing much better now, too.

Like Facebook, I don’t quite get it, but maybe I can figure it out.

Up ’til the last issue of Time magazine, I’d never heard of 4chan, which is said to be the La Brea tar pit of the internet; or a kind of internet portal wherein cultural matter and anti-matter swirl about, interacting in a technically unexplainable and yet intrinsically and definitively “it” sort of way.

The place was founded by a 15 year old(!!) who is now 20 (or maybe 21), and goes by the name “moot”.

I read the article in much the same way an orangutan might examine a lap-top computer

I’m twittered…not sure what I’ll do with it. Probably be like my Facebook account, it will sit there.

“ahhh, nasal septoplasty, and packing materials.

Good times. Good times.”

I did that 2 years ago….no packing. My ENT said he did not understand why his colleagues continued to use gauze packing for this surgery. Sure there is lots of nastyiness that comes out of your nose but there was never the yanking of the gauze.

He’s older than me! By eight months!

But yeah, I changed the link myself an hour ago. Their search function is fubar, however.

I liked when Harry, during a Cubs telecast, was talking about one of his buddies who had recently expired: “One night you’re out there drinkin’ and laughin’, and the next morning: stone-cold dead!”

Wow, Danny, that Seger line came to my mind as well. Then I thought of Harry Caray, and what he used to say late in those Friday afternoon games when Arnie Harris would inevitably pan the WGN cameras on the bleachers and find some young lass bursting out of her top. “Ohhh-ta-be 21 and know what I know now.” That, of course, calls to mind my all-time favorite mutiple-Budweiser-inspired Harryism: “How the hell does a kid from Mexico lose a ball in the sun!”
