The dream is always the same. Instead of going home, I go to the neighbours...

The B.A.D.^TM

The American Dream gone horribly wrong...

The deal went down this morning. I had my blood drawn at 7:48 this morning, now it's time to sit back and wait to see how much time I have left on the planet. I went to the gym and ran on the treadmill for 2 hours this morning just to make sure my blood had all those nasty impurities burned out and whatnot, so I'm hoping for the best. I must say it's a right bitch to have to fast for 12 hours before having blood taken, especially when you nearly kill yourself at the gym, then have to wait for an hour and a half before you can even have a cup of coffay, let alone a giant sausage McMufin.

In case you live under a rock you may have missed the news yesterday that Ben "I don't need no stinkin helmet" Rothlessburgher smashed his motorbike into some poor woman's car. The ironic thing here is that ol Ben has been rather outspoken about the fact that he likes to ride sans helmet. One has to wonder how he feels about that now that he's got a broken face.

I'm sorry I missed the WFC2. I actually started an entry, in fact I wrote the best 200 words ever written in what was surely the the beginning of what would have been The Great American Novel^tm, then time got away from me and the next thing you know the deadline has passed. I'm pretty sure the same thing happened to Hemingway when he was starting out as a famous writer so I guess it's no big deal.

I've got some kinda pasta salad along with a chicken sammich for lunch today, even though I could eat me a big ol vat of fat if I wanted too. Actually since I'm visiting the good Doctor Bombay on Thursday, and she might spring a surprise blood test on me, (she's done that in the past) I think it may be wise to wait until Thursday eve to eat some crap food.

Bob, by sasquatchan (2.00 / 0) #1 Tue Jun 13, 2006 at 12:56:40 PM EST

did you drink lots of water before your blood was drawn ? Because, you know, you dillute out the bad stuff if you do.. Might want to let Dr. Bombay know that, while she's checking your prostate. ps. Make sure you get the hernia exam, too..

And careful, didn't Hemingway pull a Kurt Cobaine, and drink the hemlock tea ? Or was that strychnine ? I forget, but those depressed artsy folk are rather boring, if you ask me.

rere: ben, yeah, yeah, been hearing about it since 'round 2pm yesterday.

rererere: nethack, play any of those games ?

: I had a quart of water for breakfast by Bob Abooey (2.00 / 0) #4 Tue Jun 13, 2006 at 01:26:47 PM EST

Actually Hemingway used a shotgun, he was leaving nothing to chance.
I dug Hemingway. I mean, the guy was nuts, he volunteered to be an ambulance driver at the front for cripes sake.
re: Ben == the Stoopid.
re: I've been having a hard time getting into nethack as of late, so I'm not partaking at the moment. I've saved them so when the next phase hits me I'll load em up.

Big Ben by duxup (4.00 / 1) #2 Tue Jun 13, 2006 at 01:05:19 PM EST

While driving to work I heard the tape of Terry Bradshaw talking about how stupid it is to drive like that. I loath Terry Bradshaw, but even so he was spot on and perhaps it isn’t the proper spirit but it was a fun clip to listen to this morning.

I like Bradshaw by Bob Abooey (4.00 / 2) #5 Tue Jun 13, 2006 at 01:29:52 PM EST

He's a whack job, but I always liked him. In fact I heard him on the Jim Rome show a few years ago and he was talking about his life struggles and stuff and it was pretty touching.

That said, he's an old guy by now and old guys are always right about stuff like that.

You didn't have to fast from clear fluids by lm (4.00 / 1) #3 Tue Jun 13, 2006 at 01:15:24 PM EST

Coffee and Tea (along with water) are both fine for drinking before a cholesterol test. They don't have a high enough caloric content unless you adulterate their pure goodness with cream, sugar or some other additive. But since you're not a girly-man, I don't think that you would do that anyway.

Water is okay by Bob Abooey (4.00 / 1) #7 Tue Jun 13, 2006 at 01:37:21 PM EST

But coffee can skew the results.

I'm not risking it either way.

According to? by lm (2.00 / 0) #12 Tue Jun 13, 2006 at 02:27:23 PM EST

Anyone can link to a random web page supporting his or her point.

Sometimes more than one.

Show me a link that explains how coffee and tea affect the outcome of a cholesterol test and I'll start paying attention.

: Well by Bob Abooey (2.00 / 0) #13 Tue Jun 13, 2006 at 02:36:53 PM EST

All I know is that The Cleveland Clinic, which is where I got my test, which just happens to be the leading hospital system on the whole planet with regards to heart stuff, says to have nothing but water for 12 hours prior to testing.
QED.
I'll ask Dr. Bombay to see if she knows why coffee can skew the result.

not the PC thing to say right now, but by alprazolam (4.00 / 5) #6 Tue Jun 13, 2006 at 01:36:19 PM EST

Ben's a moron for not wearing a helmet. Period.

I agree by Bob Abooey (4.00 / 3) #8 Tue Jun 13, 2006 at 01:47:23 PM EST

He's one lucky son of a dog that all he got was a broken head.

You gotta be some kinda stupid to ride a bike with no helmet.

not here maybe by alprazolam (2.00 / 0) #14 Tue Jun 13, 2006 at 02:37:19 PM EST

the Cowboys forum I read had a 200 post thread on the subject less than 15 minutes after the news broke. Not a lot going on for the football junkies to talk about.

: NPR had a Penn politician by DesiredUsername (2.00 / 0) #15 Tue Jun 13, 2006 at 02:38:38 PM EST

who basically said the same thing. When a politician says it (and doesn't end up out of a job), it is PC by definition.

I'm on a motorcycle forum now by webwench (4.00 / 2) #16 Tue Jun 13, 2006 at 05:21:34 PM EST

where, in one thread, a bunch of them are all up in arms about how this idiot cager pulled out in front of our poor QB, how it wasn't his fault and it could have happened to anyone, etc. While in another thread on the same forum, he is being lambasted for being helmetless, for saying things like 'well if it was unsafe the state would require me to wear a helmet, durr', for ignoring his coach, for riding too fast, and for riding a 'busa, a black one at that.

It's a little weird, actually.

Their a pretty good idea, but just like seatbelts, I don't think it should be the law.

Bob, why do you want idiots to live? by Rogerborg (4.00 / 1) #9 Tue Jun 13, 2006 at 01:58:04 PM EST

Do you want them spawning more of their gigantic idiot children, who, after 99% of them fail to make it into professional sports, will take to mugging you for your whey money?

Here in Soviet UKistan where we are all our brothers' keepers, forcing people to not become a burden on the health system makes sense. Over in your more advanced lands where poor people get a week tops before being unplugged, what's the benefit to keeping idiots alive and in non-vegetative breeding fettle?

Speaking of which, good plan on the Doctor Bombay thing. If you fool her, then she won't be able to put you on life saving meds. That'll show the bitch.

It's an Americian thing by Bob Abooey (2.00 / 0) #10 Tue Jun 13, 2006 at 02:17:56 PM EST

We're all about freedom and rights and whatnot. If you want to run with scissors we don't think it's a good idea, but we'll love you just the same after you trip and fall and lose an eye.

re: It's all about the side effects. They get you on these life saving drugs and your nuts shrivel up while your hair falls out. What kind of life is that?

No seriously. I know I've led you astray in the past, but you gotta ask for it.
