A- I had an irritated bump on my inner thigh that got worse and worse until it was swolen and kinda grey
I was delivering food and it was summer, so my denim shorts kept irritating the area due to the repeated getting in and out of the car in the intense Texas heat
My friend thought it was a spider bite so he said he'd help me out by lancing it and cleaning it up (I was very poor and had no insurance so I went for it)
He worked at a very reputable body modification shop and I had known the owner for years so I trusted him
Not only that, but he was a spider collector
He cut it open and he squeezed a bunch of thick greygunk out of it
"Oh man!, you better go have a real doctor check this out after I'm done, this looks infected!"
He finished cleaning the wound up and noticed something
"There's a small sliver of something under your skin, are you sure you weren't on any wood materials like a park bench or something?"
I assured him that I had not
He said it was brown and had the texture of wood or metal
He took a probe and started examining it (kinda like an ice pick)
Every time he tried to remove it, there was a "tick" sound of the proble slipping after losing the grip on the object
This sent lightning bolts of pain up my leg
He couldn't get it out so he told me to get it examined
I barely had any money so I opted to go to Primacare because they had a sliding scale for poor people and did not intend on sitting in the emergency room of Parkland hospital for hours waiting for the gunshot patients to get taken care of first
The doctor at primacare asked me what was the matter and I told her the story
She examined the area and remarked "Well, the guy sure knew what he was doing because this is a very good job of cleaning the wound"
She asked about the "sliver" and examined the area further
"I have two things to tell you, first it was a spider bite and it was infected but this brown sliver is not a foreign object"
It turned out that it was, in fact, a small tendon just underneath the skin
The guy had been picking at one of my tendons!
Good thing he didn't cut it out like he wanted to
She was satisfied that the infection was not a threat, gave me antibiotics and sent me on my way
My friend was horrified when I told him what he was poking at but I assured him that I was the one who got up on the table and allowed him to do it so there was no hard feelings

I don't have a question so someone is free to answer the "worst pain" question and continue

A. Best time of my life? Well, I would have to say right now. Nothing is going right, but the adventure is just as exciting because I know something amazing is just around the corner.

Q. Do you believe in regret?

A) Yes, though I personally don't have many

Q) Do you have a 'S/He is the One that got away' story?

two. but I tend to idealize the situations, and deal with the past through rose-colored glasses.

are you anyone else's 'one that got away'?

uh, actually I could kind of say two, but I tend to idealize the situations, and deal with the past through lenses smeared with a combination of hubris and bitterness... I do have one very tenacious ex-boyfriend who has at one point moved to the town I went to college in, and is currently talking about moving here as well; it's nice to hear from him of course, but it makes me wonder. And anyway, he's still too young for me. To the other one I'm sure I must be the "one who got away" literally, because neither my bones nor my bank account was quite destroyed by the time I was able to leave.

How was the Gary Numan concert? I ended up with free tickets to a show at the Guthrie instead.

A. I don't think anyone went... Or if they did they don't remember now...

Q. What was the last song that you sung along to?

tones on tale- "go"

how's yer saturday?

A.) Much too busy. Not relaxing enough.

Q.) Jesus, why did someone have to resurrect this rickety old thread? I was hoping it was buried for good.

A: You *did* have the executive power to not transfer it from Gothling. There's still the choice to delete it entirely...

Q: I'm tore up from helping Frost move. Who wants to give me a backrub?

A.) I would, but I'm too relaxed from my intense physical therapy session this morning that prevented me from helping Frost move.

Q.) What's the best album released so far this year?

A) I obviously haven't listened to every album out this year, but so far it would be a tie between "Icky Thump" and "Walking with Strangers"

Q) What is the worst album you've heard this year?

A.) Depeche Mode's Sounds Of The Universe.

Q.) What is the future of Industrial music?

A- A more balanced view of mechanical with the organic. However, the bands that will continue to make money will be playing the same old metal riffs over disco beats

Q- How much longer is the muppet beard emo thing going to last?

A) Another year at the very least

Q) What's your favorite feature of http://www.edentropy.blogspot.com ?

A) It all fucking sucks, stop promoting yourself you worthless douchebag

Q) Favorite movie co-starring Deborah Harry?

A) Repo Man, obviously.

Q) favorite thing you ever made?

A story called "Soma". which appears to no longer be on the sight that published it.


Favorite thing that a friend made for you?

wait
Debbie Harry was in Repo Man?

(you're s'posed to answer drok's question first.)

was that not she? the blonde in the club, with the punks licking her gloves? if not, who?

regardless of whom it was, I now can't get the image out of my head. I thank you now, but I'll be cursing your name later.

So, who was it?

That's the chick who runs the FBI
That chick had a metal hand
As Debbie (mohawk chick) is licking the hand, she leaves her gum on the hand and King Archie says "Ashante" or however you spell that word (Frank n Furter says it to Janet when he kisses her hand)

When the punks come in Otto indruduces them as "Layla and her weird friend"

I just looked it up and the character's name was "Agent Rogersz"
The actor's name is Susan Barnes

A: 42.

Q: Will Rockula ever figure out how to make a post in this thread that contains both an answer AND a question?

A- I don't care
Q- Why do you care?

a) The Hamburgler is a man of ritual and rigor. He lives by a code. Perhaps it is his area code. ("Ashanti" is the name of an important tribe from Ghana. "Enchanté" is French for "enchanted [to meet you.]")

b) what's the best thing you saw today?

A storm on top of the Sandias.

same question...

my girlfriend's ass.

anyone wanna give me a bass cab?

A: here ya go, don't turn it up too loud or you'll break the windows.


Q: Got any good noise-ordinance-violation stories?

Dammit, Rob... You beat me to it...


Having worked in pawn for 8 years I sold plent of stereos to folks that were later ORDERED to remove them. About $200,000 per year in sales really helped the cops find idiots.

Anyone got a real bass cab for Thosquanta?

a) no. not even a cab sav.

b) did anyone here catch REPO CHICK at the theater?

Nope.







Q: WHO MISSED ME?

Fuck yes. This summer will be the many beards of Billy Cruddup.


Has anyone been to Trieu Chau lately?

A: Nope

Q: CC Club, Drok?

A: I will be around for 2 weeks or so. So, I'm all "Giddyup" for whatever. Ro, on the other hand, will ben "en semstre, so will be around for the rehearsal, the wedding, one night in Minny-soter, and then back on a plane to get back to becoming "Dr Sugarpants*". So, we will have one Sat night in the 'Soter to hang out and whatnot. Maybe she'll go for the CC, maybe not. I'll get back to you. As for me, Fuck Yes to a night in uptown, but you all know my crush on The Pig.

Q: Where is Ajha these days?

A: She's been spotted in the Twin Cities area recently.

Q: Do vegans swallow?

I dated a vegan and she swallowed
