Can I comment tonight? For Realz? It's part of Obama's liberal agenda I tell ya.
And can I downfist? I loves downfists. The great Wonkateers who used to be like negative 120 and shit — you know they were doing great work at brightfart and what not.
Although we never get trolls in Wonkville, I'll keep it in my back pocket.
Since this is my last comment before I got allowed to play or 86ed for ever, so it must be read by a mod, I'd like to repeat somebody else's plea. (Smokey's?) Please make links visible without hovering. I don't think I can take the constant disappointment of thinking I've spotted a link to an obscure blues song or a cool cephalopod, only to find nothing.
You mean on youtube links? They've never shown who or what you're about to commit to, except for a Disqus kind of interface. I don't understand the ways of the interwebs…
Not that. I can figure out roughly where I'm going by hovering and checking the URL at the bottom of the browser. First I have to figure out where to hover. In Firefox, anyway, links are indistinguishable from plain text until you point at it.
Also not visible in Chrome. In Old Wonkville, live links were red, iirc. Now the only red is the underline under our Pness, since New Wonkville seems to think certain numbers are misspellings.
Ah, got it. I thought there was a setting to underline them, but I can't find it. I'll try to be more considerate and not wrap them, or also drop the url at the bottom of the comments as well.
At this minute, I am supposed to be enjoying–or not, who even knows–one of the last Grateful Dead concerts, evar. Likewise, tomorrow night. But no, had to get my shoulder fixed instead.
Last time I saw them was at Donner Summit in 1985, can't believe it's been that long! Didn't need no LSD then, either. Cocaine and whiskey, on the other hand…
Really wasn't among the best shows I went to, though.
ha! No, actually it was pretty terrible. I've listened to recordings since and it really was a bit of a train wreck of a show
The whole show is in the link I posted in my reply to Radiotherapy^^
At least it was short, didn't quite expect that Mercy Air chopper to take them away so unexpectedly.

jeez, that's what I was saying about the links here- my tired eyes didn't see it
It's okay, Biff. I'm pretty sure all of the Dead were replaced by animatronic robots (TM DISNEY CORP) about 12 years ago.
Thanks. Surgery was 3 weeks ago, I was done medicating after a week. I don't know what limbaugh sees in oxy, god damn.
Aw, I love me some Oxy. Or T3s. I'm not picky. Vicodin is the Devil's Drug, though.
I saw this incredible stat where the USA has 4.5% of the world's population and uses 80% of the opiates. The fuck?

We are a nation of wimps. Fueled by Big Pharma and poignancyselz for "the cancer"
Of course, I was guilty of abuse in the past
BTW, thanks for your help Biff a few years back.
Ima gonna buy you a Jerry Garcia tie. You can use it as a sling.
Other countries with sane approaches to medical care and disability approach treatment of chronic illness/pain conditions very differently. I have a friend in Norway who has EDS and Psoriatic Arthritis. Her country pays for ongoing physical therapy, occupational therapy, provides her not only with a wheelchair but a car it will fit in, lets her work a 25% schedule while paying her the other 75% in disability, and every fall sends her to a spa/resort in Greece for 3 weeks since warm weather and sun is good for her.
I barely get my doctor's appts covered, get 30% of what I was making, am not allowed to earn money without losing my Medicare, get no drug coverage for any of the new most effective drugs, no PT, OT, definitely no therapeutic vacation — and, oh, yeah, thanks to the morons abusing Oxy, my doctors won't even prescribe any opiates no matter how much I need them because it's too much paperwork and DEA scrutiny. USA USA USA.
And we pay three times what every civilized country pays for less than mediocre care. (MedioCare)
Free Marketz Capitalism
Oh, yeah.
May I rant for a second that Medicare, our insurance for the old and disabled, will pay for penis pumps but not eyeglasses, hearing aids or dentures? Did they only let Republican Senators decide what was covered?
Please, rant away. Also, why do you like oxy and not hydro? I've used the latter, never the former.
Oxycodone may make me a little sweaty and dizzy at higher doses, but hydrocodone disagrees with my tummy so violently that I hork it up before I get any side effects (or pain relief).
Huh. Interesting. Thanks.
My friend has to go to a so-called pain management specialist monthly because no other docs will write the scrips. It was a huge disruption in our valley. There's only two pharmacies, and they both ran out of the good stuff the first few months the rules changed, leaving some chronic pain patients without. The pain doc is an asshole, too–he does random drug tests, and he "fires" patients that test positive for pot. I've tried to talk Bette into firing the doc and getting a medical mj card, but she's afraid. I guess if I had her problems, I'd be afraid too.
I was at the filming of the Touch of Grey video in 1987 at Laguna Seca where they made skeleton marionettes for all the band members. Fun stuff- they invited us back into the concert area after the first day's show to film it. BTW, most of the fog in the video is real, it came drifting in around sunset.
Chairman Meow, the Tejas flag was flying over the State of Confusion Washington last night. Alison Krause opened for Willie Nelson. Union Station is one tight band.
they kept shutting them down. I went through four and ended up finishing the show with an audio stream. I'll probably spend the money next week and get it PPV so I can DVR it.
I'm in.
Any bandwagon good enough for you probably wouldn't allow me to join.
THE GAY LIBERAL AGENDA IS ADVANCING, PRAISE CTHULHU
Yes we can!
violently tugging at your genitals and howling? sounds more like a case of the crabs…
Fire ants?
Some fire ants are up to 50% by weight formic acid, so yes.
The Idiotic Cruel Aid Formic Acid Test
those flashbacks gotta really suck…
The last time I wore sandals, I stood on a fire ant nest while waiting for the bus. Only 50%?
Up until a few years ago, I didn't know wtf fire ants were. Holy shit, I long for those ignorant, innocent days.
Hmm, maybe there is a God. I am okay with a God who hates sandals.
Because my fingers are too thick for my phone, I seem to have up- and downfisted that. My apologies for the down.
WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG?

Everything is terrible, fml.
When The 'dead come to Wonkville, don't need no LSD.
Last time I saw them was at Donner Summit in 1985, can't believe it's been that long! Didn't need no LSD then, either. Cocaine and whiskey, on the other hand…
I was there
Oh man, we could've, like, hung out!

It wouldn't have been the same without Holographic Jerry, anyway.
Strict doctor's orders, can't do shit for about 9 more weeks.
Replacing Jerry with this guy, well, still a dubious decision:

Feel better. Take all the drugs they'll give you.

I still haven't gotten to see AKUS live. Jerry Douglas is freaking god! I've been listening to Alison Krause since she was 13, been quite a journey.
AK talked about her ties to Seattle, and when she did a number with heart with two of our local ladies.
