Early-twentieth-century Mississippi: >When I entered the kitchen I found her pacing ponderously back and forth through the door that opens on the back gallery. It seemed a strange procedure. Louisa was not given to exercise, at least not of that kind. The fol- lowing colloquy ensued: "Louisa, what are you doing?" "I stuck a nail in my foot." "Why don't you go to the doctor?" "I'se gettin' the soreness out." "You can't walk it out." "Naw, suh, the nail is drawing it out" "What nail?" "The nail I stepped on." "Where is it?" Louisa pointed to the lintel of the door. A nail hung from it by a piece of string; under it Louisa was pacing. I left her pacing.<

"I did trust you," she said, "and look what happened!"

...to all my friends here, wishing you safety, growing insight, satisfaction with your best efforts, and sufficient silliness to float your boat in 2009. For starters, why not click here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and, oh, here?

And I'd have assumed a political affiliation infected with him a passion for literary studies. All depends on which, uh, class of drugs you seek, I spoze. Meanwhile, an ambulance en route to a call had to stop unexpectedly at a railroad crossing while a long freight train rumbled by. Thinking to explain the delay, the driver radioed to dispatch: "We hit the train," which dispatch interpreted literally, and deployed you can imagine what kind of response. True story, they tell me.

Oh, well. "Se non è vero, è ben trovato." / If it's not true, it's a good story.

Ah. Like this, eh? (From Wiki:) >The judicial murder of Enghien shocked the aristocrats of Europe, who still remembered the bloodletting of the Revolution and who lost whatever conditional respect they may have entertained for Napoleon. Either Antoine Boulay de la Meurthe (deputy from Meurthe in the Corps législatif) or Napoleon's chief of police, Joseph Fouché, said about his execution, "It is worse than a crime; it is a mistake." ("C'est pire qu'un crime, c'est une faute."), a statement often rendered in English as "It was worse than a crime; it was a mistake." The statement is also sometimes attributed to French diplomat Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord. Sometimes the quote is given as, "It was worse than a crime; it was a blunder."<

scuba, those were precisely the lessons the cautionary tale I heard was intended to convey: Don't use slang + also know Why as well as What you and those with whom you communicate are doing. Vent, in this case the intubation had been the medic's plan, so at least that part wasn't an error.

If you value your sanity, don't google lolcat bible.

It was in connection with intubation, so that makes sense. Apparently a medic radioed or phoned to medical control to ask about snowing the pt, the doc said Sure, do it, but was surprised when the pt arrived intubated; apparently the doc hadn't been familiar with the slang term for the procedure he'd approved. Thanks, mobey.

..."snow a patient"? I gather it means something other than deceiving, the way a student might boast of snowing a teacher, ie, pulling a snow job.

I wish I saw any intolerance from which it might even start to rise.

Sounds accurate to me, in the same way that the science of medicine has absolutely no relationship with any form of witchcraft, Coca-Cola has absolutely no relationship with any form of cocaine, and pest-control has absolutely no relationship with any form of religion ritual. Prefacing these statements by "Its historical origin notwithstanding" emphasizes rather than modifies them.

The one you just cited.

I train with the best. Even as we speak.

You win? OK, congratulations! No wonder you're always smiling!

You asked whether I can do both at once, not whether you can do both at once. But maybe I've just learned how. :wink:

Nope. That's advanced.

Why not both at once?

It's an acquired taste.
