“I'd like to thank CMB for making me smile.

I'd also like to thank Weezr for letting me backpack the Grand Canyon, Yoho National Park, B.C. and The Emigrant Wilderness, Ca. this year.

Plus, I'd like to thank the people who are arranging these trips and for including me in them.”

“And me?”

“Oh, and a special thanks to Phaedrus.”

“Hell, I'd like to thank bacpac for coming back and irritating me.

I'd also like to thank Violin for irritating bacpac. :)”

“LOL geezr!”

“I'd like to thank my Internist Bill Neumann and my Thorasic Surgeon Roddy Kitchens and All the Nice Folks down at St. Joseph's Hospital for putting Humpty Dumpty together again. I couldn't have done it without cha!”

“still none for me”

“I'd like to thank:

Aero-for verifying my existence

Lyra-for being funny as hell and slightly evil

I can't think of anything else at the moment. I will later probably.”

“Jeez Tilt, did they have to crack you to fix that?”

“i'd like to thank hekky shpeldstien....without him, this moment could have never happened.....”

“Nope --- I got tubed! <G>

Still, not the Most fun I've ever had.”

“dood, quit tuberbating already, GEESH.....”

“you'll go blind....”

“geeze this wont last long”

“i think that was a shot at you , tilt...lol!”

“Whew, okay. So, tube down your bronchia and a tire pump?”

“lmao...oh..THAT kinda tube....



uhhmmm....nevermind....”

“and Thank You Poppinfresh... for... watching out for The Boogeyman sneaking up on us from the Pacific Rim.”

“cool!”

“Hey Tilt, if you think reinflating that lung hurt in the Hospital, you should feel it happen when we do it in the back of a speeding Ambulance...Yowza!!

So, I'm all ears..what size tube did they use on ya, huh, huh? C'mon Tilt you can tell ol Tex...

;-D”

“I dunno, but it felt like 3/4-inch PVC!!! I said, "Hey guys could I PLEEEEEEEASE have some more Demerol? That 50 mg you gave me before AIN'T doin' the trick!" LOL

In the back of a Speeding Ambulance, eh? I'll put that in the "Things Can Always Be Worse" file! <yikes>”

“They could just hang you out with window going REALLY fast and make you open your mouth... That should reinflate you!”

“hey i got bread baking in my oven! Its logan bread a trail bread!”

“Demerol?? Why didn't they break out the top shelf stuff...MORPHINE??

They OBVIOUSLY did not know who they were dealing with!!

*grin*”

“OBVIOUSLY not, LOL

They were kind enough to give me another 25 mg and I was DEFINITELY happier.


Oh, Bit... they went in the 'Side Door'. Only had to go a few inches that way.

Yeah, I like that idea, Phaedrus. "Just stick your head out the window..." Have you been taking medical advice from Beavis and Butthead again? LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Maybe if I had an ambulance with a sunroof... "Hey.... Kewl!"

After I was 're-inflated' it was like... Have you ever wanted to know how it might feel to BE an aquarium? (without the fish, of course) They hooked me up a suction gizmo that sounded way too much like the 'aerator' (sp?) on a fish tank.

3 or 4 days of bubble-bubble-bubble-bubble-bubble-bubble.... LOL”

“we just use a football pump round these parts.....high tech solutions are the best...”

“I cannot resist, tilt...

Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble...

Sounds sorta like your theme song there buck-o, does it not??

Macbeth

Act IV. Scene I.


A Cavern. In the middle, a boiling Cauldron.

Thunder. Enter the three Witches.
First Witch. Thrice the brinded cat hath mew’d.
Sec. Witch. Thrice and once the hedge-pig whin’d.
Third Witch. Harper cries: ’Tis time, ’tis time.
First Witch. Round about the cauldron go;
In the poison’d entrails throw.
Toad, that under cold stone
Days and nights hast thirty-one
Swelter’d venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot.
All. Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Sec. Witch. Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg, and howlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
All. Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Third Witch. Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,
Witches’ mummy, maw and gulf
Of the ravin’d salt-sea shark,
Root of hemlock digg’d i’ the dark,
Liver of blaspheming Jew,
Gall of goat, and slips of yew
Sliver’d in the moon’s eclipse,
Nose of Turk, and Tartar’s lips,
Finger of birth-strangled babe
Ditch-deliver’d by a drab,
Make the gruel thick and slab:
Add thereto a tiger’s chaudron,
For the ingredients of our cauldron.
All. Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Sec. Witch. Cool it with a baboon’s blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.

Enter HECATE.
Hec. O! well done! I commend your pains,
And every one shall share i’ the gains.
And now about the cauldron sing,
Like elves and fairies in a ring,
Enchanting all that you put in. [Music and a song, ‘Black Spirits,’ &c.
Sec. Witch. By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes.
Open, locks,
Whoever knocks.....”

“By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes.
Open, locks,
Whoever knocks....."

“Like I always say... you can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can't wipe your friends on your saddle!”

“lmao!”

“Watched "Minority Report" for the first time last night. ewwww....”

“Enter MACBETH.

Macb. How now, you secret, black, and midnight hags!
What is ’t you do?”

“lmao path, i thought of 5th grade when i saw that the other night!

“hmmmmmmm...

“both would be useful for digging up old friends, i would think....

“"Alas, Robert Urich"?”
