I am STILL waiting for my cat.
do damn your slogans! damn your paper toys of merrymentin this holiday 
season. Maybe we all wanted fine young treasures for once. well now all 
that's changed. money is gone, pain comes soon.
pain, and lots of milk.
no no, I don't mean this the wrong way. don't let your children grow up to 
be beggars. Outlaws and gunslingers, far be it for me to judge. make your 
namesake last like the blazing red sun burned into the eyes of a lepur 
sitting on the only branch which would support him, high atop the plains 
of afrika.
paw away, mes admirals, just don't EVER let me catch you spewing about 
your neck or your fingers or your colon. Spew your thoughts, they last 
longer, and people care about them.
I linger in the warmth of a smile from friends smelling of freshly baked 
purity. Much beyond my grasp.

	This is not surprising.  I had been dreaming that I was a shaman of a

	conducting a ceremony wherein I was trying to curry favor with our
	tribal totem, a large chicken-like creature.  For some reason, in the

	life, and jumped on my back to attack me (apparently, it didn't like
	the sermon).

	It was just after the beginning of this attack that Stacy was finally
	able to awaken me.  My first words to her (obviously still more asleep
	than awake) were "Is it still on my back?"  "Is _what_ on your back?"
	"The CHICKEN!!  The CHICKEN!!  WHERE IS IT??"

Summary: 'tis the season
Date: 17 Dec 92 16:54:22 GMT
Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J.

Yuletide reminds me of frogs.  Not bucolic, contented, pastoral frogs of 
rural summers, plump with fresh flies, croaking their anticipation of the 
evening's amplexus, rather the frogs of Physiology lab.  Cold, flaccid 
frogs, factory-farm raised, crate-shipped to Newark from Carolina 
Biological Supply for the education of tomorrow's doctors.  

The demo frog is held with its head bent down.  A fingernail run over the 
back of its skull finds the foramen magnum, then a steel needle probe is 
thrust into the brain.  A quick side-to-side scramble, then touch each 
eye.  The lack of blink reflex indicates a successful brain pith.  

The needle is withdrawn nearly all the way (not entirely, else the blood 
flow obscures the puncture and makes the frog more slippery), turned to 
point down along the spine, and plunged in.  Skewering the spinal cord 
correctly results in a satisfyingly firm tetanus of the frog's hind legs.  
An incomplete spinal pith leads to the frog's later attempting to hop off 
the dissecting pan.  

After watching the demo, most students can do an adequate brain pith, but 
tend to scramble and dislocate the spine.  Understandable, as a frog's 
spinal cord is slender and elusive.  Practice makes perfect; I'd become 
quite good at finding and pithing dislocated frog spinal cords, although 
now I'd be as rusty as the needles we used.  

The foramen magnum of a human is much larger than that of a frog; 
I recommend a larger-bore needle.

it's practically incredible, but there it is.
december 8-10th-ish posts to t.b were the best

there is no formal or informal method of congratulation or reward here.
those to whom this applies of course know this.

let me just say Praise It.
to you to whom the Virtual Laurels belong, this should suffice.
