How is this for a bad day. First, the anonymous (for good reason!) woman had to have an operation to remove her enormous, inflamed hemorrhoids. While she was in there, she had them schedule a lump-ectomy for a mysterious lump in an unspecified, but equally south of the equator place. So, she’s got two butt surgeries in one day, and a couple of months of using a donut pillow ahead of her.
The accident took place after a nurse had cleaned the woman’s skin with an antiseptic solution.
With some of the highly flammable liquid having trickled under the women’s body, the patient caught fire when staff switched on the electrical current and began operating.
Yep, that’s what we around these parts call a ringburner!
Obviously, this needs the work of a solid retoucher. Is Mariah Carey’s photoshopper free? Mercifully, the one I made last year has been nuked out of existence. My eyestalks have only just recovered!
Whoa, check it out: yet another medium (oh, look it up if you’re so pedantic!) falls to the raincoaster Operation Global Media Domination behemoth. We be all up in yo airwaves now! Preeeee-senting the inaugural broadcast of Shebeen Club Radio, recorded live (and subsequently edited to death) November 20th, 2007. This is a recording of our book launch for Shebeen Club regular Colleen O’Connor‘s book Cry of the Phoenix. Pour yourself something companionable and heckle along! It’ll be almost like being there, just without the trays of appetizers or the screams from Blood Alley!
Well, not in so many words. But you were clearly employing what the experts know as “reverse sickology” and we at the ol’ raincoaster blog have no choice but to obey. The following is yet another Workplace Safety PSA, albeit one from the Eisenhower Era, enhanced with MST3K‘s finest snark. Click to enjoy over twenty minutes of pure Workplace Safety Public Service Announcement pleasure!
Welcome: Portraits of America, a new seven-minute film produced by Disney, will be shown in airports and embassies to woo visitors with a sanitised take on US landmarks. There are no shots of highways clogged with cars bumper to bumper. Instead, the camera pans over the wonders of the Grand Canyon, New York’s Chrysler building and the awe-inspiring power of the Niagara Falls.
But wait a minute. What falls are these? They don’t seem to resemble the Bridal Veil Falls that stand on the US side of the border. They do, however, look distinctly like the Horseshoe Falls, the immense curtain of water shrouded in mist that is the stock image of Niagara and lies almost entirely inside Canada. The annexation of a Canadian natural wonder was spotted by the news agency Associated Press.”This is an insult,” said Paul Gromosiak, an expert on the waterfalls. “This is not the US, this is 100% Canada, shot from the Canadian side.“
Swords, baybee. We have swords. What do you have? A weak military force squandered in Iraq and a couple of dozen reserves out scouring the country side for escaped weasels. Tell them to look in Congress and the Senate.
