Someone should post Jon's hospital number here so we can crank call him at all hours.

No such luck, chefstah. I'm at home now, with pressure dressing the size of a diaper taped to my back. Pips is out getting narcotics and provisions.

Someone should post Jon's home number here so we can crank call him at all hours.

Does he have Prince Albert in a can?

JON DO YOU HAVE EIGHT-POUND BALLS?

Glad you made it through and home, Jon - best wishes for a quick recovery.

Damn, that was lame. Not befitting at all of our reputation, as limited as it may be, of a "wacky, yet vaguely intellectual, in an ordinary-type-person kind of way" website.

Fine. Here's a picture of a crocheted Cheez-It, then.

Woo-HOO! Wacky, yes, but is there a deeper (or ironic?) meaning?!?!?

To hell with Cheez-its.

Do you love nips?

You're in hospital? Wha hoppen?

I'm home now, stav. I had kidney stones removed. I have a pressure compress the size of a diaper on my back and I'm peeing cherry kool-aid, but at least they're out and I'm riding a marvelous vicodin buzz.

Who's hungry for grape-nuts?

I recommend taking advatnage of your condition to lay in bed shouting orders to your attendants, and weeping copiously when your authority is challenged.

It's a living.

So we're not getting that phone number so we can all make the crank calls? Fine. Whatever.

Feel better soon, Jon.

I wonder if there's ever a been a "severed hand" style horror movie, but about kidney stones.

Softly scraping, the stone made its lugubrious way along the streets of New York...calling Jonnnn. Jonnnn! JONNNN!

There have been a few kidney stones buddy films and at least one incredible journey flick with a kidney stone (traveling with a lovable wolf hound if memory serves me correct), but I can't think of a single kindney stone horror film. It seems like a genre ripe for exploiting.

Heal quickly jonmc, YouSendIt has been asking about you.

I believe I saw a remake of The Thing with a kidney stone in it, in which they cover the seemingly hibernative stone in cranberry juice, it naturally derives nutrients from this delicious treat and reanimates, then goes about wreaking just, urea-bathed revenge on the hapless scientists for their perfidy and foolishness. I think Linnea Quigley co-starred.

Get well soon, Jon!

also: did you get the stone to keep? Polished and on a chain it could, like those unicorn horn things the sons of Italia favor, serve as both an attractive adornment and a fascinating conversation starter...?

Three words for you: kidney stone maracas.

The kidney stone saga is finally over? Glad to hear it.

also: did you get the stone to keep?

Sadly, no. The procedure uses a probe on a wire to pulverine the stones then vacuum them out, Pips said that when the doctor came to get her in the witing room post-op, he sowed her a test tube filled with a disturbing amount of gravel that he shook like a maraca. (no kidding).

I am feeling much better. Of course that may be the vicodin talking.

in vico veritas, my friend.

Glad to hear you're on the mend.

Feel free to call and drop by, dude. Visits are appreciated.

Glad to hear you're getting better, matey. The hard livin' catches up on us...

A note about posting images:

We encourage users to post images, especially those hilarous pics of monkeys wearing dresses or programming for Linux. But posting images that reside on someone else's server is considered by many to be bandwidth theft. Our thoughts on the matter, along with some solutions to the problem, can be found here. Thanks.
