Evening everyone, my colon is good, got welfare cable TV. Got my colonoscopy done a year ago, no problems, see ya in ten years. There ain’t no why in Gods green earth I’m paying the cost of cable TV. We have the most basic package you can get, they call it the “doctors office package “. We get the golf channel, and some network crap, and the weather channel. I have friends that pay $135.00 a month for TV. It’s not that we can’t afford it, it’s the &)$&&)(88. Principle of it.I know, I know, I’m weird.

 

Pfft... Colonoscopy isn't bad. Having Crohn's, I'm on a first name basis with the staff that perform the test. FWIW, you do want to be asleep. I've had them awake. When the say "slight pressure", they really mean sharp stabbing pain. BTW, there are two lengths of scopes. Standard length for typical colonoscopies and the "XL" to get a look see in the small intestine... I wonder how I know...

Now if you want to know pain, think about having a bladder biopsy... (They don't knock you out for that)

 

Pucker factor,10/10

 

Do NOT want to get put out - I'll deal with the pain.

 

You forgot BB gun fights :}

Cypher

 

Hmmmm... CIA? FBI? Special Forces?

 

Looks like warming trend here !!!

No Hard Freeze warnings tonite , temps only dropping to 30° tonite and early tomorrow morning will be 28°

 

A friend of mine’s little brother got a stick jammed up his nose when we were climbin trees.

 

well worded!

 

I hope it was he was climbing down. Otherwise he is doing it wrong

 

...and wrist rockets. We always had a bush around with hard red berries that hurt like a bitch!

 

Walnut fights. Damn they hurt.

 

We would start out skipping cow pies across the pond, then realize you could whip em like a frisbee, next thing yah know yah got a shit fight.

 

Bottle Rocket Bazooka wars - older brother would shoot at us across the cul de sac..... you do develop reflexes that way.

Remember the Big Bang cannons - they shot Lego pieces wrapped in tape really well...

 

Come on now....."Think outside the box"..

Potato launchers when you plant 3-5 acres every year...Irish heritage is Meat & potato's The ammo is plentiful

Tape 3-4 ( depending how "good" you were ) tennis ball cans together, with a small hole entered in the bottom can....install either tennis ball or a potato down, fill small hole with accelerant and LIGHT

BB gun fights got ugly when one of the neighbor kids upgraded to a CO2 .22 cal pellet gun but then my Dad gave me a .177 pellet rifle.. crack and load while moving...poor kid never had a chance... when you are raised on 24 country acres bordered by a Riva'...…. the outside living is your life...

I still have that 'lil .177 and a box of pellets just in case

 

Lit a few tennis balls on fire with the tennis ball can cannon.

 

(As a kid) I don't know anything about what fireworks do to mailboxes (or coffee cans for that matter)...

 

Wow, this thread has kind of gone all to shit pipe and fireworks!!

Same thing here with the TV, we had free Cinemax and HBO this last weekend, taped Wonder Woman!! It was awesome, liked all the special affects and while I LOVED Linda Carter from my childhood this lady here rocked the outfit!!
