Sorry for the lack of a flame war parody this Sunday. I’m getting surgery Monday afternoon. Don’t worry. It’s not a lobotomy, I still have no desire to be a Liberal. It’s a pretty minor, and common procedure to patch an umbilical hernia.
However, I will still be a bit restricted on certain types of movement, and more importantly I will be on painkillers for a period of time. Those things are like industrial strength sleeping pills on me. So, I have no idea how long I will be both awake and alert this week, but it’s likely to be in the 10s of minutes.
So, Saturday we went out for the day, since there won’t be much of that for 3 weeks, and today I tried to make sure some things were in order. I failed to get the lawn mowed due to thunderstorms, so I might need a machete by the time that gets done. If anyone has a machete I could borrow, let me know.
Anyone.
*I will have a blogger interview at Chris C’s Humor Blog, Angry Seafood. You must go there or the terrorists win.
So, I leave things in the capable and prolific hands of Les James, who will hopefully not hijack the site. He’s queued up to have message from Barack Obama on Monday, a Caption Pic on Wednesday, and another Obama piece on Friday. If I’m lucid, I just might write something myself in between those days.
Better yet, I might write something if I’m not lucid. Wish me luck and do whatever sort of rain dance your mythology requires. I’m sure it will help appease the political humor gods. If you must have a flame war parody, come up with one yourselves in the comments section, because if you don’t, the terrorists win.

Oh just great! Nice time to let me know. Fine, I’ll just stay up all night and we’ll hope for the best. Two post on Obama and a piece of art work too? What do you think I am, some machine? Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine, you’re just getting cut on and then you’ll be all doped up like some hippie.
Take care, I’d pray for your slave driving ass but…
Anyone want to guess how well Fiar can write when he’s high? I’m guessing funnier.

Well, if even less coherent than my usual style=funny, then you may be right. You better get to writing those pieces for the week.

Fiar- Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of your site. I’ve only got a few “minor” changes in mind. Enjoy the buzz.

I was disappointed to not find a Sunday retarded argument and, in all honesty, I think this is a bit flimsy as an excuse.
While I never heard of a herniated umbilical cord, I would venture a guess that you are a tad long in the tooth to still have yours and be using it…for what I have no clue. Nonetheless, I’m wishing you good health and more importantly a speedy recovery so you can “donate” some of the excess pain-killers to my cause. I just don’t know how I’m going to endure two exciting political conventions less than a month apart.
btw – I don’t have a machete but perhaps I could send my gardener over for a day to help out – that would be real neighborly, right?

Just imagine. If you had Hillary-care, the rest of us could enjoy another eighteen full months of your pain enhanced rants, while you wait for your ‘free’ surgery.
Get well, and remember, there is no better fuel for healing than a hearty serving of crispy Bacon.

You soooo need to post under the influence of major painkillers.
Get well!

We could turn this into a flame war. Then Fitch would read it, laugh, and need more surgery for another hernia! If that’s what he’s really doing. I think he’s getting a sex change.
