Sue,
bring on the stitches snaps David

If it were a lymphoma, I wouldn't be breezily posting medi-porn.
Quite. And I'm very surprised that no-one has commented on the hairs sticking out of your very wobbly lumpy bit. You know what it looks like to me? A hairy yam, or alternatively, one of those growths that were supposed to be babies, but never developed properly, you know the ones. They have bits of bone, teeth, hair. Yeah, it looks like one of those.

Is there a way this thread can be steered back towards any political angle that doesn't involve pictures of flesh?

Wimp!

Paul, look away. Sue, here are two stitches pics as requested. The hand belongs to by my not-at-all-fazed-by-this 9 year old PhotoBooth assistant.
From my point of view the most disturbing part is the alopecia.
Jackie - three words. Naked mole rat.

Dude, I think I speak for all of us when I ask: what kind of phone do you have? Those are some pretty sweet pics.
My own cyst story (so many of us seem to have them) involves a nameless as-seen-on-TV dermatologist (hi, Liz!) who, after checking out my cheeky little friend, advised me to wear a dark shirt when I came to have it removed.
I think she was joking, but wore a red one anyway.
Some minutes into the procedure, as little red sprays of corpuscular goodness spurted from my cheek in time to my somewhat elevated pulse (Doc: "I've never had one do THAT before!") I was glad of the wardrobe choice.
Wish I'd taken a photo though.

The line about a dog returning to its own vomit is actually from the Book of Proverbs (in the Bible )

Whitlam: "That was a good speech. You should go back comrade, and get yourself an honours degree."
Keating: "What for ? Then I'd be like you."

Ahh, a thread about Aussie politicos and malignant growths. How could I resist?
One thing though - the 'stirring up apathy' is an old old parliamentary line. Back to at least the 60s.
When Hawke became PM they had to remotely switch off the microphone in front of him in Parliament. He'd mutter under his breath about whatever opposition MP was talking and the system would pick up a steady stream of profanity.
For sheer inventiveness though, Keating has to take the cake, or the bottle of vitriol. His description of Malcolm Fraser - “like an Easter Island statue with an arse full of razor blades” is sheer malevolent genius.

Sue,
now the stitches don't phase me
perhaps i'm so used to dad having stitches from skin cancers that it's just mundane.but kudos to your photographer,
-
Why do I have this compulsion to click on links?
Gross David, just gross.
The doctor offered me a look at my knee cartilage and I was still too woozy from the anesthetic to say no. Yet another reason to work on plants.
And why do you want flowery language in politics? Do you want politics to be entertaining or have substance? Seems to me the two a pretty much mutually exclusive.
cheers
Bart -
The stitches were far easier to look at than the wobbly scallop.
-
Bart,
What I hope for is substance, made more engaging with vivid language. Am I too ambitious for New Zealand?Vaughn,
Nokia N95. Even a chump like me can get good shots with 5 megapixels.For anyone with aching eyeballs, here is a salve. This is what I mostly use it for.
I can also offer kittens with ribbons. -
Mark, out of hand sounds fun. You email them, I'll upload them
I went home and had a rummage around for a photo I took of a mate when he ripped his shorts/rump mountain biking, but I couldn't find it. Probably just as well.
If anyone's really bored, they could check out my eyeball photo (not gruesome at all) -

Love cats, but can never manage to eat a whole one in one sitting.
-
...and big thick bunches [of nerves] that feel impact. The big ones keep transmitting under a local.
And now, imagine that the cyst is a baby... This is a very weird thing when one is having a caesarean. Not exactly pain (other than a dull sort of ache) but odd vigorous tugging and being shoved around sensations, followed by "waaah!". Never to be forgotten.
-
Sue,
everyone love kittens with ribbons
and if they don't they have no place being on the internets -

Was considering this, then Paul William's lament about "back to politics" made me realise Parliament was on shortly so thought I would see if I could watch and hear any vivid language.
However just a wee quick note. I got the images of my brain scan and managed to enhance a little with colour (hence my gravatar) and then my dad made me a necklace with the staples that were removed from my head. My mum thought ewwww. My dad thought funny. I laughed:) -
I did like the hairy bits. I had one that felt about five times that size removed from the back of my head (no jokes, please). Was never given the opportunity to see it.
The most nauseating medical procedure I had, amongst a number, was the insertion of a large needle into my shoulder (after anaesthetic, thank God), through which dye and air was alternately pumped in order to expand the joint and display the damaged bits. It's very weird wandering around with large pieces of metal protruding from your body.
I am intrigued as to what Damien Christie's pic was - perhaps a burnt finger from New Year's Even 2007/8 inflicted while letting off fire crackers at my neighbour's at 2am?

Somehow it's not quite as gross when it's your own body parts.
About a decade ago I had all four wisdom teeth removed. I was going to thread them into a necklace, but I misplaced them.
My parents are moving house soon. Hopefully they'll find the teeth behind some furniture.

Here's vivid:) Pete Hodgson sought leave to table a 300ml bottle of stop leak. Objected.

From memory, it was from his eye surgery. Wish I'd had someone take pictures of mine (the whites of my eyes crimson - people looked away as I walked around, children looked scared. Livesatock bolted. It was cool).
Probably in the Cracker archive somewhere

I think they keep 300ml bottles of anything well away from Mallard these days.
-
And to be honest, I think this sort of thing makes Labour look petty.
What Mallard should have done was not mention a leak at all & simply release National's policy as Labour's. :)

Heh, the bottle's sitting facing Nats and Trevor has just, started:) Oh.. here comes Rodney followed by Winston.
