Speaker: Medical Journal, Chapter V, in reply to Isabel Hitchings,
And I forgot to say:
Of two childbirths - one long with a posterior baby and one fast, furious and unmedicated - attempting to place the catheter before the epidural was far-and-away the most painful part.
Since I had no labour to speak of, I thought perhaps my catheter-cold-sweats were just a sign of my essential wimpishness. I'm glad (in a way) to hear that it actually *is* hugely fucking painful. Uh, woo.

Speaker: Medical Journal, Chapter V, in reply to Paul Williams,
You took it there?
Someone already mentioned goatse in this thread. It's not often I get a chance to feel relatively prim while talking about jizz storage.

I need to add my bottled manhood to the emergency checklist
Just don't store it with your emergency pina colada mix.

It’s not unknown for people to lose their entire family. It’s only one car crash away.
Ack! Stop giving me reality checks, damn it!
(PAS is seemingly filled with people calmly accepting doom, who all read dystopian sf and liveblog the apocalypse [Tiso, I'm looking beadily at you]. Where my denial/sublimation peeps at? :) )

Hard News: Book review: 'Wikileaks:…, in reply to Neil Graham,
I read the New Yorker piece on Scientology yesterday
Snap! What a freakshow. The cast of characters in that article runs the gamut from 'deluded and douchey' to 'actively evil'. Haggis weirds me out, too. I think he's horribly revisionist about himself in that interview.

Speaker: Medical Journal, Chapter V, in reply to Russell Brown,
You’re talking to someone who once woke in hospital and was surprised – nay, alarmed – to find that a plastic tube has been inserted in his penis.
Let me just say that I do not recommend having it put into the corresponding girl-parts while you’re awake and sober. The memory of that still gives me the cold sweats.
ETA On the other hand, it's made going to the dentist far less terrifying.

Speaker: What PACE actually does, in reply to giovanni tiso,
5-metre high bronze vagina
Isn't it a bronze *vulva*, technically?

(It's a radio show, actually.)

as a socialist really I’m as much of a minority and every bit as much of a potential object of ridicule
Yeah, I'm a bit to the left of most people here, I imagine, so every now and then I say something like "global maximum wage, why not?" and everyone is all "pffffffft, you're a nutbar". Yet I probably have no "ideological coherence", because I am just as much of a shallow consumerist as anyone. ("Sent from my iPad".)
