Yeah, morphine will do that to you.

Go look it up on http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/ or on wikipedia or even google. Sorry, I don't feel like doing the legwork for you.

got curious, and gave it a shot. I googled mybrainhurts2 and Hit #1 - my myspace page Hit #2 - my deathlist profile Nice to know I'm alive on Google.

You left yourself open for this one - I don't think we needed to know about your anatomical shortcomings. Just kidding. Don't know what it is about women with dwarfism (not just barely under the 4'10" mark)...I guess it's kinda like, "well, while you're down there, could you do me a favor? (*unzips pants*)" My wife's 5' even and my sister-in-law is about 4'10"...like Phantom's girl in college, down to the top heaviness.

I've never had sex with a dwarf either. Actually, the only time I tried chatting it up with a dwarf at a party, I was drunk and my back hurt and the only reason we saw one another was because I was sitting on the floor. Started a drunken conversation with her, and was then c**kblocked by a female friend of mine. Tried later in the evening to hook up with that friend, but she was having none of it. That dwarf has gone on to do reality TV (Charla from the Amazing Race for those keeping score), and I'm here posting this message. Where was I, oh, working at the psych hospital...plenty of funny stories from that place. Dinnertime on the geriatric ward - plenty of demented people. One evening, a demented woman got irritated...over what, i'll never know, but she had am 8oz carton of milk in her hand. She decided to toss the milk on me and rather than lifting her arm enough to hit me in the face with it, she tossed the milk all over the crotch of my shorts. All I could think was, "great, it's 5pm, and I'm here until 11pm, and I'm going to have to go throgh this shift looking like I pi$$ed myself."

I was having similar thoughts. New York Times article on the whole Astor thing some quotes from the article that are deathlist related: "Mr. Richenthal (a Broadway producer who'd worked with Astor's son) said that he had worked in an office in Mrs. Astor’s duplex apartment for the last couple of years — an apartment he said was as beautiful as when Mrs. Astor was still regularly in the spotlight. He said that her doctors had diagnosed Alzheimer’s disease several years ago and that Mr. Marshall “spends a good deal of his energy taking beautiful care of his mother.” " "Mr. Richenthal said that Mrs. Astor’s health had declined in the last 18 months or so, and that she was in an all but vegetative state. “She has no idea where she is,” he said, adding that when Mr. Marshall and his wife, Charlene, visit her, “she doesn’t know they’re in the room.” " Not at all surprising, given that the chance of developing Alzheimer's increases with age, not that I can remember the percentage of people with Alzheimer's above 80, 90, and 100 years of age. I just remember that for people over 110 years old, the incidence of dementia/Alzheimer's is 100% (or so it was when I was in college in the 1990's).

He's in the hospital again, but is expected to be released later this week. ...friggin' corpse tease...

Brooke Astor news So what if the finer things are being cut out of her life...the rest of us live without our own personal French chef (amongst other things). It's sad that her supposed caretaker is denying her medication, doctor's visits and immediate medical attention while he pays himself a boatload of money.

He might......I saw something like that on one of those ABC movies of the week garbage they used to push out and then there was that Steven Seagal person (who claims to be an actor) who lay comatose for years in a movie (Hard To Kill) and then suddenly was alive and no damage at all. If it works in the movies why not in real life too? As a footnote remember that movie also included the late actor Frederic Coffin.....(dead 3 years now this upcoming Monday) Can't forget about Kill Bill Vol. 1, Uma Thurman comes out of a coma, regains all ability (eventually) and returns to her assassin self. There are real examples of people coming out of comas after years and being a little more than a breathing tomato, but it's rare. Someone finally came out and said the word 'dialysis' and members of the medical community are questioning why Israel is bothering to keep Sharon alive at this point - in this article .

Sharon rushed to Intensive Care Unit All this effort to save a vegetable. At this point, all he'll ever be is Ariel Sharon the Tomato. Granted, the man has meant a lot to Israelis, but damn...let him go. He's not going to all the sudden wake up and ask to be taken to an all-you-can-eat buffet.

I don't know why we feed into iain's crap sometimes.

I'm just equating Foot to, say, watching (US Democratic Party head) Howard Dean for a death pool 25 years from now. Haven't a clue of who Footie is either. I just know he's old and sick and an ol UK politico, which is good enough for me.

Dead

She made a threat to her neighbor regarding the dog. The heroin addiction has her losing hair and weight with reports late last year that she was under 90lbs, had a scabby face and may have been living on the streets. She hasn't shown in court for charges related to drug and, I think, disturbing the peace. I was sold on her as a potential pick for this year.

I almost fell out of my damned chair. Thanks, I needed the laughs.

...6 degrees of separation. Four's good enough for most people though.

So was I. Just sitting at my desk, frustrated about working for the gov. I think if there were anything to blab in the UFO department, and they did land in the US and did the whole, silly "Take me to your leader" bull, they would either die laughing or just be encouraged to destroy this little rock we call Earth. Oh, saving Gerald from drowning...it would all be self-serving, since any secret service agent would probably think that guarding a sick ol' geezer is a gravy job.

I wonder if there's a correlative study around somewhere comparing average adult weight with the number of fast food restaurants per capita by country. I live in a country of fat fuggers (not to say everyone here is one). I kinda feel out of place in the US, being 5'8" and 145 lbs. Almost makes me want to chow down on a 12 piece bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken three times a day.

Most unlikely as ex-presidents enjoy 24 security protection for life, in case they start blabbering about where the crashed UFOs are hidden, or summat. They'd wade in to save him. Might be the most exciting thing you'd do looking after Ford and would probably be worth a bonus at the end of the month. There are two major methods of awarding bonuses in the government - either the agency grossly overestimated their budget and hand out bonuses every time someone wipes their a$$ correctly (according to my uncle) or there's one lump sum given toward the end of the fiscal year (where I've fallen every year). Other than that, not a whole lot goin' on. True, Ford has Secret Service around at all times, and if he starts getting demented and blabbing about UFO's...it's time for secluded, individual care or a convenient stroke or heart attack.

The American people pardoned Bill Clinton even though he lied to the entire country and sullied the reputation of Monica Lewinsky. Who can forget that whopper of "I did not have sexual relations with THAT woman"...which when one thinks on it implies that he is admitting to the Katherine Willey incident and a whole host of others including possibly Madeline Albright and Linda 'Blabber Mouth' Tripp. Now that I have spewed that, could we get this back on track to being about Gerald Ford and his lack of need for any pacemakers...What?...you never heard of Gerry and the Pacemakers? Oh, I haven't forgotten about good ol' Billy B*ow Job. On the Hilary Clinton topic (off the top of my head, I can't remember who posed this), someone wondered what Bill Clinton would be if Hilary were president. Would he be the first gentleman? I posted that he'd still be just a dirty old man.

That assumption ran through my mind every time I watched Full Metal Jacket. Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Private Joker! Private Joker: Sir, yes, sir! Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Forty-two twelve, basic military journalism. You gotta be s**tting me! You think you're Mickey Spillane? You think you're some kind of f**king writer? Private Joker: Sir, I wrote for my high-school newspaper, sir! Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Jesus H. Christ, Joker! You're not a writer, you're a killer! Private Joker: A killer, yes sir!

Maybe if Michael Foot is left outside in the heat 24 hours a day with no food or drink...yeah, he just might die. Heat on its own isn't going to determine death. Look at Gerald Ford...he's lived for years in Arizona where the temperature hits 110 in the summer. If he dies soon, it's not going to be due to heat stroke. Question for anyone in the London area...do people there have air conditioning in their homes?

It will be interesting to see whether or not King T4 attends the funeral on the 21st. Go ahead - someont put in a joke that if T4 does go to the funeral, it'll be to scout out a nice plot for himself. (oh, I guess I just tossed the joke out there)

I believe if Ford was placed back in office (again...not elected to the position), he would simply pardon Bush's supidity and Cheney for his war profiteering, much like he pardoned Nixon and Tokyo Rose.

You mean he's doing something other than term life insurance commercials?
