Now, in a few posts, I think we can actually say what's in the articles, however, I thought some warning was necessary. Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
Yeah, and monkeys might fly out of my...
Oh, wait.

That was gross. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go eat supper.
Posted by Ela (Member # 1365) on :
Kayla, do you have time on your hands or something?
That was truly gross.
::goes to eat dinner::

I'm also about to eat supper.

Wasn't it Chaeron that posted a link to a site that had pictures of a man in the East with Cerebral Myiasis?
Now that was some nausea, as I recall. BLEH.

Thank you, Kayla, for reminding me of The Botfly Incident of 2002. Our little kitten had this strange lump on her neck. We took her to the vet. The vet said, "Just watch it."(she knew, Kayla, she knew what we were to watch, but did not tell us.)
A few days later, the area was a raw, open wound, and very infected-looking, so we brought her back in. The vet said, "Oh, yeah, just what I thought. A botfly. You should see how gross it is when we have to remove them!"
Ahhhh. Botflies lay their eggs in the entrance to rodent holes. Rodents breath them in. They grow under the skin, then hatch through the skin.
And they happen to humans.
AHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I watched a TV show where two people related their botfly stories... It scarred me for life...
On anther note... Anyone reminded of The Mummy?

I am shuddering, just thinking about it, Ryuko.

Yes, but one has nothing to do with the other.
Apparently, they were talking about it today on the radio. My husband asked me to find out if it was true, so I did. Posted by Ela (Member # 1365) on :

Thank you Kayla :-)
My eyebrow shot up in morbid fascination. I could easily see myself with a pair of forceps and a net, with this excited look of intrigue on my face, trying to capture a live specimen.
I just hope this poor boy is ok.

Kayla,
this was a very surprising post from someone who got creeped out from some harmless information I gave out on dust mites.
Actually, I think I can deal with anything after the tongue (and other parts best unmentioned) piercing thread.

Steve, no kidding! It was all my husbands fault and I haven't slept since!

Gee, wish I had time on my hands... Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :
To get it, are you willing to be as crazy as I am? It's amazing how much time one has on ones hands when after losing one's mind. Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
What about me? Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :
Obviously, not as crazy as I.
[Edit: I, me? as crazy as I am, right?]

--I-- think that's crap. Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Well, the site does agree that it is "another ordinance that's out of date." Posted by TwosonPaula (Member # 5511) on :
"It is I" would be grammatically incorrect in almost any (if not all) situation(s). It think it's because "I" should not be the object, rather when it's the object you're talking about, it should be "me."
Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :
Yeah, stuffy formality, that's me.
mack, you need tips on how to be governmentally certifiable?
Actually, the government has that relativly new program "Ticket To Work." Now, I just need to figure out how to use it. I still think I'd be pretty good doing something online.
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Without working medication, I AM governmentally certifiable.

Grrr. I tried to find the right part of Jack Lynch's site to back me up -- but it won't load. Most likely because he is hosted by Rutgers, and I have a feeling their servers are currently down. Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
Rivka, you are absolutely right. mack's not wrong often, but she is here.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Thanks, Icarus.
Actually, I find it incredibly amusing to be on this side of the argument. For years my mom has been correcting me every time I say, "and me." I had this site marked originally because I showed it to her to back up my claim that both versions were considered acceptable now. Posted by Suneun (Member # 3247) on :
I read an article on the bbc news today, and thought of this thread.
More eeew/cool/gah! stories.
Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your turkey-day food

Poor puppy! No, it's not gross. I'm glad the puppy's doing better now and has a home to go to.
