Oh, dear! Polyps were cancerous.

[Babsbrain]

Just heard on the news that the polyps were benign, so given the track record of the news, * should be dead within months.

1. Malignant = cancerous

Benign = non-cancerous.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

3. Bush says benign = they're fucking tumor cancer and high order explosive

4. To paraphrase Evelyn Waugh on Randolph Churchill

How clever of medical science to find the one bit of Bush which isn't malignant, and remove it.

8. I said something much the same when I first heard they were

"not worrisome"; the phrase used. Who knew? Guess I was "channeling" Mr. Waugh and didn't even know it. :D

link to the "evidence" lest someone here (not you, moggie) ask me to prove it.

:evilgrin:


edit to add: though my word choice was much less impressive than his. Edited to correct mistaken gender of Mr. Evelyn Waugh.

13. Evelyn was a man.

Many mens' names have turned into womens' names in the last century or more. At least in England.

Evelyn being one of them.

Also Joyce, Connie, Shirley, Beverley and Vivian. One of Oscar Wilde's sons was named Vyvyan.

Dana is still used for both boys and girls.

And in Texas, any boys' name can be given an "ie" instead of a "y" on the end and turned into a girls' name: Billie, Jimmie, Bobbie, Nikki, Rickie, Ronnie.

For some reason, Frankie has been a girls' name for a long time -- cf: "Frankie and Johnny were lovers".

19. Vivian Harris,

born in Georgetown, Guyana, and now living in the Bronx, is one of the toughest welterweight boxers in the last decade. My dad had friends named Connie (a farmer) and Beverly (a railroad worker). My younger son used to think these guys were tough for the "A Boy Named Sue" type of reason. But as you say, these used to be men's names.

20. Hee, hee. I knew I should have googled.

I wish I received so many and such prompt and factual responses when I requested information as I do when I make a mistake.

14. His, actually...

Evelyn was a man. (Kind of like a boy named Sue, huh?) :)

12. Such a lovely quote. Randolph the son, not the father of Winston.

15. HOly cow patties Batman, that was great

How clever of medical science to find the one bit of Bush which isn't malignant, and remove it.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

17. Ah... a great writer and very good friend of my Uncle.

Thanks for the quote. :toast:

Edited for having 2 glasses of wine in the afternoon. :P

6. Yes. According to the current pie hole correction

factors, the polyps were not only occupying neighboring organs, but they were having the oncologists phones tapped.

25. The humor in this thread eludes me. One thing I never kid about.

[Babsbrain]

26. You have a point

As good citizens, we should do unto others what we would have them do unto us.

When the current administration starts treating us with respect and compassion, we shall do the same.
