Just in case someone missed it, an eel crawled up some guy's peener.

I know children are hungry, we're at war, people's jobs are being shipped overseas.

Unemployment is higher than shit. Wages are down. We've always been at war with someplace.

But, don't forget, an eel crawled up some guy's peener into his bladder.

That is, of course, the most important story in the universe.

I hate this shit.

Anyone else?

1. What's a peener? Although I did read about the eel that crawled up a guy's penis.

3. Heh.

You made a funny.

[lonestarnot]

2. Didn't even look at that pile.

4. Are you referring to his deedicle? n/t

[Kennah]

6. Or his tallywhacker? I think it had a mole.

5. As a former medic

this is actually funny in a sick way... the kind of dark humor after a bad MCI. Don't ask me to explain how this fits into the actual zeitgeist... trust me... it does,,, at least to this old, jaded medic.

7. It's all relative ...

... and sometimes one needs an outlet. If I dwell on the details too much, when there ain't shit I can do about it, it overwhelms me.

Unemployed, that's running out before long, not sure how likely any extension of benefits are, no prospects, in bankruptcy, house on the cusp of foreclosure, technically in HAUP program, but that's temporary and if unemployment runs out I won't even be able to pay that, no job prospects that are real, and on and on.

A lady in my job club is moving out of the place she's renting, and in with friends to avoid being homeless. We were talking some today and I was giving her some details about getting meds from Canada.

10 year old got upset and hit a kid earlier this week. In talking with him, he was lashing out and upset over the thought of Dad not finding a job and worried about the future.

It's a shit sandwich, and there's a whole lot more than just 14 months of it to chew. For tens of millions.

8. I told my SO about last night's thread about it. I told him of all places I read

it on DU, LOL. I belong to several other "general" boards and would have thought that story would be on one of them instead of here.

9. We have a case of either the worlds largest diameter urethra

or the worlds smallest eel. (Which are fish, by the way. Not skillful crawlers.)

10. Thanks SO MUCH.

I had just put away the brain bleach.

11. Didn't read the article in question...

...but I did see an episode of River Monsters where a leetle tiny catfish called a candiru apparently makes such a habit of doing this that you don't want to be takin' a leak in some parts of the Amazon River...


I missed the point again, didn't I...
