Make A Random Statement About Something Nobody Should Care About

[ER]

I need a job that doesn't start quite as early in the morning and allows me to stay in bed and cuddle up to my wife more.

Slip 'n fall artists set their own hours.

Alas while I lack in morals I do have some standards that prevent me joining that crowd.

I had a chance to buy a Yamaha RX50 back in the early '90s, but was talked out of it. I recently found out they never sold those things, but rather, they were raffled off for several years as a marketing gimmick. Boy, wouldn't you love to see a promotion like that again!

Handy tip: If you suspect someone is in your house, yell out, "Somebody...." 

And the other person will be irresistibly compelled to sing back, "...once told me..."

Every so often I find myself wandering back to someone I used to listen to in the late 70's, early 80's. Gary Numan. He has done some good stuff over the years and one of these days I need to pick up some of his newer albums. I've liked Savage (especially My Name Is Ruin) for several years now.

Tyler Perry was a better Alex Cross than Morgan Freeman.

Nobody is better at anything than Morgan Freeman.

Morgan Freeman played Dracula on the Electric Company. 

RC, get him. 

Yeah.  What was the question?

For a minute I was wondering why you were so desperate for some rum.

So I found out today I have cancer. Not a scary cancer, a dime a dozen type of cancer pretty darn far down the worry list. I mean if pancreatic cancer is a category 5 hurricane, my little skin cancer would be a dust devil. But still I have the dubious honor of being able to announce with awe: I have officially have cancer.

Fair-skinned people like me (thanks, Celts!) have elevated risks of skin cancer to begin with, and a few years ago my vanity got the best of me and I underwent a cosmetic procedure that later turned out to increase risks of skin cancer even farther.

Is that to blame? I'll never know, but when the company contacted me years ago in exchange for agreeing never to sue the makers of the laser that was used or the clinic where my original procedure went down, I was offered a package of advanced skin cancer screenings for ten years, with the bonus of anything suspicious or confirmed as being cancerous would be removed at no cost.

I had seen this spot but not paid much attention to it, and after my diagnosis came back today on one of those cautionary checkups, I kind of went, huh, okay, and was told I'd have to have this teeny tiny speck on my skin removed and it'd be a ten-minute in and out deal at the doctor's office, no more pain than a pinprick, and then I'd get a band-aid and be able to go back to work all within my lunchtime. I wouldn't even exactly be left with a scar, just a pale discoloration in the area. (Which is under my right shoulder where the upper chest merges.)

Doesn't sound so bad, and I'm not worried, but it is odd and it's still sinking into my mind that...hey, I technically have cancer.

Best wishes that it's a one time only occurrence, ER!!!

I remember hearing Are Friends Electric when it was released: that synthesizer and the line "the light fades out" gave me chills.

Hugs ER, I am sure everything will be fine.
