I have something to tell you.
I'm wearing one of those surgical cones around my neck...the kind that puppies wear after they have surgery to keep them from chewing their stitches.

I'm doing an experiment to see if it impacts how I post.

1. so far, I can't see a difference, but if you are impacted then that is
of course, a problem.

3. The only time in my life that I have been impacted...
was during initiation for my college fraternity "Yo-Kina-Zu", when they made me eat a 40 pound bag of concrete.

2. Can you see how your fingers impact the letters?
Edited on Sat Jul-11-09 10:08 PM by janx
Or are you blind to that because of the cone?

5. Don't panic yet...
you're doing well! Imagine what a dog has to go through, wearing one of those cones.

You are doing well!

9. When my male dog was neutered...
the poor thing swelled up so bad. He had one of those cones on his head...

I sat up with him for two nights straight, all night, on work nights.

I felt so bad for him....he just whined, so all I could do was hold him and comfort him...

I was thinking about that today...probably what compelled me to post this...

11. But he had to have the cone,
and that's understandable.

10. I might try that....
The reason they put the cone on me is because I could not stop sticking my tongue in my electrical outlets...

13. okay, we might be on to something here
do you talk to women after you stick your tongue in the electric sockets? I mean that could cause you to make animal noises and flare your nostrils.

16. There is something else that you need to know...
when a woman says hello to me, I grimace and wet myself.

18. again, is that becaused you lick electric outlets
before you speak to women?

the "elizabethian" collar - the cone you are wearing may help you stop licking the outlets.

29. just keep your mouth closed and don't flare your nostrils
and I would think licking the electrical outlets if more painful.

12. Then
I double dog dare you to go into GD and start a, hmm lets see, either a babies at movies poll (approve or disapprove) or perhaps hard core pornography as a pure art form (yes or no)

They don't have enough to argue about over there right now being caught up in rec'd and unrec'ds and all. Oh, that and religion.

15. But this discussion has nothing to do with that.

This one is all about the CONE.

27. I think the CONE could take on some new philosophical points...
Edited on Sat Jul-11-09 10:43 PM by janx
That's what Im trying to get at, although I'll be asleep in half an hour.

We could have some CONE metaphysics going on here, but I'd only be dreaming about them.
