Somewhere in Texas, rhorho is wondering how much more shoe humor we can endure…
It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
I just wish is was Ursa Kleb throwing the shoes at the descendent of a Carpetbagging Yankie.
How’s the hangover you were dreading, Uncle Fester?
Fine thanks. And you?
Damn – missed that sneaky insert. Just snorted coffee aaaagin…
Wow, that was easy. Just started my day, and now it’s done.
Whatever will I do with all of the extra time???
I find if you wait for it to start, drop a little over the dose of pseudoephedrine, and between three and four times the dose of Ibuprofen (I eat painkillers like sweets, I’m afraid. Look up TRigeminal Neuralgia some time. It’s a hoot), a proton pump blocker (to protect my stomach lining), and since I was having a bad day, REM suppressants (some of us aren’t innocent when we dream… Tom Waits is a great poet, but he sometimes gets a reality gap) and I wake up around noon ready for eggs and bacon with the UK verson of Ramen noodles for MSG
D@mn, Unc! What kind of pain sensation do you experience?
It’s a little like having my face opened with a blunt, rusty, bayonet style can opener to the centre line. I’m told it’s almost classical in it’s purity of expression.
SSRIs keep it manageable. I’m lucky like that.
I’m glad you used the word “manageable.” The Wiki entry is quite
dire. Is surgery possible, should the manageability fade?
You end up looking like you’ve had a stroke.
I’m currently studying Vispassana meditation, against the drugs no longer working :¬> Based on my research, it’s one of the most reliable drug freepain management methods.
Fortunately, I’m pretty resistant to pain out of the box. Genetic quirk from my late father.
However, TN could reduce me to rocking back and forth and occasionally whimpering… Imagine a root canal, with no anaesthetic that never stops and affects both jaws, your forehead and eye socket… I’m not a ‘self harm’ kind of guy, but I could REALLY get the joke on why the French call it the Suicide Disease.
I think I would rather look like I’ve had a stroke than
beg to be killed. I hope the V. meditation works, or at
least helps. I’m glad you’re more pain tolerant than
most. The TN will make full use of that trait of yours,
certainly. Is it triggered by touching a certain spot on
your face?
no, I’ve not found the trigger, other than forgetting to take my SSRI.
“I’m currently studying Vispassana meditation, against the drugs no longer working :¬> Based on my research, it’s one of the most reliable drug freepain management methods.”

I had a chronic bad back for years. Acupuncture knocked out, I’d say about 80% of the problem. Worth a try if you haven’t already.
@Tessie: Tried it… it didn’t work for that on me… but it did work on my sinus problem…
Have you tried Wasabi for flare ups? Something about making the trigeminal do it’s actual job can interrupt the “not really my job” signals that are the sorce of the pain. It could make it worse- but some research is showing that it actually helps when a flare occurs (Wasabi is great for trigerring trigeminal activaiton- ithat is what makes you knees shiver when you eat sushi!)- so when you forget your SSRIs.
Have you gotten it checked to make sure it’s not cancer? My grandfather was diagnosed with TN last October, last January he found out it was actually a tumor behind his eye, died in April from it.
I’d get it checked.
They X-rayed my face, and I got the all clear on that. thanks, anyway :¬)
Are you not a suitable candidate for nerve decompression rather than selective nerve damage, then? (Is that what you were in Paris for the other week? I read the best work on TN is being done in France…)
No, we were in Paris to celebrate the fact my wife has found my manifest shortcomings and character flaws ‘merely charming’ for 24 years…
The French are to neurology what the Germans are to cancer, however
Bloody hellfire… that’s a picker-upper. Ramen noodles with an egg over-the-top is fine. Egg and bacon fine. All three? Room for Tabasco or Worcestershire or PMU there?
Sounds like uni food.
Strange to say, that’s where I found the recipe…
After that much ‘brufen, I’m not sure Tabasco would be a good idea.
“TRigeminal Neuralgia”
`
If I remember my anatomy classes correctly, the trigeminal nerve goes all the way across one side of your face/head. Most people are familiar with it from getting the occasional shot of novocain at the dentist positioned such that it paralyzes one whole side of your face, so that you can’t even blink, and drool for hours. I shudder to imagine what it would be like to have the same area suffering neuralgia (nerve pain) rather than numbness.
Pretty much… there’s a picture of the nerve layout behind my name.
You can trace the patten in the pain :¬)
TN is one of the many reasons why I hope that the study of those genetically unable to feel pain will provide some sort of results soon.
I lived with constant pain from my jaw joint across the rest of my cheek from when I was six (1989) until February of this year. It turns out my jaw joint was displaced and had created a situation where it had trapped a bit of muscle and nerves under it. It ground across them everytime I attempted to move my mouth which caused a great deal of pain I could never describe (didn’t matter, my parents didn’t believe me anyway).
I had impacted wisdom teeth removed this year and the joint slipped the muscle/nerve out on it’s own during the procedure and the pain is gone now. I will always have a displaced jaw joint, a frayed muscle strand, random pain flares from the nerve that was trapped and strict orders not to chew on that side of my mouth (hard foods and excessive chewing are also no no’s) but the overwhelming pain that consistently radiated across my jaw and cheek are gone. We discovered the cause only late last year because my dental doctors weren’t sure it wasn’t Trigeminal Neuralgia and I had an x-ray done that confirmed it wasn’t. I was incredibly lucky and I really wish you all the best.
I had 3 of my 4 wisdom teeth out in my 20s… Orthopaedic surgeon, rather than ENT, so I had minimal TMJ problems (and minimal soft tissue damage…)
For what is an ongoing problem of that sort, I’d recommend seeing an Old School Osteopath (not a Chiro… they tend not to know soft tissue anatomy as well as the Old School Osteo…)
As I say, my TN is managed by SSRIs and occasional Cranial Ostopathy, which a friend of mine does…
Time wounds all heels…
Why doesn’t time wound bad puns?
Cuz they be BAAAAAAD.
Seems like a mighty long time
(shoe-bop, shoe-bop, my baby, ooh)
Sheesh – all your fault, m’dear. Next time, just say First so everyone else can reply in autopilot. I can’t think of shoe puns this late.
It is all my fault, for not being a troll. Do you know who Jon Stewart is?
There’s a convo starter…
Confession – Wikipedia brought me up-to-speed. We don’t get him here at all, but we do have a few comedians who are notoriously good at sharp political observation & interaction – whilst still being able to hide under a “comedy” flame-blanket in case of blowback. Personally, I love the approach – if you’ve got the arsenal and the bullet-proof vest…
You may want to check for a pod cast, of both Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. Jon does the “fake news,” and Stephen plays around with Poe’s Law for a living. They’re both on the Comedy Central website. (top two choices on link under my name)
Where’s ‘Here’ OMG?
Sydney. Unless you’re on pay TV, there are only five stations, and Comedy Central doesn’t do a run here.
We don’t get Colbert, but we get the Daily Show on Freeview DVB on the E4 channel
Stephen Colbert used to be a fake field reporter for the Daily Show. He’s on the website under my name above.
I used to watch Coblert on Comedy Central…
Rather like Alan Partridge, Ali G or Borat, he’s too close to reality for me to find funny.
Give him a chance, I didn’t like him when he was still on the Daily Show, and I didn’t like his show at first either. Now, I love it. Rho’s right, what’s so funny about it is that it’s so over the top ridiculous yet you know there are people who think that way for real.
They mostly post on PK…
Yes, he mimics that style, but does so without that requisite “Inbred Chic” je ne sais quoi.
It’s not too late for you to get your sweet deific ass out of Texas, you know.
Deific or just deified?
I thought deific < deified, such that deific = god-like; whereas deified = made into a god. Correct me if I’m wrong, though.
I think his shining moment was the press dinner at the white house or whatever it was. Apparently someone had heard of him, but didn’t look into the show much so he was one of the performers.
I seem to remember it going down rather well…
That was classic. I’m sure it was the first time in years Bush had heard someone question his judgement. He looked quietly PIS*ED!
It wasn’t just Bush–all the reporters Colbert told off for not doing their jobs were mightily pissed, as well…
Isn’t he sort of like a more erudite version of Bob Boudelang? I miss that guy.
Its on Comedy Channel here just hours after airing in the US. I watch it here in Melbourne when I see it on.
Second
In bed. Now go away.
Coming second in bad is surely a good thing…
Coming second bad in bed? Coming second in bad bed? Coming badly in second bed? I’m tired and I wanna go to bed… bad.
And now I AM going to bed. Badly!
Nighty-night…
Be innocent when you dream ;o)
Not if you have a selfish lover!
Two questions: Did that guy leave without shoes on, or did he bring extra shoes to throw, like Oddjob? Q2: Is a ‘Bush supporter’ just another name for French girl underwear? *oh, ews*
‘Leave’… interesting use of the term. ‘Dragged off’ was more accurate. And to the best of what I can see, he was dragged off barefoot.
Thanks.
I was thinking the same thing! This just HAD to happen the Monday AFTER TDS and TCR signed off till the new year.
i jsut watched the video that it the quickest i have ever sen the bush administration move
