George sez:

How can you POSSIBLY have a fat priest? That’s like having a priest that publicly shows off his cock ring.

Some things defy context.

Joe update #7

It’s noon here on Tuesday, and Joe has finally been moved (or is in the process of moving) into his own room. He’s out of ICU and we’re looking at a late-this-week total release for him.

And a note for all you intrepid well-wishers out there: please don’t break out your Sherlock Holmes outfit [...]

No Voicemail show this week.

Just a quick note to confirm what most people know. There will be no voicemail show this week. We took the time to go visit Joe down in Tucson while he was recovering from his surgery.

Big thanks to Alan Smith for setting up a phone in number for everyone to leave a voicemail [...]

Joe update #6

I got a chance to see Joe briefly on Sunday. And by “I”, I’m of course referring to me, Sheila, NJ, Mike, Lorrie, Kris of cheesecake fame and James, yet another random extended family member of Mike’s who was staying at his house.

He was still in ICU with the hopes of moving to [...]

Joe update #5

8:01 AM MST

Joe’s dad, Bob, called me this morning. Joe came out of surgery around midnight and is currently recovering in ICU. Since they didn’t take anything more than a big chunk of Kuato out of him, he’ll probably only spend a few days in the hospital. Bob says the doctors should have [...]

Joe update #4

10:15 PM MST

Final update for tonight. Mike called me an hour ago, and I’ve been pondering what to write. So here goes.

The prognosis is pretty shitty. The operation is over and the doctors have decided that Joe’s cancer is inoperable. Hey — now you have an “i” word to hate.

It’s spread [...]

Joe update #3

6:30 PM MST

More updates from TusconTucson. Seems that the prep is taking quite a while. This isn’t just some simple knock-out-let’s-go situation. He’s got a few parsecs of lines, drips and hoses inside of him now and is about to get an epidural. Guess those things take time.

The surgeon just spoke [...]

Joe update #2

6:03 PM MST

Oh, how I love the marvels of modern medicine. We can wipe out smallpox, but we can’t figure out what the big hand and the little hand mean.

Joe has not been taken in for his procedure yet. He’s prepped. He’s ready. And 1.5 hours ago, Mike had been informed that [...]

Joe update #1

4:20. How appropriate for the time they start sticking tubes inside of him with all kinds of happy juice. It’s serendipity, I tell you.

Looks like we’re about to start. Cut straight, ya bastards!
