I’ve had SO many bad experiences with needles! Even reading these posts is causing me to squirm!! Not only was I forced to have FOUR teeth removed aged 10, I jerked so violently when he stuck it in that the needle bent and snapped, meaning I had to spend ANOTHER 10 minutes shaking in the waiting room whilst they found another one!
After that I’ve had to endure the course of HVP jabs to prevent cervical cancer, and the two I’ve had so far have caused me to hyperventilate, pass out and vomit. Nice. The final injection is in March. Can hardly wait.
I also had the joy of a boy at school looking for some ‘fun’ by stealing a sewing needle from the textiles room and stabbing me in the arm with it as I talked to my friends one afternoon- what is WRONG with people today? Surely that can’t be healthy?

Basically I can relate to this far more than I’d like and would probably do the same as Ryan given half the chance!

I’m with you. Hate the needles. During a recent visit, I was told to “cowboy up”. WTF? I said, “Fine. You stick me, I get to kick you in the nads”. Seemed fair.

And who are Lindsy and Danielle, single ladies? If so, will they be at the zillionaire lounge on new years to fight over me when the clock strikes midnight?

STick with cletus the fetus, it’s just a down home, good-hearted name for a fetus. Then you can name it Doc Boy, or Roscow when it is born and move out to the country, maybe Omak or something, and buy a chicken farm. THat would be so zillionairesque! By the way, how come Dave hasn’t commented for a while? Is he too busy in livin’ it up in NY?

I’ve been using “alien inside my wife’s stomach” lately. Fortunately, I only have two more weeks before learning if I’m X or Y.

Your addiction to Halo 2 is about as difficult to quit as smoking. That and black tar heroin. We used to talk about that scene with Jason Mapes.

More disturbing is if people struggle with my references to “pop culture” that doesn’t include “Real World – Austin” or “The O.C.” just shows my age, I guess.

Remember the scene in “The Basketball Diaries” when Jim Carroll (aptly played by Leo Di Caprio) was in an abandoned building with some junkies? The question was “Why snort it [heroin] when you can freebase? … And why freebase it, when you can shoot it?”

After this post, I suspect Matt would stick with the freebasing, if he forced to choose a life of heroin use.

Uh Matt, your blushing bride asked me to stop calling it “Cletus the Fetus” and I got the go ahead on “Womb Goblin” so feel free to steal that.

Sigh… (that’s me sighing.)

I’m using the title “The Fetus” because, as of right now, that’s the biologically correct term. I’m using this terminology mainly for newcomers to the site, as it’s clear we are expecting a baby… and don’t actually have one yet. And since we don’t know the sex yet, this term isn’t gender specific either.

However, I admit, “The Fetus” isn’t very flattering. I wouldn’t mind using a different name. Maybe Cletus? As in “Cletus the Fetus”…

Obviously, I’m accepting suggestions.
