I sustained my first hanger related internal injury today. After I pulled the coat hanger out and inspected it, as I always do, I couldn't help but notice a thin streak of blood on one side. I have no idea where I'm injured or how bad it is (I imagine some of the blood may have cleared off in the act of removing the hanger), but at least it doesn

Well you know, scabbypants.. as much as you are even now adept at deepthroating, I am sure that even Linda Lovelace gagged up a little blood now and again and the wizard would probably say open wider, bitch :P

How far were you down at that time? Perhaps you can at least pinpoint were you didn't get injured with a google-generated diagram. At some point your esophagus turns into something that gets a bit swirly. Keep an eye on it because if it's deep and you don't actually feel any horrid pain - which you may not, it ain't a good thing to bleed out before you find your stool resembling the Black Turd From Hell. If it is small it will not kill you and may seal itself over, if it is large, you will feel faint and probably throw up because humans don't generally like a stomach full of blood. If this get even NEAR to that..go to the ER. This is your mother speaking. AND I want an update.

Oh and I have to add because I am a lunchbucket, at first I thought you meant a real hanging injury. Nothing surprises me anymore.

(psst specially with you my new hero)

I don't have a fancy measuring device like a ruler or anything, but if you bend a coat hanger into a sword-like shape, I swallowed a couple of inches better than half of that. It's hard to pinpoint where the injury is because I can't feel it, but I figure if I'm not coughing blood or dead I'm probably just fine.

You don't have a MEASURING device in the whole house? A measuring cup, a 10 inch chihuahua, a 6 foot friend, an 8 foot sofa, a 24 foot boat? This saddens me :( Maybe I can help. Men have always said to me whilst clutching my nether regions that this

is six inches. Go from there.
Oh and looking at a hanger I guestimate that it is a good 8 inches. You are almost a 70's blonde cut, a buncha blue eye makeup and *this close* to being Linda Lovelace.

Were you here when he took Wizardry 101? He'd talk for an hour in the Shelley Common Room on a Wednesday at lunch, an incredible guy. It was fab.

[scabbypants]

I'm not sure if I was here or not! I've been here for 3 years. When was that, and what on earth is Wizardry 101?

I honestly don't remember, as I've been at Canterbury on and off since 2000 and it kinda just blurs together in parts, to be fair. I think it was someone in the UCSA's idea, but it was great, for a term or so a few years back the Wizard would come and 'lecture' on something or other every Wednesday lunchtime in the Shelley. You could just come and listen and and go or eat your lunch as you pleased, and if you were interested in any of the stuff he was talking about I seem to recall he had a bibliography handout or some such.

Wow, drunk typist = me.

from my experience with my tongue piercing vs the time i bit a hole in my tongue, poking my left tonsil with various objects, and flossing my teeth, i have noticed that small/precise cuts in areas that are generally slick with other bodily fluids seem to close up quite quickly. so i would guess that if you aren't still bleeding that you are fine.

[scabbypants]

Yeah, it's fine. I just put it back down for the first time since yesterday, and it came out clean!

Hey - Excuse my ignorance, but CNN just showed fireworks over Sidney and said they were ringing in the new year. Now, though I'm about to go to bed, so my brain may not be working; But, if I'm not mistaken, time goes west from Australia, so are you a day behind them, do you have the same time, or am I not thinking clearly and time actually goes east?

[discreet_chaos]

OK - So now I've looked at wunderground and it says that it's a little after 2AM on the morning of the first. That right, the date line is in the middle of the ocean somewhere, now I remember.

Happy New Year!

[scabbypants]

Don't you hate it when people say, "See you next year!" on New Year's?

[discreet_chaos]

It does grate on me a little because for the first couple of times, I've got to think about it.

Don't you hate that the little window on my screen feeding me CNN International stuck with tape from one of their "Future Summits", where some woman was wanting flying cars and Buzz Adrin was telling her that people couldn't be trusted to drive them, when it was New Years at your place?
