a rare and mysterious affliction

There is, of course, much to be concerned about in this great, wide, wondrous world of ours.

And it is "ours" in the sense that the planet earth, as well as the universe with all it's wonders should continue to exist with our input. Or would it? Does "thinking" create it so?

Anyway, not the point.

Am afflicted by a rare and mysterious syndrome. Involuntary spasms of the diaphragm. First happened when Val Kilmer came to my notice on a TV screen some 20 years ago.

Thankfully, have been free of the problem until recently. Oh, who can I sue. Government funded TV has provoked the problem, yet again.

I keep forgetting to check your blog so it was nice to hear from you.

Jesus was illiterate and didn't write either, and they made up a lot of crap about him.

He enjoyed his booze and nooky as much as the next guy.

are you talking about this affliction?

Is this condition contagious, Davo? I can think of one grouch who seriously needs a dose -- the grumpus dissed my last post as well. Now, what was the topic again?

Davoh said...

Dunno what all that was about over there, Hip .. but I thought it funny.

Heck, in medical journals they call this affliction Hiccups. (Now how does Val Kilmer create hiccups ;-> )

I've recently found the Gil Mayo Mysteries, quite amusing! Then again, I tend to like weird stuff with a dry humour. Sadly SBS have stopped showing it.

Laughter's supposed to be the best medicine, the pain's just a side effect. Davo -- you're incurable. Feel free to spread it around. :0)

There was a joke?

Everytime I have a Mac cheese burger I hiccup, Why?

Had hiccups constantly at Barnardo's-had to swallow fast before the kid next to you stole it.

Gah .. I have a stiff neck. Tried a new sex drug the other night, but didn't swallow it fast enough.
