Did you know that nobody will do a lobotomy as elective surgery!?
I thought people had rights in this country, mutter, mumble...

Listen:
You can get our stomach miniaturized, you can have your nose mostly removed,
you can have tattoos put on and off.

They will disconnect a guy's nuts, they will surgically prevent egg-drop
pregnancies, if you just go in and say, "Gee, I'm tired of having babies,"
but if you go in and say "Gee, I'm tired of thinking all the damned time,"
they say "Too bad. Go home. Drink beer."

Not nobody? Not no how? (Sorry, couldn't resist; we just watched
_The_Wizard_of_Oz_ tonight, which was my FAVORITE movie ~well, that and
_Born_Free_ ~ from my kidhood years.)

"I'm afraid there's no denyin', I'm just a DANDY-lion (don't forget the
paw-motion here); a fate I don't desoive..." What a line, what a line!

The real question is does your policy cover elective procedures?
You'd be surprised how silly they get over alternative medicine.
Sheesh.

REALLY good.

Holly has a Shirley Temple video, with dance numbers pulled from various of
her movies, and one is with Bert Lahr. It's so cool to see him doing
something else, and he's still just like he was as the Cowardly Lion.

Didn't he look like the sweetest man?

We just got this particular WofOz tape from half.com. It was the 50th
anniversary edition and there was some footage at the end of the tape (home
movies and stuff) that was so sweet. I'm such a sucker for that stuff! It
doesn't matter how many times I've seen that movie; I still get a little
rush at the sound of the opening theme and there are parts that always
choke me up. Goofy!

Sometimes when Liam and I are out on a hike, we'll sing those three songs
("If I Only Had a Brain/a Heart/the Noive") followed by "We're Off to See
the Wizard" and we'll do the dance steps (complete with a few steps in the
wrong direction and the pointing thing). What fun!

From the Weird Stuff I Picked Up Somewhere (and haven't washed my hands
yet) File:
Some folks 'self-lobotomize' with a power drill. They call it Trepanation,
or trepanning or something. They say it doesn't hurt as much as you think
it would and that it allows their brains to 'breathe' or something.
Lots of blood 'cause it's a head wound.

I think if you were going to do it, you might want to use a cordless drill
to keep from getting all tangled up.
Ewwwwwww! ...now I've got the willy-shivers...

A quote from an article on trepanation

Thanks! I don't want to DO it, but it does sound interesting.

Also, they're saying it's not a lobotomy but could accidently become one! <g>

\When I was in the psych hospitals as a teen, one of the older nurses
explained to me, in great detail, how to do a lobotomy through the eye
socket, using nothing more than a poky metal probe thingy. Apprently they
used to do them assembly-line fashion, it's pretty easy to poke through
the top of the eye socket and then you just swish the probe around a bit.

I think she was hoping I'd decide to try it out on myself...

I think trepanning is different, it's just making holes in the skull,
rather than scrambling the frontal lobe. It was considered a legitimate
medical treatment like 100 years ago.
