As soon as you realize <i>man, those are really my ONLY two options</i>, a sort of sickening fear sets in, like when you were a kid riding a roller coaster for the first time; you almost want to cry; you start praying: please God; please; just let me get to the bottom and coast to a stop; please; please. And then He lets you and you walk back up the hill.

Tsk tsk. I have insurance, and scarcely do it anyway for fear of getting injured. Kingsley,

I've been reading the Aubrey-Maturin novels by Patrick O'Brian, one after the other. They're fantastic. Also, I gruesomely broke my foot longboarding; which means, having no medical insurance, that I now must work 24-7 to pay off exorbitant medical bills. I figure this thread is dead so I can go off topic to answer your question. Speaking of gruesome accidents, have you seen the extended version of <i>The Return of the King</i>? Watch especially for the moment when Aragorn and Gimli take turns whacking the mutant one-eyed orc lieutenant, Gothmog. Tolkien spins dizzily in his grave. I am reading Ezra Pound's <i>Cantos</i> through for the second time, and learning to love, really love, Bob Dylan; and I got rejected by a girl. Thanks, Danithew.

Bring it on, Coffey--buffoon, crank, moron. My bishop, Nate Jackson, presides over the Provo 8th Ward (if you would like to get in touch with him); but I'm warning you, he's young and sports a <i>really</i> progressive haircut, and reads books. “It may be time to have to speak to Bishops and Stake Presidents.”
