Japanese Rain Goggles...
There was an episode of 'Two And A Half Men' where Charlie Sheen's character made reference to having been the recipient of said goggles during sex play between himself and Jenny McCarthy...
Of course, I've heard of beer goggles, but I don't think that's the same thing... I wonder if there are such a thing as margarita goggles... ??? I'm not sure how smart that would be , given how my head hurts now...
Supposedly, the internet was overwhelmed by people searching to see what they had been missing in their sex lives...
Was Gene Wilder looking at Japanese Rain when he wore these? I wonder if I could wear goggles like these in the class room? I wonder what the students would think?? Or even worse, what would the administration think???
Now that I think about it, that is probably what my ENT wore when he did my sinus surgery last week. If I was a doctor, that's what I would do... convert the Operating Room into the laboratory scene from Frankenstein...
... and any good doctor needs an able-bodied assistant. I don't know if I would want this assistant... especially if I were a woman receiving a boob job (see last post for reference)...
I went back to the dr yesterday for the post -op check up. The best news is that he removed some stints that he had left in... he asked me how I had been doing, and I told him that the previous 10 days were the worst days I had ever endured.
He used what appeared to be a medical version of a shop-vac to run up into my sinuses and get remaining gook out... If I take my pain medication and I, I feel somewhat ok... I can't wait to start feeling half way normal again.
When I don't feel well, I like to take baths... long, hot baths... and I've been known to doze off from time to time... and I got to thinking... damn, what if I dozed off taking a bath and drowned... and how serious the obituary would have to be... or how seriously it would be received by the reading public...???
This is the flotation device, complete with goggles, that I have decided to purchase.
however, I've been told that they make 'arm floaties' that come in the shape of dinosaurs...
I know what I want for Christmas!!
I wonder if it comes in adult sizes????
My head hurts...

Hot baths r good to soothe the soul. If u can stand candles, Glade "Creamy Custard" is a very relaxing one. It would not hurt to have a margarita as well. I usually have only the candle light.
ReplyDeleteI wish u had a place where u compiled all ur music videos preferably with categories like when I am blue ot this makes me smile. Tonight is a sleepless night for me. I am using ur blogspot to listen to ur music videos so I can think about things. U r a great reference to music. And for that I thank u.

Lucky for you the obits rarely tell how the deceased actually dies anymore. You can sometimes tell if they suggest that donations be made to The American Cancer Society or something like that, but otherwise it is a RARE thing for an obit to give out the news. Now, the media hounds looking for a story might be a whole different beast. There might actually be an article about your "accident" somewhere else in the paper if the gossip is good. If it don't got juice, it don't get written. That is just where we live.
ReplyDeleteOn the plus side, I am thinking that you would have to be REALLY asleep to drown in the tub. Humans are made with super strong survival instincts. Plus, you will probably be feeling tons better in a couple of days.
Have you tried a meditation CD? Those work well for me.
OHHH!! I just emailed you before seeing this post. I will have to say even in light of how much pain you are in, you seem to still have a great sense of humor to get you through this. HMMM now you got me wondering about the goggles too..
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this weather hasn't been much of help either with your recovery.
Dinasour floaty!! LOVE IT!!
Thanks for the very amusing post and the reference to Young Frankenstein. It's always been a favorite of ours. We know this isn't an easy time for you and we appreciate your positive attitude.
ReplyDeleteI don't need rain ones, but I could do with a pair of those Steampunk goggles, though.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Joshua... aren't those Steampunk goggles cool?

Nothing to do with the blog, but after reading the title, I can't stop singing that Elton John song with the same name. (It was Elton John, wasn't it?)
ReplyDeleteI hope you're getting better.
It's a slow mend here, Kate... but I'm working on it.
DeleteI will have to look to see if Elton John sang a song about Japanese Rain Goggles. Based on some definitions I've seen, it might be something he would be into... ;o)

you just can't beat arm floaties. my son used to wear those things all the time... even around the house... and not at bath time. LOLOLOL
ReplyDeletethat would be the saddest funniest obit... i would be crying through fits of giggles while reading it.
I'm thinking that if one had a soft spot in his skull, he could wear an arm floaty around his head to prevent further damage...
DeleteHow are the dogs today? Alive??
~shoes~
they are still alive... but the day is still young.
Deletei'm thinking: arsenic in dog bones.
:)
or... send them swimming without their goggles and arm floaties. OR! arm floaties out of cinder-block...
Cinder block arm floaties... isn't that what Al Capone and some of his cronies would do to their enemies??
DeleteAresenic in dog bones sounds so... passive aggressive... don't you think?

God. I'd make you chicken soup or something if I lived closer. Hubby, who doesn't even LIKE chicken soup says mine is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better all the time. What a shit thing to have to go through.
Seems like people who work where you do are going through an awful lot of health problems. I wonder...
Good morning, Ms Ami...
DeleteHave you ever wondered/realized that when we are sick, a chicken has to die?
I know from a 'seriousness' stand point, this type of surgery isn't all that, but it sure is 'uncomfortable'... blah...
I think we are all just getting old around here... *cries*

@ Stormy... the pain pills that the dr has prescribed preclude alcohol... so I am having to wait until I can indulge... as I've stated before, I've been told that I become belligerent when I drink margaritas.
ReplyDelete@ Robin... yeah, I guess we don't see those obituaries of where a fellow falls into an asphalt grinder, guess that would offend family members...
You know, I haven't tried a meditation cd... I might need to look at one.
@ Music... a dinosaur floaty with goggles... now that's a great idea! I try to stay upbeat about things. Did you all enjoy your trip??
@ Jack... I LOVE 'Young Frankenstein!!' I had read where they went out and found the original laboratory equipment from the first two 'Frankenstein' movies...
I'm slowly turning the corner...

Poor Shoes. Sounds like a miserable couple of weeks. I'm so glad you're on the mend. Even when you're not, you're hella funny. You should have your own show, or a column, or something :)
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Ms Annie...
ReplyDeleteI'm on a slow mend here...
As for Life, I just look for those things that that exist or happen that makes us utter, 'What The Fuck?!?!?!'
You know what I mean...
How are you today??
~shoes~
Make sure you don't drown naked wearing goggles, Shoes! I know, when you gotta go, you gotta go, just lose the goggles first, right? Hope you'll be feeling better soon my traveling friend.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I still need to write Gene Wilder that letter I've been meaning to write him since I first saw The Woman in Red. I think he's great.
