Random Thoughts, Sights, and Sounds - A Potpourri of Knowledge

Today's Randomness begins with a photo from a Life is good T-shirt. This is the same image that's on my t-shirt today, which is appropriate because yours truly has survived the 2007-2008 academic school year of Northeastern University's Master's Program. So how about a round of golf applause? Though, I have one more assignment, which is the stupidest most-wasteful time-consuming exercise known to man, to complete before Saturday evening.

By the way, as an FYI it will cost you $154,000 to rent a private plane for 4 passengers to take you from Rome to Boston, Something to think about as you are planning that next vacation.

Moving on to the bodily function portion of the program, comes this story about St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson, which will introduce a word never uttered on this blog.

Colonic.

In preparation for the upcoming season, Jackson felt the need to clean himself so he went and got himself a colonic. This sounds like a wonderful procedure, which everyone should experience in their lifetime and will be an hour well spent.

"Peristalsis "pushes" feces out through the hose to be disposed in a closed waste system.
The client and the colon therapist do not smell the feces. The therapist usually looks at the feces through the clear hose, and may comment on the color."

The comments from Doc usually go something like this: "You had Mexican and corn for dinner last night, didn't you. Sure looks like it was tasty."

Jackson got the idea of doing this from his girlfriend, who also got a colonic at the same time. Would that be like getting a couples massage? Also, is this something that you do with your boyfriend/girlfriend on the second date or should it be later on?

If it turns out that Jackson comes to enjoy having this procedure, he could move to Russia, as this story shows how the people in Russia feel about the enema.

"An enema is almost a symbol of our region."

Does that mean the Russians live in a shithole? They can change the name of the town to Shittown (obsecure reference to a song on the Throwing Copper CD by Live).

Our final bodily fluid reference of the day comes courtesy of new Celtics draft choice, Bill Walker. Walker, taken in the second round of Thursday night's NBA draft, gives new meaning to the expression, "When you gotta go, you gotta go" as he once took a leak on the court during a middle of game at Kansas State. I've taken a leak in some unusual, non-traditional bathroom locations (ask me about the ATM in Kenmore Square during my bachelor party), but this is a little out of the norm.

And with that, I wish all a good weekend.
