Re: Been forty years...
Do you remember going to sleep there?
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

If I have to drag it out one word at a time, this thread is going to be longer than the "Kill this thread" thread.

Re: Been forty years...
I got blown up one too many times. By the time I dragged my sorry ass back to base I was feeling rather poorly. They put me under and kept me that way through a few days stabilization, a flight to the PI, several weeks there, and a flight to CONUS. They woke me up in San Diego to tell me where I was, then put me back under for a further two weeks or so.FBM wrote:If I have to drag it out one word at a time, this thread is going to be longer than the "Kill this thread" thread.

Oddly enough, this sounds like it was a good thing at the time. Don't ask me how I know that...

There was some thrashing around at the time, so sleeping was beneficial. Plus the safety of the medical staff was considered to be important.FBM wrote:Oddly enough, this sounds like it was a good thing at the time. Don't ask me how I know that...

While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

Zilla, you should tell the whole story. The Dawktor passed it on to me after his visit. Amazing!

Forgive me, Ratz, for being old and a little spooked today.

Re: Been forty years...
It's been my experience that telling the story of harrowing times eases up the spookiness of the special days.
these are things we think we know
these are feelings we might even share
these are thoughts we hide from ourselves
these are secrets we cannot lay bare.
