Man, that's some drug. I looked it up and the website states right out it's only a delaying action. Eegads!

This is how it was explained to me as well. "You're fucked, but this might buy you a little extra time. Enjoy the nausea and diarrhea."

Damn.

I will be meeting a doctor at the famous JAMES cancer center at Ohio State/Columbus next Monday. The JAMES, bitch!

This was largely arranged by my stepbrother who I hadn't spoken with in decades, but who has "ins" in the medical field, and was none too reticent to give me his opinions on how doctors suck and they tell you bad things just so they can look great when it turns out okay at the end, and a whole bunch of other conspiracy talk.

I am not going there for a second opinion, I am going there so people will stop telling me I should get a second opinion.

Will they offer you any sort of treatment at teh James?

I have no idea what will happen at the JAMES, bitch!

I would hope so! it's one thing to be snippy because you're tired due to efects of a cancer treatment (chemotherapy and/or radiation) and unnecessarily being an asshole to your friends.

"Just because you have an asshole, doesn't mean you have to be one."

Niggar, please. I looked up the Chappelle sketch and it was pretty funny

Or also there could be other factors affecting a person's demeanor, like learning they have terminal cancer.

I suppose that could make someone act meanor to other people.

Have you seen the Chapelle skit, Paul?

No, being an atheist, I tend not to visit chapelles.

You happy with that comment?

I will pay $1,000 to the charity of Pinback's choice if he agrees to let Tdarcos write his official obituary. The obit must contain at least three puns, two quotes from books he himself has written, and at least one quoted lyric that Pinback would not have liked. Maybe even a drawing instead of an official photo.

I will pledge $15

Only if the lyric, the song name, and the artist are all incorrect.

Down to 12

Keep poking

I've got $100 more if Commander lets CO teach him how to use ChatGPT to write said obituary.
