My doc said the first two or three thousand times he did this surgery, he was a little nervous, but it wore off.

I'm stoked. I'm ready. This is going to make me see better. It's a miracle, is what it is. I'm living in a world far beyond the scope of my imagination.

I demand to live at least three or four hundred more years, through the miracle of medical science.




... so I'll need a good pair of eyes, know what I'm talkin' about?

It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes God smiles on us. Last week, he smiled on investigative reporters everywhere, when the lawyers for Goldman, Sachs slipped on one whopper of a legal banana peel, inadvertently delivering some of the bank’s darker secrets into the hands of the public.

The lawyers for Goldman and Bank of America/Merrill Lynch have been involved in a legal battle for some time – primarily with the retail giant Overstock.com, but also with Rolling Stone, the Economist, Bloomberg, and the New York Times. The banks have been fighting us to keep sealed certain documents that surfaced in the discovery process of an ultimately unsuccessful lawsuit filed by Overstock against the banks.

Last week, in response to an Overstock.com motion to unseal certain documents, the banks’ lawyers, apparently accidentally, filed an unredacted version of Overstock’s motion as an exhibit in their declaration of opposition to that motion. In doing so, they inadvertently entered into the public record a sort of greatest-hits selection of the very material they’ve been fighting for years to keep sealed.

I contacted Morgan Lewis, the firm that represents Goldman in this matter, earlier today, but they haven’t commented as of yet. I wonder if the poor lawyer who FUBARred this thing has already had his organs harvested; his panic is almost palpable in the air. It is both terrible and hilarious to contemplate. The bank has spent a fortune in legal fees trying to keep this material out of the public eye, and here one of their own lawyers goes and dumps it out on the street.

But Wifehorn claims they told her I wouldn't stop kicking. They gave me the relax-and-vegetate juice. It didn't work. They doubled the dose. That didn't work either. Finally they gave up and put me completely under.

I think it looks reddish.

Somewhere back on PJ redheads on the forum discussed very similar experiences in operating rooms. I think it has to do with being able to survive Scandinavian or north German winters and occasional raids on Irish monasteries without noticing the spear in your side. Wikipedia

I still remember the surgeon's "Oh, sh*t." I've never had the courage to ask him about that.

What about box redheads**?

**Like bottle blondes.

If the phenomenon exists, it is supposed to be a genetic trait. Why having two copies of a recessive gene that yields redheads would affect susceptibility to anesthesia is beyond me.

Rumors are swirling that it took three tries to knock me out. Doc told me I'd be semi-conscious, "if you see a bright white light, that's the microscope so look straight at it and you'll make things easier for me."
