Polyman's answers

For a final peek at the answers to Polyman's
Pi vs Phi question, scroll down to his now buried
post near the bottom of the blog. I'd like to
resurrect this topic because I think there's a lot
more to discuss. (Especially if Trewthinalliam will
come back and jump in).

Trewthinalliam is a working man now. I will try to get ahold of him and get him back on the topic.

What the? When did I?

No wonder my keys don't work anymore.

Well this will be an uncomfortable walk out to my car at lunch.

I wonder when I became unemployed...

Chop has what he has defined as OMB (old man's back) which I assume he inherited from his old man. In the later case I think it is cause by intense analysis of mathematical concepts, in the former by over exertion and perhaps wrestling, jousting and general tomfoolery at the Playzow.

...and I, for one, have known I didn't have a real job for years..but I thought the rest of you guys...well, what can I say...there goes the neighborhood.

Thats right Ethunk... everyone knows that I should never be accused of ever having wrestled, jousted or partaken in any sort of general tomfoolery, even in my fledgling days. Quite to the contrary, I have been ever a studious, scholarly, well mannered owl from the day I first cracked out of the egg...(hic)....(burp)....(hic)!

Yes folks, I have been self diagnosed with OMB. It is a terrible affliction which causes one to have terrible trouble standing, walking, lifting things or any other everyday chore. I came back to town on wednesday to see a chiropractor and he told me that I was going to need to come in for two more appointments the next day and the day after that. So I called Mrs. Swank (wonderful woman by the way) and asked if it would be all right if I stayed in town, she told me to ask the snack bar manager. I called the snack bar and asked for Robert (Manager), I asked him and since he had seen the problems I was having, he nearly insisted that I stay for the appointments. So I have been in town for the last few days, relaxing, hanging out with some friends of mine that I don't see very often, and generally having a good time. So there is the update on the chronicle of D. I'll try to blog a bit more often, but some times it just doesn't work out up there. Bye Everybody, I hope to see you if you stop up some time.

So, besides the fact that you have to come in and see him some more, Chop, did the good doc tell you what was really wrong with your back? Slipped disc, herniated disk, broken spine, keg lifter syndrome, too much dancin', not enough dancin' or wha...???

Did they take x-rays? Did you get a massage from Olga, what magazines are you reading, what's the meaning of life come on, dude,spill the beans!

Well, I am not quite sure of the meaning of life question, so I'll skip over that one.

As far as my back is concerned, it's just an overworked muscle that was pulled. Every muscle has a reflex point, like if you hit your knee right below the knee cap (do it it's fun) your leg will jerk. That is a reflex point for the muscle on your femur. Like I said, every muscle has one of these reflex points, and by doing certain motions or movements(tee hee, movement) you will set off a reflex action. I was sweeping the deck of the snack shop the other day after a rather rambunctious(sp?) weekend, and I stopped for a moment and the pain hit me. So I believe that it was the motion of the sweeping that caused the muscle to respond and thereby pulling it.

I did have two x-rays taken, one from the side and one from the front. They didn't say much except that I put most of my weight on one foot, which I already knew. Now I did get a massage of sorts, and if the little belt sander-like thing he has that he uses on your back (fantastic feeling by the way) is named Olga, then yes, I did get a massage from Olga.

There isn't really all that much else to say except I'm feeling a lot better and I need to come in for two more appointements next week, Tuesday and Thursday.

So now I am off, back up to Da Playzow. Bye fellow bloggicans.

That Chops a nice one, huh? Must take after his ma.

By the way the Pi vs Phi Post has dropped off the bottom of my page. Is that reue of everyone?
Polyman and I have added some stuff. But I have to go to the June archive to work in it, and presumably, so does everyone else? See why I still like real book pages?

I can set the blog to not do that. it is set to archive after 7 days. if you want it to go longer it can.

I think it was Olga at the Playzow who threw his back – and other things – out in the first place, Polyman. Maybe even Olga and Leena.

Remember that joke, Poly?

Olga says, "Leena, do you an' Ole haff mutual climax?" Leena says, "No vee yust got State Farm."

One thing for sure, this will gove a whole new meaning to the phrase, "Hey, Chop's back!"

Oh come on pops, Gove me a break!

Sorry, couldn't resist, there hasn't been nearly enough stackage for misspellings around here lately

Chop...are you goving me a hard tine?

Back porblem or no back porblem, you're never two old for a tripe to that teerible plave, behind that spave out behind the woodshod.

So be creaful now or I'll gove you more than a brake, (or sholud I say "crack?")

As an attorney who has taken an oath to uphold the laws of this great nation, I'd kindly ask you not to drink the crazy crack juice in my presence, Chop and Owl.

Dfferent "crack" skoggle. You don't want to know about it, I bet, but if you can't resist, check the archives around, oh say, April 1st or so. You might as well learn a little history about the company you've been keeping lately.

p.s. Skoggle. If you already knew this history and were referring to "crack juice" in context of same, shame on you. (Geez, I'm grossing myself out just thinking about it! Skleeeeeeeve, help me!)
