I liked the nice bit of censorship of the "killing" parts during Animal's solo...veddy nice. Also, hilarious. I can't stop watching it!

Was this on the Muppet Show in the 70s/80s?

@BytheSea: I don't think they had video conferences in the 70s/80's...or that good production values...

Beeker's Ode to Joy was freaking fantastic! I love that all of the versions of him get so agitated at the end!

Since today is the anniversary of Freddie Mercury's death, this is fantastic timing. We actually had a (nearly) spontaneous session of singing this today at my university in his memory/to have an excuse to talk about AIDS awareness.

This might be my favorite post ever! But I'm sad to hear that Gonzo's ear for pitch isn't what it used to be. Oh well.

Do not insert, indeed! It looks like the scrubby thing under my sink that I never use.

Oh. My. God.

So, in a moment of TMI, my mom has been having a LOT of uterine issues of late that have resulted in emergency blood transfusions, a number of invasive procedures, medications, IUDs… none of which have worked 100% in helping abate her problem. She may have to get a hysterectomy (she’s fine with that). When that day comes (or whenever this dreadful problem is taken care of) I am SO GETTING HER THIS. I have absolutely no doubt she will hang it in her office upstairs.

@LaComtesse: My mom had that done after she had me, apparently I just tore my way out. That, or she thought I was so ugly that she wanted to close up shop. Anyway, she said it wasn't that bad and even went shopping the next day. But, I've known some people that are out of commission for a few weeks.

@CurtCole: Also, that's about the extend of my knowledge of that general area, so no more comments from me on the subject, unless it's about decorating it.

@CurtCole: I've always thought my uterus could use a throw rug from Pottery Barn and some well-placed lamps, so I may call you in for that.

@LaComtesse: My mom had a hysterectomy during menopause because she had so many problems. She said it was the best thing she ever did.

@LaComtesse: The surgery itself isn't too big a deal, and the pain is minimal. I was bone tired for about a month, but I had lost a lot of blood previous to my hysterectomy so I was fighting anemia too.
My BFF, who is the single most awesome woman in the world, suggested we make dolls out of all my unused tampons after the surgery, so we did. We were going to sell 'em on Etsy, but we chickened out. I put the entire Sharpie + sequin embellished set in a shadowbox in my bedroom.

@sammyg70: :-) Thanks. My mom is ready to go for it herself. She's young--quite possibly not near menopause, but she's SO done.

@Chamalla, now gainfully employed: Oh that's awesome! An interesting find for future archaeologists...

@sammyg70: My mom had her bits out about ten years ago, in her late 40s. She had already been menopausal for over a decade (premature menopause) so it shouldn't have been a huge deal. Unfortunately she had complications caused by doctor error. But one of my best friends had a hysterectomy at 27, and was doing really well just a few days afterward.

When I retire from my career as the CEO of Menstruation, I expect one hell of a banquet. My VP of PMS will make a speech that starts off nice, gets a bit edgy three quarters of the way through, but then ends on a good note. I'll get teary when I say goodbye to the Mydol Department, thinking about all the times they pulled me through some awful all-nighters. The Manager of Cramps will not be there- that invite must have gotten lost in the mail...

This is my dream. Take that, glass ceiling.

Oh ACK! If someone gave me that I would smash it over their head. Don't tell me a woman came up with that.
