What?! Re-absorbtion of testicles!!!? Is this some lurking danger of which I was woefully unawares? Is this remediable through diet? Lots of corn on the cob, bananas? Must I become a Republican and make pussy/war jokes? Will a tight elastic band slow down the process? What happens if my own body rejects them? Though I think that unlikely as there's been no hint of rejection even as regards other people's bodies.

Jesus, this is going to haunt me.

1.You have to work the coffee out as you go along - don't take it in one hit - you will likely be very ill.

I would suggest just keep drinking it as you go along, and assess in an ongoing way.

2. No - you won't go blind, but everything might look red.

Are you sure it is JUST tiredness? Got any munchies, hmmmm.......?????

3. More than you have, my friend!!!

4. I sincerely hope not. But if there is, or isn't, I think you need help.

5. I hope you have! Hugh Jass is a treasure!


1) Yes, but if I do that i might accidently underdose and fall asleep. Sleep is evil

2) Yes, and I can probably steal something more effective from the pharmacy students as well.

3) More money than I have? Hhhhhmmm that could be any thing from four dollars to more than a billion. But I'll be optimistic. Can I assume you'll do it for four dollars, then?

4) The bunny told me you'd say that.

5) Hugh wasn't such a treasure when I had to sit next to him on a crowded bus.

But that said, Thankyou, Auntie Lowan, for your help.

Lol - there is a name for the condition, by the way - which I have forgotten.

It is an hysterical illness that afflicts men in parts of Asia - occasionally in epidemic form - where they believe that the dangly bits are shrinking - and that they are going back into the body - and that this will kill them.

They remain quite resistant to reassuring measurements - as is the way with hysterical illnesses all over the world - and the condition is well known to psychiatry in the areas of affliction.

There is much hubbub.

I think spontaneous recovery is common.

You are welcome Eccles.

I'd be careful about listening to tha Wabbit, though...

Ol' Queen Vicky gave the red jacket to the Canajuns, just before she died. They're a sentimental lot, and much given to nostalgic hyst . . . er, theactricality.

I don't his narbles are retreating, from the looks of the bulge on the side of his pants, they appear to have gone around the corner.

Actually, no, that's not it. The photo was taken after I had completed step one, but not step two, of my hilarious impression of Dumbo.

I think that the hysterical fear that the testicles will resorb is called "Koro". Only chinese men in Malaya and a few places in southern asia get it.


They mentioned that in psych, along with Wendigo and anorexia ( culture - specific mental illnesses)

Yes, Deb, to an earlier question, the wabbits do smoke ciggies in long holders while swathed in angora stoles. Take comfort that these wabbits are not from oz.

Blatham, when the nuts are in the correct position, will you look like Bush in his flight suit? I remember it being called a "moose knuckle." If so.....thud!!

Moose knuckle....that's interesting. I got in a fist fight with a moose once in a Northern BC pub...if it's not an Indian coming at you, it's some drunk goateed herbivore. No place for a classy dame like you, Dianne.

I found canadia delightfully civilised.

But then - we arrived from NTC....

And it was in the French part.
