b3ta seems to be invading your government!
That's the only way I can explain this:

"A senior British lawmaker confessed to making up the condition known as "cello scrotum" -- which relates to chafing from the instrument -- after reading about another musically-related ailment called "guitarist's nipple" in the British Medical Journal in 1974."

Nipples and scrotums on CNN. My day has been brightened.

Scrottage in government
I voted for a useless scrotum in 1997.

Generally we need more nipples and scrotums on the news.
There's just not enought nipple and scrotum incidents in the world for the news channels to cover.


It's sad but true.

You want to see some useless scrottage in action? Check this out. It's an interview with Rod Blagojevich.

The people of Illinois got some 'splainin' to do...

Ooh irony
Loon, can you 'splain the phrase "you got some splaining to do!" as I've heard it before on several American sitcoms and never got the reference.

It's not like I lie awake at night thinking about it though.....ahem

'Why you got three nipples? You got some splaining to do!'

'Splainin'
is from "I Love Lucy". Lucille Ball would get herself into some bizarre situation, all hell would break loose, and at the end her husband Ricky Ricardo would come in, see the wreckage and say, in a sort of singsong voice, "Looooocy! You got some 'splainin' to do!" and stand with his arms folded.

Really, I hated that show, especially his patronizing attitude toward his wife at the end of each episode. But it did provide us with a very memorable catch phrase.

There must be a condition called "Guitarist's bollock"
According to Pooflake, I keep dropping them all the time!





Aithengew.
