So, Sassy just got back from a wee little family vacation with Ma and Pa Sass. They went to Pennsylvania and stayed in a bed and breakfast and learned a lot of things about George Washington crossing the Delaware.
As he was carrying his bags in, he said "Meg, my parents sent me home with your Christmas present and they said to put it under the all seasons tree in December. God knows I cannot be trusted to keep a secret that long, so I'll let it be your choice. Do you want it now, or later?"
"NOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOW!"
"Good! I'll get it."
First he gave me some "health chocolates" from ye oulde tourifte classe sweet shoppe in Pennsylvania (Buck's County, apparently). They ruled. I ate them all so as to ensure Extra Health.
Then, he gave me a black bag containing the gift from his parents. I've known Mr and Mrs Sass for a long time now, and I really adore them. They've always been so sweet to me, and they provided me with a very exciting roommate and friend in Sassy. They are thoughtful too, as is evidenced by what was in the bag:
I didn't mean for it to be so overexposed that it glowed like this, but I kind of like the effect. It's like angels from heaven on high are smiling beatifically on my brand new anatomy book.
Immediately, Sassy and I started flipping through it so we could find super detailed pictures of naughty bits. We didn't make it past the first few pages, though, because all of a sudden THIS WAS STARING AT US:
Do you guys see it? That funny face with the tongue sticking out, the big nose, and the angry eyes? And do you see how the face is so so clearly going "BLARRHGHGHGHG!?" Here, look again. Really take it in, okay?
I also think that those things in the corner kind of look like trapped babies or ghosts or something.
In any case, I am not sure how much I'll be able to learn from this book. I mean, it's a great book. But so far, all I've done in it is flip to the page with the face, laugh, and then take it to Sassy so that we can make the sound that face is inarguably making.
I don't think I'm going to do very well in medical school.Labels: friends, on the homefront, silly, the all seasons tree |

That's a scary picture. I think it made me gayer.
-
Why is its tongue screaming?
-
JB- It made Sassy gayer too.
Jamelah- hot sauce? allergic reaction?
-
That "tongue" is some vacuum cleaner-like device that the creature uses to suction up those babies and keep them in place.
And I studied business. Come on.
-
I also think that the creature is named "Renthor."
-
KHANNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
THAT rocks.
Not as much as my duplicate uterus with 2 vaginas and matching cervixes...but THAT has made my day.
It's now my screensaver.
-
and the little trapped ghost babies are making that high pitched screaming whine noise from the background of horror movies. with, like, circus music playing in the background.
this has totally been haunting me.
-
Pdw- business? really? huh.
Maxine- that made me laugh. and good subtitle.
k- oh, it has? so. wait. is it, like, bad, that i had it blown up to be bedsheet size, and then put it on your ceiling? Speak now, or forever hold your peace.
-
Okay, that is about 80 different kinds of scarifying.
Also, a little bit funny.
But mostly scarifying.
-
Baby ghosts?? more like big, happy, laughing kidney beans, if you ask me.
-
Caramello- you have two vaginas? lucky. that means you can have like 4 orgasms at a time.
Fraulein- I KNOW. I love to look at it, but never by myself and always with lots of lights on.
Arjuna- I guess I see that. But maybe not laughing kidney beans. I kind of think they're singing the blues. One is definitely scatting.
-
I got so excited when I read this, because I'm from Bucks County, PA and the fact that I know the place where you got your chocolates from makes me ridiculously happy. I hope Sassy had a lovely time! And you'll be fine in med school, so long as you can muffle your giggles.
-
Well, at least I know what I'm dressing up as for Halloween now...
And kudos on your usage of "beatifically." That word just doesn't get used nearly as much as it should. Good to know you're bring it back.
-
I think that's the entirety of the monster, that it's a blob shaped thing, and I can imagine it hurtling across the floor at you like it's on motorised wheels. Well I know what I'll be having nightmares about tonight...my own internal organs coming for me on wheels.
-
Meg, that book is the Anatomy BIBLE!!!! I love it. I still cart it around wherever I go. Good 'ol Frank Netter. My soft-cover-copy-free-with-AMA-student-membership has completely fallen apart from use. This hard cover edition is SUPER SWEET! The Sassies are AWESOME!
I never saw that face before; thank goodness you're going to be a med student and put some laughter into the Anatomy days.
Also, the pouch of Douglas is in that picture. My friend Dougie likes his pouch I tell ya.
I'm sad I wasn't in Pennsylvania when Sassy and fam were there =( But I am happy they gave you such a pertinent book.
-
most people would say:
"I don't think I would do very well in medical school."
you however said:
"I don't think I'm going to do very well in medical school."
yay!!! i totally don't know you personally, but through your blog i feel kinda like i do, and i'm soooo excited and proud of you for making this decision. you're going to be the best doctor.
and p.s., i hope you become a pediatrician.
-
two things. because i'm dominating the comments today.
1) bedsheet size? that shit's expensive. i'll learn to live with the screaming ghost babies.
2) tourifte classe. i was going to let it pass, but... holy fucking god, fantastic.
-
Losing it- Sass had SUCH a good time. He and his family loved it. And those chocolates were damn good.
Star- I will mail you a copy of this picture for your costume storyboard, if it will help.
Dawg- It's so, so nice. I really enjoy it. They're good to me, Ma and Pa sass. there are more faces, too. Like there is one of a guy going "OOHHHHHHHHH!" like those offensive cartoons of asian people. I'm funna call you today. I miss you.
Brazilian- You are a good gumshoe! I can't believe you picked up on that, since I didn't even realize I'd said it like that. I will talk more about my plans later, but peds factors into them. Thank you so much for being so kind and awesome. It really means a lot.
K- 1) thought so.
2) I was hoping you'd notice.
-
I still don't know what part of the body this is.
This is why I stick to marketing stuff and numbers and what-not.
-
Med school? Really?! That is so cool!
-
I'm with Brazilian, I read that and then immediately scrolled down to see if I had missed an entry with a completely awesome and fantastic announcement. Congrats.
Also, I'm looking forward to that announcement.
