In other ogged-related news, yesterday I was sitting on the train next to a very persian-looking dude, and my thought process went persian-->ogged-->"wait, ogged is in chicago right now, that could totally be him."
I'd like to hear from ogged's stomach. How does it feel about the excellent news.
Also, I await the day when one of 'Smasher's friends has a dangerous accident with a hook, gets better, and 'smasher yells his celebratory "Woo! Hook'em!"
Thou unravish'd urger of appetite,
Thou ruminant yet Churning with hot Chyme,
Blog-inspiring organ, who this fortnight,
Held us hostage and worried all this time.
What cells diffuse can hold us in their thrall?
In the Daleys' Chicago wondered we.
What men or docs are these, bringing us woe?
A second opinion comes, thundered he.
'Ogged's stomach has been reprieved: that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.'
I confess that I was a bit confused b/c the multi-disciplinary committee bit was so clever as to almost seem like satire, and I was worried for a second that perhaps we were jumping to conclusions, but no, all is well, so Congratulations! good news ogged.
It's very hard to type out the verbal equivalent of sitting here grinning like a fool. But that's what I'm doing.

Excellent news, yes. Does the multidisciplinary committee include linguists and mathematicians? Historians and Women's Studies-ists?

I think Ogged should now join the competitive eating circuit. Got to appreciate what you have.
Posted by SP | Link to this comment | 06-13-06 2:44 PM
competitive eating != appreciating your gut.

I'm actually wondering if maybe O hasn't developed an ulcer from worrying about this. If so, can he sue the doctors?

Posted by bitchphd | Link to this comment | 06-13-06 4:12 PM
TittiesStomachs! Hooray!(and eb, shhhh! Don't ruin the solemnity and magic of this moment by telling me I'm pwnd by 2.)
Also: glad you're okay ogged, and hope your mom is too! You are still losing a kidney though, right? Best of luck and health with that.
Posted by M/tch M/lls | Link to this comment | 06-13-06 4:15 PM
You are still losing a kidney though, right?
Because if you're not sick at all, we're all coming out to Chicago to kick your ass for scaring us like this.
Posted by LizardBreath | Link to this comment | 06-13-06 4:16 PM
Isn't it odd to be all, "yay, it's only kidney cancer!!"
Posted by bitchphd | Link to this comment | 06-13-06 4:17 PM
This is where the doctors were lying all along in an elaborate ruse to force you to reevaluate and appreciate your life. Go celebrate.
Posted by Michael | Link to this comment | 06-13-06 4:17 PM
to reevaluate and appreciate your life
...and realize that your true love was right before your eyes all along, isn't that how the script goes?

Congratulations, Ogged -- and now that you're cured, I can say the following in response to Silvana's comments:
I saw a Persian guy the other day, too, walking around in a store, but I knew it couldn't be Ogged because he was with a woman.
Posted by Adam Kotsko | Link to this comment | 06-13-06 4:34 PM
And also because I do actually know what Ogged looks like, but that kind of ruins the joke.

Also, I think the stomach should now suck it the hell up and whomp the tar out of that kidney until the kidney straightens up and flies right.
