You should have put a person in there for scale.

If you go non-union and find the right person, he'll put himself in there for free.
I clicked on the comment thread first, having missed the new post, then clicked on the post title.
I really wish I hadn't seen that.
5 -- there's no going back.
Dude, your colon is clean enough to eat off.
Looks like apostropher is the "right person" I was talking about in 4.
apostropher is the "right person"
His rectitude is legend.
8: Much as I'd like to say that it's the work of Ogged's tongue, it's actually the effects of a day of nothing but Gatorade and some nasty colon cleanser.
Labs, you old fart, I've never had a colonoscopy, but people who have say that often the prep is worse than the procedure. True?
You know, scars and tumors are one thing, but this is GOING TOO FAR.
13: So says my dad, who at 67 has had several. The cleansing process is a very unpleasant day of not leaving the vicinity of the toilet (actually, didn't you describe the same thing before surgery), while for the procedure you're doped up and happy as a clam in mud.
After 16, I think we can just pack up and go home. Someone leave a note for Unf.
actually, didn't you describe the same thing before surgery
Indeed. I've done the prep, and it's very and truly unpleasant.
I now must reconsider my vote to have full posts included in comments.
16: I'M IN UR COLON, FLASHING MY N1PPL3!!!
21- truly. I think this post was just FL's way of voting no. Political genius.
16 is the very face of the left today. Can we get some t-shirts?
See I really thought I could trust "a picture from my colonoscopy" to be a joke. Fine time to become earnest, Labs.
You know, for a quick joke pic snapped in a drunken haze, I sure have gotten a lot of mileage out of that picture.
As for the prep, yes, it's unpleasant. Fasting makes you very cold, and then there are powerful laxatives. Once you're sedated, everything's fine, but getting an IV into a dehydrated patient can be difficult.
getting an IV into a dehydrated patient can be difficult
Not just IVs, I've found.
The conjunction of 13 and 28 causes me to read "Farting makes you very cold" and to think, huh -- I've never had that experience -- if anything the opposite.
Katy Couric's already been there, on national TV.
Katie Couric was in Labs' colon before I was? And it was on TV?
32: Yeah, I remember that episode of The Magic Schoolbus.
30: This isn't the Dutch Oven thread.
You know, for a quick joke pic snapped in a drunken haze, I sure have gotten a lot of mileage out of that picture.
Someone remind me to make sure Apo is sober before he gives me a colonoscopy - I don't want pictures of it out on the internet.
Not your best work, M/tch.
Watch it, or I'll misplace yours.
Punk.
You went through that voluntarily? Are you ill, FL?
But actually, 36 was an imperative attempt to get people to talk about a misplaced colon. Sorry for being bossy.
Oh, I republished the original post about this.
I'm currently fighting with Blue Cross, who seem to feel that being knocked out for this sort of thing isn't "medically necessary", and therefore wish not to pay the anęsthesiologist's bill. Evidently, 'had I not been unconscious, I would have rendered grievous bodily harm upon anyone who shoved a camera up my ass' is not intuitively obvious to BC.
Deditrix, you should have gotten in touch -- I am way less expensive than your anæsthesiologist -- I rely simply on buffoonery to put you to sleep so no needles either.
Yes, and I will put things up your ass for a tiny fraction of what your gastroenterologist would charge.
Apo -- we got to open up shop together!
CL: I could have used buffoonery when I saw the bill. $11,021 for the fucking medical centre - that's not including the doctor, the guy with the nice drugs or the lab work. I had my shredded Achilles tendon sewn back up for less than half of that.
Apo: Ha! For that, you have to pay me.
Good lord, you people are wimps. The picture's not even that bad.
I just had to say that that is a beautiful picture. You should have it framed.
Wow. And with nary a squid to be seen.
It is as pink and clean as a tiny baby bunny's twitching nose.
50 - teo, no one is non-plussed by the "badness" of the picture; we are all in awe of the sheer beauty of Lab's colon and intend to nominate it for the American Idol All Star Colon Beauty Contest.
Soon, perhaps, I will post pictures from my recent MRI, which shows skeletal anomalies around my left temporal lobe [resulting, I still say, from the alien tracking device implanted in my brain when I declined to join the CIA in 1967, despite my past life history as a spy for the Tsarina of All Russias, Bridey Murphy].
And now that we know Tamiflu can cause hallucinations, there is finally an explanation of many blog comments, as well as a viable alternative to LSD.
I'm non-plussed! Lovely pink clean colon or no, I did not need to see the inside of Labs' ass.
There were other non-plussed people in the thread, but I admit I was mainly addressing b.
I can't wait to abuse that bad boy.
55: Were you non-plussed by "badness" or by the shock of such unexpected intimacy with FL? [Did Ogged not show us all his scar, fearful tho' he must have been that we would draw back and shield our infants' eyes, lest they grow up to be surgeons and/or serial killers?] Unless PK leapt from your womb fully potty-trained, you've certainly seen far less appetising things than a squeaky-clean colon.
Well, to be nonplussed is simply to be at a loss, not actively freaked out.
59: Also "bewildered, confounded or perplexed"; it's just hard to imagine Dr B's non-plussage. Or even nonplussage. Or being non plus.
By the way, the file name of the photo is hilarious. Well done, FL.
60: That'll teach you to read the titles/opening lines c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y before clicking on "read more".
Didn't Ogged just post his scarification pix without warning? Or did you ask see said cicatrix in person?
Totally unrelated to this topic: The package of par-baked bread that I just took out to bake for dinner includes the instruction: "Place on a rack in the middle of the oven (no need to thaw, but for Pete's sake, take it out of the bag first)". It also advises that one can let the baked bread cool for 15 minutes "or heat it hot, it's your bread now, after all."
Just what I need; frozen products with attitude.
If the post had been included with comments (CHANGEGOOD currently up 5 points!), I wouldn't have had to go through the laborious process of clicking "Back" in order for 63 to make me laugh.
You would have had to scroll all the way up to the top of the page, though.
66: "Home" key! "End" key! Done!
(Counterargument: alt+left arrow, alt+right arrow, done.)
Also 67 does not work if you are reading this thread at some point in the future when it has grown, let's say to 207 comments. Then when you got to 63 you could have homed up to the top but you would have to remember "63" while you did that and then scroll meticulously back down to it after.
68: ctrl+F, type "63" (and, of course, the Mac equivalent). That's not a very high bar. But then, I'm just stirring up trouble, when we should be focusing on, uh, the colonic matter at-hand.
Just memorize the thread as you read it, you lazy fuckers.
Right. Just read the name of the picture file.
I might take a moment here to note that there are aspects of Labs' colon which you can't appreciate simply by viewing. For one thing, it's remarkably strong and reassuring, like a mother's embrace. Yet, it is also nimble and caressing, like the experienced hands of a farm boy. Truly wonderous.
68: 207 comments about Labs colon. That would be impressive.
Just read the name of the picture file.
I right-clicked it to get at the file name and one of the options was "Save as desktop wallpaper."
Uh... no.
Yeah, you want the one with me in the colon for wallpaper. It looks best tiled.
In 72, I wrote of my doubt about reaching 207 comments about Labs's colon. And yet, I can't stop thinking about it. His colon, that is. For some reason, I awoke at 4 o'clock this morning. Labs's colon post was the first thing I thought about. Why? I couldn't fall back asleep for an hour. When I woke up again a couple of hours later, same thing: Labs's colon post came to mind first thing. And what am I doing now? Reading and commenting on Labs's colon post.
Labs' colon is the Zahir.
75 -- I would think if you use Labs' colon as wallpaper, the proper setting would be "stretch", not "tile".
(In Gujarat, at the end of the eighteenth century, Labs' colonwas a tiger; in Java it was a blind man in the Surakarta mosque, stoned by the faithful; in Persia, an astrolabe that Nadir Shah ordered thrown into the sea; in the prisons of Mahdi, in 1892, a small sailor's compass, wrapped in a shred of cloth from a turban, that Rudolf Karl von Slatin touched; in the synagogue in Córdoba, according to Zotenberg, a vein in the marble of one of the twelve hundred pillars; in the ghetto in Tetuįan, the bottom of a mineshaft.)
