Here’s another phrase you don’t hear often: Virtual Sinus Surgery Simulator.
This blog is rated PG because I used word “fart” once and said “crack” three times, according to this site.

Stay away from my site, Bunk, I’m R-rated. Six “dead”s, two “pain”s and a single “shit” (I just added that one last night). It seems that “pain” is at least twice as nasty as “bastard”, which apparently wasn’t noticed. Here’s hoping my comment doesn’t dump you into a new category.
Loved the Billy Redden post. He’s an interesting guy. And I’m not surprised to hear Burt Reynolds is a rude man.

Coop– It’s been decades since I saw Deliverance, and I completely forgot about the significance of the scene. So I decided to hunt down the banjo boy. Cool background story.

honor– Tolja!
nursem– For as important as his role was for the plot I’d be interested on how much he got in royalties. Betcha it was a pittance.
