Ahhhh, the ole John Simmons. Wondered what became of ya. Looks like you been
a lurkin here like myself.
Nice worm. Wonder if you will get any bites?
Hows that hand doing? I pulled a John Simmons on my right index finger about
a month ago. First time I ever amputated a part of my body. I hope it will
be my last.
That was my first mistake. My second was going to the emergency room and
sitting by all those sick people for 4 hours while bleeding all my ***
out. Must have lost at least a pint. Ended up catching a cold from he$$ that
led into pneumonia. Almost done the ole grub in. I'm still coughing up some
chunks that looks like green slime. The taste isn't all that bad though.
Kinda salty. I shouldn't be swallowing it though because it gives me the
monkey ***("the runs").
Well time to soak the stub in some hyd-peroxide and down some more
pain-killers. I got to watch that stuff. Makes me see some weird stuff.
