What happened on Thursday was essentially the same thing that happened to me four years ago, except a bit lower in my system. Besides my appendix, there were apparently a worrisome number of inflamed or thickened inner thingies in me. The main culptrit is my close and personal friend Advil.
For the time being, I'm also cutting down on booze, coffee, cigarettes, spicy food, and... well, everything I like, really. I'll be cut down for a while, then I'll probably forget all the warnings and do what I please until I'm stricken with searing, unending pain in another four years or so :)
This is the first image Google gave me when I searched "late breaking news":
Yarr, I'll sail the mighty seas in my stencil ship!
