unfortunately for tony pierce (who just celebrated his 113th birthday, happy belated burfday you big stud), i am officially switching from buzznet to flickr. however, i only use it to showcase sets of photos, and that's once in a blue moon anyways.
last night my friends anda i celebrated lexi's birthday at bravo bravo, and the poor girl had been hit by a sledgehammer handle in the stomach that day, by some random construction worker she walked by on the street. riiiight in the lower belly area. it's a good thing she didn't have a baby to miscarry, because that would've been sad. we decided that "i was hit in the stomach with a sledgehammer by a construction worker" is a perfect euphemism for period cramps, which then complements our dodging the steakhouse euphemism for menstruation (previously mentioned here). yet upon further discussion i pointed out that, if one was indeed suffering from horrible uterus spasms, eloquence would probably not be the preferred conversational style. instead, one would probably scream out "SLEDGEHAMMER! SLEDGEHAMMMMMMER!!!" to get the point across.
