Winners! Also, other things.

So! The contest thing. I've tabulated a list of folk who made correct guesses and rolled the magic die. Contrarywise: watch your mail this month.

I've also pulled a second copy of Well Versed to reward folks for making creative guesses and/or just making things up. Magic die roll #2 gives this copy to Bearfaerie, who should send me a private message with info on where I should send this. (Incidentally, I am particularly fond of the "Mr. Cactus" brand cactus-flavored candy and have decided that Ginger Bill carries them around in his pockets on adventures.)

For the record, some things visible in the photo that nobody caught:

- Voltron
- A Ghostbusters logo
- A red beret

Pocketmouse also gets a special prize in the form of a tiny fistshake for spotting the bookcase and the wall. Deviant.

Today featured a trip to the doctor, among other things. While I was there, one of the nurses set upon me with a syringe and gave me my annual flu shot, granting me UNNATURAL IMMUNITY to influenza. Well, at least until some kind of industrial-strength death virus descends from the stars in January.

That same nurse gave me a bottle of apple juice, which became the source of much hilarity and many jokes about urine samples.

Also, my doctor is fascinated by my tonsils. They're apparently enormous. I have no idea how to feel about that. I'm guessing it might make me more attractive to tonsil enthusiasts? In any case, this is another random, benign mutation to add to the list of Things I Got Instead of Super Powers.

Oh, and I got a My Little Pony sticker on the way out. I've stuck it onto my netbook because when a man sits down to a computer with a pony sticker on it, you know he means serious business.

(I am a little confused, though, about which pony I'm displaying. It looks like a wingless, somewhat more demure and curly Rainbow Dash. Suggestions?)

ETA: here's a scan of the sticker. Yes, I just stuck my entire netbook in a scanner.

I could post more, but really I'm just kind of having cognitive dissonance about being at my desk at nearly midnight on a Wednesday. It just seems wrong.

G'night, all.

You're not the only one with Enormous Tonsils (of doom?). I have them, my daughter does, and my mother does. When I have to go to a new-to-me doctor, I always have to tell them up front that I've Extra Large Tonsils or they panic and assume I have an infection. *heh*

Aaaand, you've also pegged one of the reasons I really don't like apple juice. *shiver*

The apple juice was actually kind of hilarious because when the nurse came back I was like, "Hey, about this sample. I'm really concerned about this patient's pancreas..."

Clearly I am not well-suited to the adult world.

I do wonder a little if the Giant Tonsils are causing me trouble. I snore, and while I've never been told I also have apnea issues (I don't wake up in the night or anything), it could be a thing.

But yeah! Giant tonsil powers activate!

Your sticker is of a G3.5 Rainbow Dash. The latest generation of My Little Ponies is the G4 in which the ponies are modeled to look like those in Lauren Faust's reboot of the animation end of the product line. The G4's are quite a bit less swollen in the head and legs and have non-trivial personalities and backstories.

Edited to add: and of course you knew that or you wouldn't have noted the lack of wings and attitude. 9_9

Only sort of! My MLP expertise is both limited and shallow.

Now I know! Thanks. :D

[contrarywise]

Woo-hoo!! \o/

[anke]

In contrast, my doctor asked if I'd had my tonsils removed. (I hadn't.)

[bodlon]

Doh.

Um. I'd offer to share, but I'm not sure that's going to lead anywhere good.
