3 Outbursts:

  1. I read the biography of Chris Burke--the actor with Down Syndrome who played Corky in Life Goes On. The same thing happened to him--some kids were teasing him when he was little and held a handful of pine needles in front of his nose, told him to close his eyes and inhale. He also had it surgically removed.

    Seeds thrive on "Toxic Gases"???? Doesn't sound like they're too toxic too me...and what do they treat Lung Cancer with anyways Mr. "I call myself a Hospitalist cause I'm ashamed to be an Internist"???? TOXIC CHEMICALS!!!! Real ones, like Nitrogen Mustard, and RADIATION!!!! the kind that'll make you glow in the dark if you're not careful... I don't usually wish diseases on people...but you're seriously tempting the Karma Gods... excuse me, gotta take a Smoke Break..
