Congratulations!

Congratulations to my pal Blee on his succesful vasectomy.
His doctor advised him to keep a package of frozen peas in his shorts until the swelling goes down.
(Make your own jokes here)
He told me all about the procedure- he was awake for it. It doesn't sound that bad except for the swelling afterwards, but I'll spare the details.
Good job, Blee! That took balls.

Three Cheers ! We have a winner in the Gub! Contest.
The winner will soon be notified via electronic means.
Actually, I've changed my mind.
Leave a comment and ask about it. I'll let you know if you won.

This should give me a little more 'stalling time' while I finish the prize.
Thanks to all...three...of our entrants for taking the time to participate - a stern admonishment to 'Abby' for thinking she could simply call me and request to be the winner without so much as venturing a Gub guess.
Hmph.
Such gall.
Would that the world were so easy, 'Abby'!

Anyway, Gub! is from the Gregory comic by Mark Hempel
It used to have a different meaning, but these days it's a good word.

A Special Huzzah for Sir Alexander Fleming for doing the best mouldy canteloupe research ever ; setting in motion the events that would eventually lead to my current supply of Cephlax, which I hope will soon clear my sinus infection.

You'd think that Sir Alexander would have named his discovery flemicillin but he didn't.
What was he thinking of?
