Not really, but I do have a new post up today at Canadica. I’m hoping this is the correct link. If that didn’t work, just click on Canadica and it will take you there.
Just so you know and won’t succumb to any weeping, it will take me some time to respond to any comments because:
- I just moved
- My Internet connection has not been hooked up yet
- My tonsils are being removed today by salad tongs
- I may possibly dribble popsicle juice onto my laptop
The good news, I will have plenty of time to catch up on my blog reading (when my #@&!&^$ Internet is hooked up and if I’m not vomiting blood). I have been remiss in reading all of your wonderful posts and wittily replying with comments like “turd nugget.” I know you have missed that.
I also recall promising a reader giveaway thingy, and telling a few of you that I would be sending interview questions. Didn’t happen because moving is a giant suckfest of suckitude suckness. It will happen.
Here are the people who responded with a reason why Hugo should interview them and will see their name in lights in 2013. If I missed you or you don’t want this great distinction of Hugo adding your picture to his “People-to-lurk-at” wall, please let me know.

Praying hat all goes well for you today!
It went pretty well. The surgeon classifed my tonsils as “gross” so I’m glad they’re gone.
I think I love your surgeon. How are you feeling? I hear that once recovery is done, life is much, much better than before surgery.
So glad it went well! Hopefully you get to eat tons of ice cream??
Speaker7,
My peen interviewed by Hugo will be the greatest interview since the ego-fuck ride that was Joaquin Phoenix’s I’m Still Here, while nothing will be staged on my [long] end.
Le Clown,
I only wish someone would make a documentary of this soon-to-be iconic peen interview.
Speaker7
Hope it goes seamlessly today…like I hope you don’t have a big Frankenstein seam across your neck or anything. Do they still go through your jugular to get to your tonsils? Or maybe that was just what Carol and Cindy Brady had done.
Seriously, will be thinking of you!
I insisted that my husband call me every 3 minutes even though he told me not to talk–just like Mike Brady lovingly did. Interesting factoid, but they encourage you to talk immediately after surgery. Keeps down the swelling. Oh–and no cool Frankenstein scar, just tongue sores from when my tongue was likely yanked on.
Could my comment be any more insensitive? I make Hugo seem like Erma Bombeck. My apologies!
Still, a big Frankenstein scar would look pretty bitchin’, you gotta admit. (I don’t think you’ll have a big Frankenstein scar. Just sayin’ it would be cool.)
Right on. Bitchin. What she said.
Angie,
As my BBFF, you are required to make comments like that. I expect no less.
Love,
SpeakerFrankenstein
I hope you don’t get the same doctor I did. Came out with no tonsils, no testicles and sore in every orifice!
Which was brilliant, but the bastard didn’t give me a lollipop!
Recuperate with ice-cream
I also came out with no testicles. Strange.
Considering that you’ve endured all of 50 Shades of Grey and watching that new John Travolta / Olivia Newton-John music video, it seems to me that you have a well developed tolerance for pain and discomfort. In comparison to those cultural lows, your tonsillectomy might prove to be pleasurable. Seriously, I hope it goes well.
The only way my surgery could have been even better is if John Travolta sang a little song about it. And I got to rub his felt-haired head. Keep in mind that I’m on heavy narcotics at the moment so I might not be making sense.
Speedy recovery, Speaker7!
I don’t want to jinx myself, but so far so good. I am very much in love with Popsicles at the moment.
Wishing you the best today Speaker 7!
Thank you. It went better than expected. The surgeon and staff were wonderful. I’m so glad I switched doctors.
I know things will go well today, just as I know you can endure the pain–remember how well LaMaze worked? I can’t believe I didn’t submit my name for Hugo to interview me!! More than likely it’s for two reasons–1)I’d be aflutter with nervousness since I have such a crush and 2)I’m so effing dull.
I felt more pain reading Fifty Shades Freed. I believe that caused permanent brain scarring.
Bless your poor heart.
I am into that big moving suck fest right now. I have 3 more days to finish packing. Can’t see that happening. All I care about is not losing the internet.
All the best today with the untonsiling.
We’re moved in. We are not unpacked. Now comes the praying that the closing on the house we sold actually happens on Thursday.
Good luck with your surgery, Speaker!! Remember nothing says “Merry Christmas, Jules” like your tonsils in a jar.
I don’t know where my tonsils are. When I came to, some nurse said they were sent to a lab, but she looked all shifty while saying it. I imagine Hugo is involved.
Ok, I can’t believe I missed getting put on an interview list or maybe I saw it and meant to respond but was in hurry. Whatever. If there is still room and you can squeeze me in without squeezing me, then that would be cool. In the meantime, good luck with the tonsil removal. I was promised lots of ice cream before I got mine out, but all I got was a bowl of shaved ice. But I was seven and that was a long time ago. I’m sure the whole hospital experience is much more customer friendly now. As for the popsicles, make your own alcoholic ones. It will be so worth it.
Good luck with everything!
I find that I’m not really in the mood for ice cream. I’m actually craving things like pot roast, I am so unbelievably hungry. I can’t imagine that would be pleasant going down however. I will def put you on the Hugo interview list.
Wishing you a quick recovery and lots of ice cream!
Thanks! What I’m really in the mood for is a hamburger and French fries, but I doubt that would taste good puréed.
Nobody curses quite like you…
All the best!
Surprisingly this has not affected my ability to talk so I’ve been able to swear up a storm.
At least you’ll finally be rid of those blasted things. Hey, I know what else you could use as a giveaway! Your infected tonsils! What’s scary is I’m pretty sure someone out there would take them. Oh, and get a bell and constantly ring it for attention. Your family will thank you. Hope it goes well and you’re better soon. You don’t want to leave Hugo unsupervised for long.
My tonsils went AWOL. I don’t know if I’ll ever see them again, which might be a good thing since my surgeon told my mother they contained fungal growth. Yum.
On a less sickening note, Goofy has been found in one of the plastic bins, and is doing well.
Wow…you are that busy and still find the time to come up with posts that are this funny? I`d be AOL for a week…at least. Glad to hear Hugo`s gonna lurk at me. I lost one of my last lurkers so there`s an empty spot that needs fillin’.
I’m finding it hard to write now due to the medication, but I’m planning to catch up on some long overdue blog reading.
Will you be giving away your tonsils to a lucky reader? I’m not sure which the greater treasure would be: your tonsils or an interview with Hugo.
What about being interviewed by both Hugo and my extracted tonsils?
That would be glorious!
An interview with Hugo?? A dream come true. *Sigh*. Feel better soon.
Thanks! The painkillers help.
I’ll be vomiting blood for Christmas….
you can count on me….
HAHAHAHA. Not me. YOU.
AT least you got through Hanukkah with all your parts. Mazel tov!
So far, there has not been blood, but we’re only 2 days in so anything is possible. Hugo has requested it.
Hope you get to feeling better really really soon! ummm question? Can I change my mind about being interviewed by Hugo???? Well, I’ve never been interviewed before, and well, I’m curious, and well , darn it, I can change my mind right? sorry,,…..get better!
My advice would be to read the first couple of interviews in 2013, and then decide if you want to change your mind.
no problem
Be your tonsils be gone and your internet connection be restored in the greatest holiday miracle since jingle balls.
That is a sentiment I want to engrave onto a jingle ball to put on the tree.
Wishing you a speedy day and easy recovery with your tonsils. I hope it is much easier than getting internet connections to work.
Yes, our Internet connection has been pretty fickle. I’m surprised I’m able to get online now.
Glad you made it and are connected.
Wishing you a quick and comfortable recovery.
Thanks Carrie. So far it has been the usual symptoms, which is the best you can hope for.
Hoping everything goes smoothly and that your recovery is swift. Take care…
Thanks Sandee. I am stocked up on all varieties of Popsicles. Tomorrow I might even try some heavily whipped potatoes, such is the excitement of my life.
Oh boy! Hope you recover quickly and get to eat lots of ice cream during your recovery!
Can’t wait for my name in lights!
It’s odd, but I have more of a craving for savory rather than sweet. Maybe my tonsils were big salt repositories?
Not odd at all. That’s how I used to be 100%.
You might be on to something…
Despite our good wishes, you’ll likely not have too much fun recovering or in stage 2 of moving (the unpacking – also known as “where the fuck did we put the salad spinner?”). On the bright side, you’ll have tons to write about if the new Bachelor doesn’t measure up to your lofty standards of banality.
In all seriousness, get well…we’ll wait.
I did find the salad spinner! Of course I won’t be able to eat any salad for a couple of months. I didn’t realize a new Bachelor was on th scene. We just got our cable hooked up so I’ve been out of the loop.
I wish I had the desire to have kids. I would surely name it Hugo Speaker7 Tonic.
Good luck with those tonsils!
That is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. If only I had my tonsils, I would give them to you to raise as your own.
I don’t want Hugo to interview me. He has burrowed into my head with his utter lack of facial hair and piercing, ogling, deep-like-the-recesses-of-Hell, blue eyes. When I have to get up in the night I am afraid he is waiting behind my door and will jump out and eat my nose. I am scarred and scared. He can’t plumb the inner sanctity of my head… it will be entirely too much.
On another note, I hope you kept your tonsils to auction them on eBay for some charity. They may fetch a lot of money… Maybe Hugo can make them into a necklace and you an auction that.
Get better, Speaker.
As far as I know, Hugo has no means of travel so you are quite safe. Unfortunately, my tonsils are no longer in my possession, which may be a good thing since my doctor described them as “gross.”
Phew, on all accounts.
Get those things out and eat some ice cream. Be careful – when I had mine out the nuns stole my GI Joe, so make sure you hide yours well.
I am reading this long after my surgery, but luckily I did not bring a GI Joe doll with me.
It was probably wise to leave him safely at home.
And how did the removal of your body part go?
You know, I was nervous about being put under and feeling sick from the anesthesia, but it was all for naught. The nurse said I recovered quickly from the surgery–now it’s the healing process time.
Yay! Did you watch the Brady Bunch episode where Carol and Cindy get theirs removed? It might help – hee hee…
Oh, wow, Speaker7, I hope you get to feeling better soon! At least those darn tonsils are out, though, so hooray for that. Suck down lots of popsicles and ice cream, and take your time with getting back to work on the blog.
I am so glad those gross giant infected things are gone. My neck has already shrunk in size.
I thought you ditched the guy who was planning on removing them with salad tongs in favor of a real live surgeon? Hope all goes well.
P.S. If there’s unprotected WiFi nearby you can always tweet from your phone before you get internet nearby… Just sayin.
I did go with the real surgeon, thanks be to ice chips. He did an incredible job. I was expecting to feel really horrible upon coming out of surgery, and it wasn’t that bad. The recovery is what sucks, but it’s temporary.
Fuckin’ Right! I thought you died!
