This particular friend and I once spent a paralytic (with laughter) evening collecting all the colorful collateral terms for "vomit". There were some doozies. Personal favorites: blow chunks. Rainbow yawn. Solid speech. Take the big spit. Pray to the porcelain god. Soooo... I conclude that this friend has a lively interest in the frontiers of our language. What got this topic started was the delightful German phrase denoting a homosexual preference: "vom anderen Ufer", poorly transliterated: "from the other shore/side of the river". Polite yet evocative.

Gravidity Update Well, what's to say? today was the due date. So far, nothing. Spouse is a little unhappy about the relative sizes of the young'un (by now over 10 pounds I'm shurr) and the birth canal. Psychologically, I'm in a weird place. I'm as ready as I'll ever be to watch it all end - and begin. It could be starting Right Now (is taht the phone...?) or we could be looking at silent thunder for a coupla weeks. Healthwise everything looks okay. Nonetheless Spouse is more or less out of patience; she's quite uncomfy and that's costing her some sleep. This is like being at the airport on standby, and it could be days before a seat opens up...
