Ah, you watched it too?

I like the part when they showed the shirt with Castro's face on it that said, "I Have an Artificial Anus."

That, is priceless.

i saw that,,,and want one of those t-shirts, lol

It can be funny, yeah. I don't want to be Debbie Downer, but as someone looking down the barrel of running out of guts someday I don't find it all that funny. I know it seems like taking things too seriously, but the whole thing seemed a bit snide, as if it was odd that anyone would want an "artificial anus".

My doctor's office walls are pretty thin. One day I heard a woman told she was going to lose almost all of her large intestine and her rectum. Then I got to sit and listen to her cry for a few minutes. I couldn't help but thinking about that last night during the daily show.

Castro is a nasty guy, and I don't feel sorry for him a bit, don't get me wrong. I just don't know if this is the fact I'd pick to ridicule him. The idea of walking around with a sack on my hip is so terrible to me that I don't even like to think about it, even though it is a possible outcome of my disease. I hope this doesn't become some sort of cultural punchline, for the sake of all the people who deal with it who aren't evil.

Just to tone down how much of a butthead I was, here's a funny I saw earlier:

"Castro was buried in a shoe box today. After removing the Anus, all that was left was a hat, a pair of sunglasses and the butt to a Cuban cigar."

"Castro was buried in a shoe box today. After removing the Anus, all that was left was a hat, a pair of sunglasses and the butt to a Cuban cigar."

  

But no butt. He gave them up about 15 years ago.

But no butt.

Darn straight. Apparently he had his removed.

I hope this doesn't become some sort of cultural punchline, for the sake of all the people who deal with it who aren't evil.

And I feel horrible for them. Not that it's not still funny. Humor is based around pain, this is something I have firmly believed for some time. Probably a defense mechanism for dealing with it. Meh. I had a friend at my last duty station that had lost half a nut to shrapnel. I felt bad for him, but we all (him included) laughed about it and called him One Nut.

Of course, with Castro, it's funnier because of the implication of divine justice. Like if Che Guevara had suddenly sprouted D cups. (not that he didn't have some great ideas, but both those assholes sold out to the Communists and betrayed their peoples in order to achieve the revolution. Plus Che got his ass killed because great fighter or not, he didn't know shit about politics.)

Having spoke thusly, Spc. NBS retires to his couch and waits to be stricken with an ironic, but hilarious form of cancer.

I had you figured for a terminal brain tumor years ago.
