Not so much wank and a possible high pile of coming wank

[misscam]

*pokes CSI fandom* You're being a lot more sane than I expected after the wankimplosion over the summer. Are you all wanked out? I'm almost kind of sad, though I shouldn't be. (There was a brief play with a wee troll yesterday, but journal got baleeted pretty damn fast.)

Now, let me introduce you to Vile!Mouse:

How could Christina have been dying if she's still alive, 19 months later? Isnt't here a time limit?

(It is of course a reference to CharityWank, which was quite the charming affair all around. Course, when I read it, I spent most of my time feeling violent over the US healthcare system, which quite frankly is revolting beyond belief. Why why WHY?)

Suggestions seem to be floated it's heidi8, which is going to lead to much wank whether it be true or not. I haven't the foggiest myself. (Don't know any of the involved, haven't seen any offered proof, have no idea if grudges are at play etc.) But oh man, chances of this getting ugly = higher than a soprano on helium.

Flee! Flee for your wankshelters! Or come hang out in mine. I'm tending the bar and vile!mice will be fed to the cat.

In other news:

Driver charged with reckless driving over reversing

Apparently, he planned to reverse 550 km to Perth, as his gears failed and he for some reason didn't call a mechanic from a nearby town. Um. Okay. Smart thinking there, assuredly. Because backing 550 km would've gone real well.

Ig Nobel winners get their honours - I think Why woodpeckers do not get headaches might be my favourite one.

I vaguely know some of the bad_penny mods, and I believe they are researching who the IP is right now.

I was a bit shocked when that mouse was pointed to me. Just because you are still alive doesn't mean you aren't dying. I mean, my grandfather had cancer for a couple of years before he finally died, and the fact he wasn't yet dead didn't make the cancer any less serious.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yes, I saw that. I guess we'll wait and see what they say, if they make any public comments at all.

Yeah, that was my comment too. I spotted vile!mouse before anyone had replied to yet, and did quite a few brain boggles. Cripes, my grandmother had cancer and the only reason it went fairly fast with her was that her body couldn't take the chemo. Otherwise, she might've lived longer, but it was pretty clear from the start it was going to be fatal sooner or later.

Cancer's fucking nasty.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Waiting sounds like all we can do, now.

I'm trying to remember exactly how long my Pa's cancer went on for. I know there was a year or two, in which it was reasonably under control with chemo and all, and he seemed reasonably healthy. But 2003, I think it was, he got worse a bit rapidly, and my Mum ended up taking my sister and I to visit him fairly regularly. And it was only a few weeks after he was hospitalised that he died. *sighs* That was the most depressing Christmas ever.

I've have relatives with cancer on both sides of my family. My Pa, as mentioned, on my Mum's side, and one of my Dad's sisters had breast cancer (but surgery dealt with that).

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Cancer is vile like that. You think it's under control and then it slams back. Bastard of a thing. It is really your own body killing you.

My other grandparents all died of other causes, but my uncle fought cancer and won. Fingers crossed it is for good.

I'm all for being sceptic to claims online, but man, I wouldn't attck anyone having suffered or suffering cancer unless I was very, very, very, very, very sure it wasn't true.

"I'm all for being sceptic to claims online, but man, I wouldn't attck anyone having suffered or suffering cancer unless I was very, very, very, very, very sure it wasn't true."

Completely agree. Sometimes you really have to just draw a line.

*thwaps vile!mouse.*

Yeah, what drakyndra said.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You can have cheese.

*munches cheese.*

My gran had cancer. It didn't kill her, directly anyway. That kind of shit-stirring by the mouse was uncalled for. Who died and made it God?

I need a drink. Got any beer?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing it is a mouse somehow related to the original wank. Because that had many, many posts of mice and others going on about how Christina wasn't dying, it wasn't that serious, etc, etc. Many got angry, some of the mice and others got defensive, aggression fuelled aggression, it became quite polarized. And vicious.

Got plenty of beer. Help yourself. Have one for you gran too. I lost one of mine to cancer and it's a nasty thing to watch someone you love suffer.

[siraj.livejournal.com]

I'm going to need vodka, aquavit, absinthe and jack daniels. Leave the bottles, if you please, I'm needing to get thoroughly smashed. I've lost 7 relatives to cancers of various types already, and my grandpa on my dad's side just last year had to have a kidney removed because a nagging bit of it was attacking him there. They got the cancer, and he lost a kidney.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

My sympathies. At least your grandpa's got a good shot at it, right? But yeah, it's a bastard of a thing and quite a lot of people have at least lost one person they know to cancer.

Help yourself to whatever you want, and peanuts too.

[siraj.livejournal.com]

They got it all... he's just minus a kidney now.

My thanks. I'm going to need something other than alcohol in my system anyway. *Knocks back a shot of vodka*

This icon speaks to the mouse as my representative.

That callous comment takes "offensive" to a new level. My grandfather has been suffering from late-stage Alzheimer's for a long time now; if anyone said that to my face about him I'd sure as hell beat the shit out of them.

I hope that rat-fucking, shit-sucking pondscum gets served and die just as slowly. >:(

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I'd lend you the bat.

Course, I doubt that would get said to someone's face. The Internet is quite faceless, so easier to say certain things here that you wouldn't in real life. Sometimes I think it even just makes us forget how offensive a remark can until we see the reaction to it.

Still, that one was just vile.

My sympathies on your grandfather. Cancer break down someone's body, Alzheimer does the mind. Both are nothing I'd wish on anyone.

[aervir.livejournal.com]

Right now, my thoughts about Vile!Mousie revolve around an axe and a chainsaw. Or around a massive reality check for that fucker.

I saw someone dying slowly, step by step, for a little over four years, and it is an experience I wouldn't wish on anyone. Not even on such a revolting person.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Quite. Don't think anyone can imagine the downright horror of experiencing it happening to someone you love until you're in that position.

Since when is cancer or death wank fodder?...

[anybodybutsara.livejournal.com]

Not nice...Not nice at all...Kharma has a way of catching up with those folks who make light of stuff like that, worry not...

ABS;)

Re: Since when is cancer or death wank fodder?...

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Ah, but that particular karma I would wish upon no one.

Wouldn't mind a name and shame, though.

[falena]

Vile!Mousie meet my icon.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

The Doctor agrees.

[juliejordan.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I really hope the drama over CharityWank explodes soon. I'm in need of some cheap entertainment and no one provides it better than the HP fans.

And can I use your wank shelter, please, Miss? It's bigger and cooler than mine, and you serve the best drinks. ;)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

It is hard to beat the level of batshit and devotion to it that HP can drum up, yes.

Sure thing! What's your particular poison today?

*boggles some more*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Quite.
