I just got back from having that bane of getting old--a colonoscopy. It looks like I'm going to have to have another one in three years or so. This has to be one of the worst things in medicine. Not the procedure so much, but the prep.

I am in total agreement with you John, speaking from experience, though I am currently on the 5 year plan having finished round 2 last year! :-)
The procedure is a piece of cake - that is what anesthesia is for! :-)
DT Spoiler - Enter at your own risk!
Spoiler:
I just have a mild anesthetic so I can watch what's going on via the monitor. It's just interesting to me.

If you need any helpful hints about the prep - I can try to help (with advice - thats all) - I have had more c-scopes before the age of 40 than most people have in their entire life. Let's just say I would need more than one hand to count them all...so far. There are 3 different preps out there - some worse than others (the gallon jug of colyte - "go-lightly" is anything but go lightly and the worst of the three). So there are options. The only thing that I look forward to is the valium that makes me forget everything and I just wake up in a bit after the procedure. Oh yeah - do yourself a favor - take off the day before (or leave work early) and don't wait until late in evening to start the prep.I am in total agreement with you John, speaking from experience, though I am currently on the 5 year plan having finished round 2 last year! :-)

Even though I'm originally a biologist, I currently work at the Physics department of the Dutch version of the NSF. In that capacity I spent the past two days at the major physics conference in the Netherlands and even though most of it is wayyyy out of my league, I was very impressed by the keynote lecture of professor Leo Kouwenhoven. This guy is a serious contender for a Nobel prize because last year, he and his research group found proof for the existence of the elusive Majorana fermion. This particle is going to be critical in the development of quantum computers. What these guys are doing is really phenomenal (both theoretically and in terms of nano-engineering)! I know you guys probably don't care but I'm a geek and proud of it!
Now I am turgid.

Had a good meeting with the wedding planner today, just a shame I've had my knee strapped up!
Where are Fat Freddy and Phineas??
We're also in full marriage-planning mode!! I'm already looking forward to The Day because all this stuff is fun but it costs a lot of time and energy...
They are "characters":Where are Fat Freddy and Phineas??
The Freak Brothers are not siblings. They are a threesome of freaks (similar to but distinct from the more well-known hippies) from San Francisco. Their names are Phineas Freakears, Fat Freddy Freekowtski and Freewheelin' Franklin (whose surname has not been revealed so far). The trio are anti-heroes, ingesting or smoking large quantities of drugs and consistently defying authority. They are lazy (several storylines revolve around the "horror" of one of the brothers having to find work) and unreliable — particularly in the case of Fat Freddy.
The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, from left to right, Phineas, Fat Freddy and Freewheelin' Franklin
The three Freak Brothers have very different personalities:
- Freewheelin' Franklin, although laid-back, is the most street-smart of the trio. Apparently he has always been on the streets and it appears that he is several years older than the others. He is certainly old enough to be troubled at times by impotence. In one story he reveals that he grew up in an orphanage and never knew his parents. Tall and skinny, he has a big bulbous nose, a waterfall mustache and a ponytail. He wears cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. In one strip, he runs into an ex-girlfriend who has a child that bears a striking resemblance to himself. He does his best to evade them and is relieved when she doesn't recognize him. He is thus unburdened of any parental obligation. In another strip, when he meets his own (possible) father, the same story line is inverted. Like father, like son.... Depending on the light, or perhaps the use of dye, his hair is red, blonde, or light brown.
- Phineas Phreak is the intellectual and idealist of the group. He has enough mastery of chemistry to create new drugs and takes an avid interest in politics. Of the three, he is the most committed to social change and environmental issues. He hails from Texas and while his mother is relaxed and open-minded, his father is a card-carrying member of the John Birch Society. He is the hairiest of the brothers - tall and skinny with a thick bush of black hair, a beard, a nose that bears more than a passing resemblance to a marijuana joint and glasses. He is the stereotypical left-wing radical, bearing a superficial resemblance to Abbie Hoffman or Jerry Rubin.
- Fat Freddy Freekowtski is the least intelligent of the brothers and is most likely to be preoccupied with food. He is fat, or at least plump, with curly yellow hair. His compulsion to eat is the subject of several of the adventures of the group. Fat Freddy regularly gets "burned" during drug transactions and when he does "score" he usually manages to lose the drugs in various ways, such as by dumping them out of a shopping bag in front of a cooling fan, which then blows them out the window onto a police car. Fat Freddy comes from a large, quite ordinary family in Cleveland. In The Idiots Abroad, Freddy visits the Polish village of Gfatsk, where everybody happens to look like him. Nevertheless, he is driven away by an angry mob as soon as they hear the name Freekowtski.
I read a bunch of Freak Brothers comics 25 years ago, and haven't thought about them in years. I chuckled when I saw your post.
I have a few of the original comics courtesy of Darkthoughts.
...and you describe them as lazy, potsmoking, slackers as if that were a bad thing.
That is there signature persona...I'd be the same except "bark" made me paranoid.
Love The FREAK BROTHERS !!!!!
