And steak? No problem...the only beef problem we've had here is due to E. coli in hamburger. Cook them medium well, but continue to enjoy your steaks rare.

chicken tar tar is the real problem

ok ok ....Im done

[lsee]

Cruise control (slaps forehead)...Thanks, I was scratching my head over that one! hee

[Nataku X]

Thank you for the information. :o) I guess I can sleep easy. :o)

Lunch's always Cheez-its. Healthy, huh?

[processing please hold]

OK. I'm revolted. BYE

A man goes to the doctor and is diagnosed with a tapeworm. The doctor recommends a powerful drug with serious side effects.

The man is nervous about the drug and asks if there is any other cure.

The doctor tells him to return the next day with a hard boiled egg and a lemon cookie.

The next day he returns, the doctor inserts the hard boiled egg in the man’s butt, followed by the lemon cookie.

This continues for 4 more days when the doctor tells him to bring another egg and a ball peen hammer the next day.

On the 6th day, the doctor places the man on the table and inserts the hard boiled egg, but no cookie.

A few minutes pass.

A few more minutes pass.

After about 10 minutes, the tapeworms head emerges and asks, “Where’s my cookie?”

The doctor then hits it with the ball peen hammer.

A coworker of mine claims the same thing happened to a relative of hers. He bought a pork burrito from one of those ubiquitious Mexicans who sell from carts on the streets of Southern California.

[Nataku X]

Thanks... so it's either getting a bellyful of growth hormones or a bellyful of parasites... but, of course, I guess the latter's worse than the former. :-)

I'll sleep easier now. :-)

"...The worms play peanuckle on your snout..."

I believe that would be "pinochle."

YMMV

[Stentor]

No, I think certain types can spread to cause Cysticerci in the brain

The first episode of the Fox Medical drama House was about this subject.

There was a more scary one then The Tingler, as I recall, also a 50's movie, with more realistic brain/spinal-column creatures. However, the name escapes me.

"Fiend Without a Face"!!! One of the great, freaky 50's horror movies that scared the crap out of me as a kid on late night TV in the 60's-70's ("The Fly" and "The Thing" were the other two).

IIRC, some nuclear mishap causes people to die, and their brain and spinal cords come back to life, and fly around and strangle you, then feast on your flesh. A family is holed up in a house and these things are trying to bust in, flying through the boarded-up windows, down the chimney, etc. Serious nightmare stuff.

Everybody's killing them left and right, with axes, guns... the effects are surprisingly gory and gross for the 50's. Recommended!

"Kevin was more than a professional; he was a person.”

Wow- that just about says it all.

[Pharmboy]

You are correct, sir; I was just focusing on meat on the hoof. But chicken can surely be a source of E. coli as well...

[Jhensy]

More "Fiend Without a Face".

[Tealc]

Which type is it? :)

[asgardshill]

I believe that would be "pinochle."

I disagree. It was probably canasta (a great old game that deserves a comeback).

[valkyrieanne]

What is this "struggled with a parasite" nonsense? That immediately brought to my mind an image of some guy wrestling with a tapeworm the size of a squid.

Oh, I get it - it's the new politically correct way to say that someone was *infected* with a parasite, but that would be too harsh and callous. So we "struggle" instead. Barf!!!

[Rebelbase]

Could be one of Hathor's.

"after he climbed onto the roof of the car he was driving" That's dangerous

No easy trick either
