"Cowpoke" takes on a hole new meaning.

[Libertina]

It's definitely going to be less appetizing to have a BBQ!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, FOR THAT PING, TEXAS GIRL!!
I read everything that comes out on MS, and I hadn't heard of this!
My daughter reads the same things as I read so she may not have heard of it, either.
I'll forward this to her!

Folks, there's an old saying, "Don't judge an Indian until you walk a mile in his mocassins."
If this procedure will find a cure for MS, I support it all the way.
If you had MS, I think you would, also.

Puddlegum, I know what you're going through, and I'm very sorry.
My daughter was diagnosed about five years ago.

I guess the term "Bite me" will have new meaning, yes?

Bwahahaha.

Yesterday's Daily Yomiuri (I can't find it in the on-line version) had an article in the Science section about putting rat's teeth in pigs. Ewww.

[RadioAstronomer]

If this procedure will find a cure for MS, I support it all the way.

I agree with you.

I am so sorry to hear this news. :-( To both of you, I hope they find a cure soon!

"(Hold Muh Steak Alert)"?

I told you that this Hold Muh ______ Alert thing was going to be big. Now I can say that I know somebody who started a "trend" on Free Republic. ;-)

[Camachee]

but apparently there are people who admit to such reasoning.

Holy cow or cow-thingie!

I forgot to turn off the transgenetic sarcasm button. I'm a big advocate of speculative genetic engineering. I think we should all give up a few genes and hope for the best.

I only hope I will be crossed with a cat. I've always wanted to intellectualize why I p!$$ on bushes.

Don't forget to add Gene Rayburn to your "gene" pool:

Great! The wonders of modern science - they now know how to turn us all into cannibals.
