In other news - Paula Abdul says "she's not addicted to pills of any kind." And Barry Bonds does not take steroids.

Last November, the “Idol” judge was diagnosed with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, a chronic neurological disorder that causes severe pain.

“I get a shot (of an anti-inflammatory drug) once a week,” she said. “I give it to myself.”

So not addicted to pills, but addicted to the shots.

Abdul remarked that her 25 years of pain have been long and arduous, beginning with a cheerleading accident at 17 that injured a disc in her neck. The pain was punctuated with “a couple of car accidents” in the 1980s, her battle with bulimia, an emergency plane landing in 1992, paralysis in 1998 and years of failed treatments including prescription drugs, acupuncture and live leech therapy. Emphasis supplied.

The more interesting question would be what would you do if you woke up after having passed out drinking a ton of beer the night before and the owner of the random apartment you are at is locked in the only bathroom for a seemingly 10 hour long shower, and the apartment is on the second floor and has a balcony? Theoretically, of course.

Piss in the sink.

Check over on Infirm. There's a large discussion over who the hell he is (poor kids, they just don't study history anymore). It's quite entertaining. I found out quite a bit myself. For instance, I didn't even know who Mcbvr6 was until today.

Crap on the floor outside the bathroom and leave a hallmark card.

I have had both platonic guy friends and boyfriends with this issue. What's the deal with that? Could someone please explain to us sitting pee-ers how it is possible not to notice this? I give a bit of a pass to my friend who typically only peed outside the lines when he was sleepwalking, but otherwise what is a plausible excuse?

You assume we:

(1) are paying attention to what we're doing (we frequently are not, and quite possibly are checking ourselves out in the mirror).

(2) are sober (you know you were drunk when the toilet paper roll is wet).

(3) know at which angle and at what velocity it is going to come out. (sometimes, we don't know until it starts).

(4) don't back up to see how far away we can get but still make it in (or near) the bowl (okay, I stopped doing this when I was 11 a/k/a 2 years ago).

(5) don't pee with morning wood (have you ever witnessed this? The morning-wood urination attempt? Your body almost has to be parallel with the floor. Flexibilty is required).

A fine idea, would it not have been for the only other sink being a kitchen sink full of dishes in a kitchen open to a room with 10 or so other people snoozing on the floor, theoretically.

In the kitchen sink, apparently.

You beeg, beeg men say it like it's so easy. But if you're Mr. Man (who, despite his avatar, is really 4'7"), what do you do? The poor soul has already admitted to problems with his aim -- you expecting him to accomplish some kinda complicated arc?

Paris and Nicole are no longer friends.

"It's no big secret that Nicole and I are no longer friends," Hilton said in a statement Wednesday. "Nicole knows what she did, and that's all I'm ever going to say about it."

Last week, Hilton, 24, told USA Today that Richie will be replaced on "The Simple Life" by her friend Kimberly Stewart, the daughter of singer Rod Stewart.

Anyone know what Kimberly looks like? Is she hot? Not that I care. But you guys might.

What is your theoretical point?

My post-college roomate's puppy ate:

1. About $50 worth of marijuana (doesn't sound like a lot, but that's a lot of pot for a dog that weighs less than 10 pounds). He was fucking stoned out of his mind and we were both petrified that he would die. My friend took him to the vet, but at that point, he had to just ride it out. He just kept leaning over, drooling and had his eyes 3/4th shut.

2. A Shishkebab stick. Whole. Mind you, the stick was about 80% the length of his body. He was in tremendous pain, couldn't move at all. We couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. The x-rays the vet took were unbelievable.

3. About $75 worth of weed (my roomate was a big smoker). Apparently he had a good high the first time and needed more to maintain once he got bigger.

My roomate never trained that damn dog, so if he could reach it, he would eat it. That, combined with the fact that he was a slob and smoked with a bunch of other bluntheads on sega league night, who then all ordered a bunch of shit, ate it and left everything lying around after they finally passed out at 6:30 am, did not make for a healthy combination.

I am trying to picture TM's stoner college roomate with this for a pet:

That will teach someone with dozens of drunk people sleeping in her apartment not to lock the fucking door while showering.

I believe there may be some chance it was a scale, working model of a clothes hamper or something like that. In any event, the yellow tape would not even be in the field of vision at that point.

Take the dishes out of the kitchen sink. I'm kinda shy.

You probably would object to using maggots to clean wounds too.

Yes. Yes I would. A suggestion like that would cause shrieking.
