"Priapism? That's the least of your worries!"

Cool sketches of "hateful" DC people from Sparky Donatello. And here are "little people I trampled over on my way to DC."

Meade said...: Britannica Concise Encyclopedia: Priapus

Greek god of animal and vegetable fertility. He was represented in a caricature of the human form, grotesquely misshapen, with an enormous phallus. The ass was sacrificed in his honor, probably because it symbolized lecherousness and was associated with the god's sexual potency. His father was Dionysus and his mother was either a local nymph or Aphrodite. In Hellenistic times the worship of Priapus spread throughout the ancient world, and he was adopted as the god of gardens.

If only I had a nickel for every time some fool has interrupted my work by pointing at my loins and muttering to their companion, "I think he goes by the name Meade but obviously he's some kind of greek garden god."; 10/29/08, 10:32 AM

Wince said...: I've always wondered about the significance of four hours?

What invisible -- well, maybe not invisible -- threshold is crossed after four hours?

For me, after two hours, I'd be penning a letter to Penthouse Forum. Is that respository of apocryphal adolescent fantasy still around?; 10/29/08, 1:17 PM
Chip Ahoy said...: That happened to an acquaintance. An unsavory fellow who did a lot of ecstasy. Took Viagra and it didn't wear off. Knowing this Duffus, he probably tripled the dosage. Required an early morning emergency room visit so he could go to work that day. I didn't care to inquire about the cure because that would have prolonged the tale, but it would have suited me just fine if they punctured the affected area to bleed it out.; 10/29/08, 3:46 PM
vet66 said...: After 4 hours it begins to damage the the blood vessels in the penis. Before walking into the emergency room in this condition, suggest you take an anti-histamine which will dilate the blood vessels and allow the blood to continue on it's journey.

If that doesn't work, wear a long shirt as if you were carrying a concealed weapon when entering the waiting room.; 10/29/08, 4:09 PM
veni vidi vici said...: if not attended to, after 4 hours your penis begins to get damaged blood vessels. they say that by 5 and a half hours, you're left looking like you've got the defrosted, uncooked contents of a package of "steak-umms" dangling between your legs.; 10/29/08, 6:21 PM
