Michigan Slim Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Watch me gut a deer and you'll see most of that chart in action. My kids look for running blood on my hands when I'm done. Really. It's true. Sad. But true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Well, now I know how to do this. One should strive to learn something new everyday. Tomorrow, Tonsillectomies! We’ll need more brandy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I would like to think that’s because...know what? Never mind. Some people think I am weird. What I was about to say would have confirmed it. That whistling you hear is me leaving....in search of a meme or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Back before the Plague, there was an annual gathering at the county fairgrounds in Mansfield, Ohio ... the biggest Civil War gathering of re-enactors and collectors in the New-ninety States! One of their attractions was a field amputation. The "victim" was marvelously moulaged and bloodied, he was laid down on the surgeon's table: his lower leg actually went down through a hole in the table and a dummy leg was quickly placed: the tourniquet was applied, the "limb" removed with speed and alacrity; when the bone saw cut through, it was actually cutting a length of PVC pipe, with a horribly realistic sound. (Yes, I've heard it for real, details omitted out of a sense of politeness) Anyway -- about the time everyone's teeth were set on edge when the saw hit the "bone", my wife turned to me with a box of Tic Tacs and said in the shocked silence, "Mint, dear?" EVERY EYE IN THE AUDIENCE TURNED TOWARD US AND GLARED LIKE WE WERE GHOULS. We stuck around afterward, my wife and I, two medical professionals discussing field amputations in clinical and professional terms: the surgeon was, in real life, a pediatric physician, and we shared a laugh about "Mint, dear," for he said he got such a perverse delight in watching faces turn green when he cut into that PVC!

Sedalia Dave Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 Anybody else noticed the resemblance between the snake in Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas and the Arm before the bone is sawed? Also how it looks baseball stitched? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Confederacy had far fewer resources during the war. Lead a cavalry raid overnight, do some doctoring once back in camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of leftists here in Seattle who could benefit from it. Or shall I say, the rest of us would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
