Back in my salad days in DC, I nearly severed two of my fingers while chopping veggies. The wait in the ER at Geo Washington hospital was interminable (almost 3 hours, because some jerk had gotten himself stabbed), and to add further insult to injury,my friends insisted on seeing me hmme rather than go to even a nearby bar. Mr Henry’s was a block away, as I recall. Oh well!

First stitches, now you’re all gonna “roast” me? I wish the Lord would just take me now…

‘Tis all true. Scott was born without the ability to muster up a genuine smile. What’s not true is his age. 47 at the most! He also wears a wig to conceal the fishhooks he has fastened to his temples – pulled taught with a string tied at the back of his head. Even a fake smile can cause this contraption to fail.

Everyone knows smiling is for imbeciles and Shrake is no imbecile. However, one does need to be careful not to get unattractive frown lines also. From the photo it is obvious that “bemused smirk” is the way to a more youthful complexion.

I love that the nurses played some Donkey Kong instead of fixing you up, glad you survived.

Scott, we’re worried about you. We get the thing about “swearing” and the gun and no one believing you. And it’s disturbing.
