Well, he was probably tired of that old car anyway. Here’s hoping the insurance buys a really shiny new one! Get better soon :wally:
Bratman–
So I’ve never responded to your threads or to your comments in threads, but I’m fairly new here anyway. I’ve had many laughs (and a few “ew-yucks!” :eek:) from your posts, so I for one think you should keep on posting and such in spite of a lil car accident! Heavily drugged or not–sounds to me like you’ve still got one good wing to type with and you’re just lying around doing nothing right now… 
Besides, dying from a car accident is so cliche. Now my husband’s friend, he died at the age of 26 after being struck by lightning. Talk about a fairly unique way to go. Blew his shoe bottoms off and melted his sunglasses! While a tragedy to be sure, all his fraternity brothers at the funeral (including PLD) said that if Matt were hanging out at his own funeral (he could’ve been…we don’t know) he’d have said, “I died how? Way Cool!!” So, hang around until you find a more interesting, original way to get off this rock.
So this guy–we assume a friend of yours who is NOT your Boo Boo Tigress–asks for some encouraging words to keep your mind occupied while the ol’ body mends itself. So first I was thinking I’d just suggest he print this thread, Check-in for All Female Newbies, for you so then at least his little brain would be easy to keep awake! :o
Then, I read you were a Python Fan and thought naturally of Ex-Parrot sketch (“No, no, 'e’s uh,…he’s resting.”), but that was too difficult to make fit. I also thought, “Hmmmmm, 'Spam, Bratman, Spam, Bacon & Spam,” but again, that fell flat. Then it hit me a little ditty from “Life of Bratman (Brian)”!
So I thought I’d post it before any of the hardcore Python fans stole my bright idea…so here you go, Bratman, in lovely stereophonic sound…
Seriously though Boo-Boo, get better. You cheated it once, you can do it again–just no “third times a charm” crap or we’ll suspect you’re fakin’ it or just trying to get more Female Dopers to put you on their laminated lists! {{{{{Hugs}}}} and all that rot…
:wally
Take care,
Peta
p.s. Odz, I hope this IS what you had in mind or I’m gonna feel awfully guilty.
Get better soon, snookums!!!
{{{{BOO BOO}}}}
P.S. My sincere wishes on a fast recovery, with the exception of that BEEP button on your nose. Tell the doctors to remove it during surgery, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?
You know I think I’m going to have to find some way to blame The Brat for this. I was talking to Jim again who says Brat wasn’t wearing his glasses last night. He’s not supposed to drive at night without his glasses. Do you think he could get in trouble for this or does the fact the it was a durnk driver that hit him absolve The Brat for not wearing his glasses?
I guess this means that you’re forced to quit smoking for now. I guess that means you can restart your no-smoking counter. Get well soon Bratman!
Nothing clever to say here, just “Get well soon, Bratman”. We all want you back here.
maybe the other driver was distracted by his mood jacket.
hmm…
feel better, you.
Brat-Boo-Boo must be getting better or you wouldn’t be worrying about him getting in trouble for not wearing his glasses. That’s very reassuring. Whew.
I can’t imagine a lawyer slimy enough to suggest that this contributed to the accident.
He’ll get a snazzy new car out of this, and he can use what’s left over (which should be a LOT) for laser surgery so he won’t even need glasses anymore.
And if he has any other body parts that he’d like to polish up, he’ll be able to fix those too.
Freakin’ drunk drivers!
Ok, Boo Boo. That’s quite enough of that laying about just to get some attention from the cute nurses. 
It’s high time you wake up, and start showing them your true colors: pestering them, pinching their bottoms, ogling their cleavage when they bend over… all that stuff.
I read a quote the other day you might find useful someday. Mel Gibson said, on what women want: “Mostly I think it’s somewhere between chocolate and conversation.” He forgot one major thing: lots and lots of <leans over, accidentally on purpose showing him her cleavage, and whispers in his ear> Sex. Sex. Sex. Sex. Sex. <giggling, she sashays back out of the hospital room>
<later, when everyone else had gone for a short time, purplebear sneaks back in, hiding a water balloon filled with ice water behind her back> Coming up to his bedside, she sees that he’s almost asleep, so she gets closer and says “Hey, Boo Boo! Catch!” She drops the balloon onto his lap <yes, right there> and rushes out of the room as he screams from the cold water landing…well, use your imaginations, guys.
<I hope this is what you wanted, Mark> You’re a dear to tell us, and to keep us informed. Thank you.
Ron, seriously, get better soonest, you’ll be in my prayers. I will miss the silliness and the flirting, and most of all, your sweet nature. Tell me, were you wearing your mood jacket when this happened? I’d hate for that to be the cause of it, distracting other drivers like that.
Mega hugs to you, Ron, and to you too, Tigress. And for Mark, for being such a dear and telling us.
I just hit preview, and saw Kilgore’s post. We think alike, I see!
Get well soon Boo Boo, um, I mean Bratman…and ignore Diane’s comment about fixing the ‘beep’ button on your nose. Everyone needs a good beep now and then.
Seriously, get well soon.
Rose
PS, Be strong Tigress
He’s always wanted to get his old '66 Chevy back. That should leave him with plenty of extra cash. Unfortunatly laser surgery will not correct his eye. He doesn’t wear his glasses often cuz his left eye is fine but his right eye was damaged in the previous car accident 5 years ago. He has almost no peripheral vision on his right side.
But yes all accounts point to him being out of the tough part. Surgery went ok and there doesn’t seem to be any internal bleeding or presure on his brain from hitting his head. It is still early but doctors say he should make a complete recovery. They’re keeping him medicated though so he doesn’t wake up in a lot of pain. I haven’t spoke to Jim in a while so I don’t know if he’s completely conscious or not yet.
A bright side of it is that he is at the hospital where his sister works as a nurse so he’s getting extra special treatment from her nurse friends. Remember Rachel - the nurse he tried to impress and ended up getting electrocuted? I would post a link but I don’t know how - she’s there along with two other bridesmaids from the wedding. So he is completely surrounded by family and friends of the family.
Boo bo…I mean Bratshe…I mean BRATMAN!
Hope you get better soon. hugs
Thanks for the constant updates Odz. It is good to hear his family is with him.
He must be loving the drugs…
I love how you guys bug him about this Boo Boo thing. I’ve heard Tigress call him that maybe three times in all the times we’ve hung out together, and it’s usually just to tease him. Here it sounds like that’s what she calls him all the time.
In case anyone is wondering The Brat or Bigfoot are his official nicknames. Brat came from his sister because of his smart ass attitude and Bigfoot was his Air Force callsign because he’s 5’10" but wears a size 12 or 13 - depending on the cut of the shoe.
Rachelle is there? Oh, so that’s what this is all about. Resorting to a car crash to impress the nurse? Like almost electrocuting himself wasn’t enough? Jeez, the lengths that some men will go to just to impress a woman.
Always knew I liked Boo Boo.
Get well soon, Brat. We need ya back.
:wally:
I’m glad to see your getting better, Brat. Since you have all those nurses hanging around, you think you could put in a good word for me? I saw this great porno one time where this nurse…never mind. Anyway, hope to see you back here soon.
Also, welcome to the boards Odz. Hope you stick around.
Ron, it’s a pleasure reading your posts. I hope you have a full recovery, so you can continue to flirt with all of the women here! Besides, I don’t know anyone else with a mood jacket!
Best of wishes,
Doug
Get well soon, Brat, from your ol’ pal Jubei.
He BratMan, as soon as you are able, the first beer is on me. There, that should spur him on to recovery. 
Get well, Boo-Boo.
Hey boo boo,
Glad to hear your “feeling much better” I heard they were taking you down to the morgue when you said “But I’m not dead yet” but the doctor just said “you will be soon”.
Seriously though, I’m glad your not dead.
I dont think the Straight Dope woulda let us put up another banner. It grows tiresome you know. Besides man, this has been done to death! Try some originality for cripes sake! :wally
