::channeling Buster Poindexter from one of the most underrated movies of all time, Let It Ride::
welby, you’re my king.
And now for the amazing adventures of
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelbyman!
[cue cheesy superhero music]
In the dark city, Welbyman patrols the streets looking for crimes to solve, people to rescue, and little old ladies to help across the street. Suddenly, the sky is lit with the shining image of a blood drop. Welbyman is needed!
“Looks like Shibboleth is causing trouble again. Quick Garius! To the Welbymobile! And take off those damn tights. No, not now, damn it! Agggh!”
Laid low by the view of Garius’ ass, Welbyman sinks into a shock coma. Will he awake in time? Will juice and cookies even help after such a horrible event? Will Garius put his pants back on?
Find out on the next exciting episode of:
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelbyman!

did you get a chuppa chup, too?
Dammit, I can’t be a hero. I have nice strong blood, too, and veins you could hit from across the room with both eyes closed. They keep telling me I don’t weigh enough, but for my height I am not underweight at all - I’m just really small for a grown-up. I never did understand that weight restriction thing.
They told me the weight restriction is because I need all of my little corpuscles working for me instead of some stranger. I have a difficult time coming up with three vials of blood for testing purposes!
We’re heading off to be brave now. Thankfully, I am nowhere near underweight, and my corpuscles can be used for all of you people who can’t give.
I’d envy you more if you’d gotten to put a sticker on her chest. 
Nah, elfje, they did have Tootsie Pops though. The cookies were the canned kind, which I don’t like. But they had OJ!
RTFirefly if I’d been able to do that I’d be back giving blood under a different name today.
I’ve always wanted to give a hug to someone that gave blood, but everybody I know is either incapable of doing so (age, weight, medical problems) or “can’t be bothered” to do so.
Here’s one for the hero!

All hail welbyman giver of life
I’m too pregnant to be a hero!
Maybe next year, specially since I too have that O- they prize so much
mm, I’ve O+ but can’t give blood…
nitrates due to skydiving
…
and here’s me, not being afraid of needles at all!
psss, welby, OJ the guy? Or what did you mean by that?
(i’m not from the US…enlighten me!)
OJ the juice, elfje. Orange Juice that is.
OJ = common US abbreviation for orange juice
It was around before OJ Simpson became popular, and they sometimes called him “Juice” as a nickname.
ah, thanks. 'splains a lot.
we just say the full word. We must be crazy
in Dutch OJ would be Sinasappelsap (sap = juice). In Flemish it would Appelsiensap
just to confuse you, hehe.
There. We’re all hero-ed out at our house. I’m gonna go lay down now.
I’m too English to be heroic, but I am jealous.
I’ve been brave at least 16 times, at least that’s what the pin on my dresser says.
Enjoy,
Steven
That’s all you’ve got Mtgman, some cheesy pin? I got a sticker shaped like a medal that states in bright bold letters that I’m not only a hero, but I’m brave.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it, buster.
