I think you meant ‘unlikely’, and 3 months is still freshly dead, but not yet a zombie. We need our SDMB zombies to get much more ripe first! 😉 ---

[QUOTE=D\_Odds] I think you meant ‘unlikely’… [/QUOTE] Transatlantic idiom strikes again. “Yeah, mate, I was talking to Dave last night; fed me a likely story about his missus gettin’ bitten by a fuckin’ pomeranian. Needed fifteen stitches to 'er nethers, 'e said. Bollocks. 'E 'asn’t been allowed near those drawers since the ‘oneymoon, poodle or no fuckin’ poodle.” Although I guess the voice I imagine that spoken in probably doesn’t belong to someone who would use a semi-colon. ---

DOH! :smack: Spent enough time over there that I should have recognized that. 20 lashes with a wet noodle (but only if administered by this year’s U.S. Open female champion). ---

[QUOTE=Askia] Funny this comes up – I’m short on cash and I wanted to borrow a trick from my ex-roommate Ves who used to sell blood plasma a few times a month. I can’t seem to find any information on blood banks in the Atlanta area that buy plasma and platelets. Sorry, I’m not in this for the dry cookies and too small t-shirt, thanks. That’s weird because I distinctly remember seeing one in midtown ages ago but I don’t think it’s there anymore. [/QUOTE] There’s one on Ashford Dunwoody Rd., if you know where that is. It’s Blood Bank of the South or somesuch. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-people-who-dont-donate-blood/361496.md?page=9)
