I hope that she’s at least following this thread. I would hate for her to think we’ve spent 13 pages insulting her. Nope- just colanders. Colanders all around.

See, that’s a lie. This has been 13 solid pages of insulting her, but she will just see it as a bunch of people on the internet spending so much time being angry with her. Which reinforces her special snowflake status.

Is it still a colander if it’s a rectangle and made of white plastic? If so, we have three

..An enamel one AND a steel one?!? For Lent? Just plain lent? Or plain lunacy? Inquiring colander owners need to know.

So if I were that talented to actually save the life of someone who had rabies, yall would not be just finding about it on a messageboard, in a thread about colanders, outruled breastfeeding, and Mauritius. I would have been on Oprah talking about it months ago. Or NPR, like **Hippy**.

I’m awfully sorry to hijack this thread about colanders with this, but there is someone who survived rabies. To save someone you have to use the “Milwaukee protocol” (I’d link to the wiki, but my head only retaines useless information (see: I remembered that someone survived rabies))

For the record, when I was young, we had a device that dried lettuce AND could function as a colander! ([http://static.cadeaus.in/custom/images/155/guzzini-salade-centrifuge-latina-klein-groen.jpg](http://static.cadeaus.in/custom/images/155/guzzini-salade-centrifuge-latina-klein-groen.jpg))

Actually, multiple people have surivived rabies (the most recent is a Texas patient in 2009 who spontaneously recovered), which is why I said the disease is _almost_ always fatal. The “Milwaukee protocol” is not considered a cure, since its still considered experimental and hasn’t proved effective in the vast majority of patients it’s been used on.

Please don’t get **you with the face** started about rabies. She knows so much about it that she’s like an autistic savant. She even foams at the mouth sometimes.

Lolander. Is it pronounced LOL-ander or ell-oh-ell-ANDER? If I ever go to a Dopefest, I don’t want to embarrass myself when I show mine off and use the wrong pronunciation.

Thank you for fixing my ignorance! I’ll try to stop considering the “Milwaukee protocol” as a cure then 🙂  
(And I didn’t know you could spontaneously recover from rabies, but then again, I don’t know much about it)

Don’t feel bad. The Texas patient appears to be the first documented case of spontaneous recovery. Some people even doubt she had rabies it’s so unheard of. But you can read more about it here: [Presumptive Abortive Human Rabies --- Texas, 2009](http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5907a1.htm).

An $80 colander had better rub me own with scented oils and draw me a hot bath.

Also, she has so many friends on facebook, and unfriending them could have some very serious social ramifications.

But to unfriend them could have ramifications - they could be awkard next time I see them, etc. Like the weird neuroscience major who does crappy modern art and never hems his pants - I see him at one friend’s home maybe every other month.
