I admit to reading and (enjoying) Jane Austen.So imagine my amusement when I found a Facebook version of Pride and Prejudice.Ah,the drama....

'Tis The Season...

...for lists.Y'know,it being 2 weeks to year's end and all.So I present The Top 10 Incredible Self-Surgeries.My favorite is the Mexican woman who performed a cesarean section on HERSELF.And survived.Let me quote:

Ramírez Pérez lives in rural Rio Talea Mexico which has 500 people and only one phone. In March of 2000 the 40-year-old mother of seven was alone in her cabin when her labor started. She assumed her birthing position by sitting up and leaning forward. At midnight after 12 hours of continual pain and little advancement in labor and rather than experience another fetal death that occurred from her last pregnancy Ramírez decided to operate on herself. She drank from either a bottle of rubbing alcohol or 3 small glasses of hard liquor” (different accounts vary). She then grabbed a 15-cm knife and began to cut. Ramirez sawed through skin, fat and muscle and after operating on herself for an hour she reached inside her uterus and pulled out her baby boy who breathed and cried immediately. She says she cut his umbilical cord with a pair of scissors and then passed out. When she regained consciousness she wrapped clothes around her bleeding abdomen and asked her 6-year-old son to run for help. Several hours later the village health assistant found Ramírez alert and lying beside her healthy baby. She was then taken to the nearest hospital eight hours away by car and underwent surgery to repair complications resulting from damage to her intestines incurred during her C-section. She was then released from the hospital and made a complete recovery.

Hardcore.Bumight,take note:)

Music Video Friday 10: I Wanna Lick The (W)Rapper

I can't stop grinning.
The original was a workmanlike piece of contemporary hip hop,but this.....this makes the song fun.Plus,the simply hilarious image of white youth rocking to the lyrics of a deliciously filthy hip hop track.....ROFL. This goes into my Happy playlist.I wonder if anyone else tried to cover this song....

Oh.My.God.Someone did a ballad.And it doesn't suck.


It's not as flat out hilarious as the first,but in some ways it's even more impressive.Anyway,the rock video is from Framing Hanley and the ballad is by Right Side Of The Tree.Enjoy.I know I will:)
