I know I joke around here alot, and some of you have grown to hate me and my all too wacky posts. But I wanted to share this depressing news with everyone.
For those of you who don't know, I am a recovering alcoholic. Unfortunately I didn't stop drinking in time to save my liver. not being a rich man, I could never get high enough on the donor transplant lists to make any sort of difference.
Today I got my most recent medical tests back. I didn't open them till now because I was, well, afraid.
I sat alone here most of the night crying into my glass of seltzer water staring at the envelope. My hand shaking, the fear was too much to overcome.
Finally, at 4am my time, I took a shot of courage from my old friend Jack and opened the envelope. My liver has completely shut down. The best case prognosis is two weeks, maybe three if I take it easy.
Bow ties are coool.

Of course it was fake. If you were dying of liver failure your ass would be in the hospital, suffering from an increase in ammonia developed by your kidneys. You'd probably wouldn't even remember what was going on due to the effect to your brain, and you'd probably go into a coma before you actually die.

Never really understood the moral of that story... Some little shit lies to everyone, they fall for it multiple times and when he finally does tell the truth no one will believe him. All their sheep get eaten while absolutely nothing happens to him. Who's really losing there?

In the end of the story the boy is eaten by wolves because the townspeople refuse to respond to his cries any longer. Does that help?

I think its a very important lesson that a lot of people missed out on.
for example, their are several posters here that are always bitching about bush, clinton, conservatives, and liberals. When you are always whining and moaning about something, you lose all credibility. Then when a valid story comes along and one of those posters start a thread about it, nobody cares.
