-- I'm currently flipflopping on "Keep Talking Shit, You're Making Me Famous." I could take the original story and expand it into a full-length gay romantic comedy, or I could just start a novel with the same premise and style with a female lead (keep the gay guy and the douchebag, just add a girl, too) since I've been wanting to write a book with a woman in the lead and this could work and would be a hell of a lot of fun. I don't know. I think I'll have to work on it this weekend and see what works out.

-- The rumors that we're all going to get laid off for the month of June are now also adding that it might be July we get laid off for. Obviously neither is an option I'm looking forward to, but if I scrimp just so and they don't permanently lay us off I may just say, "Fuck it," and use whichever month we get off as a month-long writing vacation. That's assuming it's not a permanent thing, though -- if they lay off us for June and then call us back on July 1st and say, "Never mind, it's for forever!" I'm going to flip my shit.

-- I really need to get the hell out of the house in the next six days I have off. I mean, Saturday is Hershey Park so I've got that going for me, but I'm tired and out of shape and the only time I feel like I see the sun anymore is when I'm looking out the window because the cat's spazzing out over a truck driving past.

I've actually heard doctors use the "donorcycle" one.

That first list is awesome. And the third one is pretty incredible, too. Also winceworthy, but I want some of these to show up on House or another show. And also never to hear them in regards to myself.

Doctors use "Circling the Drain" all the time and it's so crass and awful. I've even heard them use it on Scrubs. That made me sad.

I'm disappointed, though, that the list didn't include SUIT - a gynecological term meaning Something Up In There.

Must be American-centric because I've heard complete different ones in my hopistal.

The medical terms list has a link to a much longer list, which includes:

DBI - Dirt Bag Index: number of tattoos x number of missing teeth = days since the patient last bathed.

HA!

The Badass Science Stunts list had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. Too, too awesome.
