OT: Off-Topic Thread Episode VII: No Loungin', Bae

[InfinityIggy]

When I forget to put on my watch in the morning, I notice it the first time I need to check the time. I don't make a habit out of checking the time on my phone like a lot of people.

Same, I find it easier to glance at my wrist than pull my phone out of my pocket and turn it on, especially if I'm walking somewhere.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

I'm used to the weight on my wrist so it feels awkward if I leave my place without a watch on.

I even have a spare watch in the office in case I'm biking to work and forget to pack one haha

I don't always write 35 pages between two papers, but when I do, I do it in less two days. Someone please kill me. I'll buy you Wendy's.

Wendy's christmas party was the real ****

I got a carrot thrown at my face.

Was there any beef patty slapping?

Was there any beef patty slapping?

The patties were safely put away.

A good Christmas party results in at least 4 cases of drunk and disorderly, 3 cases of public nudity, 2 cases of alcohol poisoning and 1 goat in a Santa costume.

I need to make a habit of looking at the time on my watch than my phone, when I get a watch. Apparently the risk of testicular cancer is greater if your phone is in your side pocket.

Not sure if i believe that, but I don't put phones in my side pocket just because it's pretty uncomfortable anyways. Share your watch if/when you get it! I'm interested in knowing what you pick

 

[Lunatik]

it's a tough choice but I think I would prefer cancer in my right testicle. Otherwise it ruins any good "I'd give my left nut" joke.

Still works if you get it in your left. You're gonna lose it anyways, so salvage the right.

I was thinking more when I'm a post-op

Have any of you guys ever had a prostate exam? I did for the first time last "Movember". I was part of a team doing fund raising for Movember and I thought I might as do the full deal and get my prostate checked. Definitely not the most pleasant thing in the world but I'm happy I had it done to be sure.

I actually researched this pretty extensively for a class. There is zero evidence of this. Don't believe everything you read on the internet.

Yeah, I had my first when I was 23, I was having a ton of severe pain thru my lower abdomen, lower back and man parts. They checked for everything for a couple years until they finally found the cause of the pain.

I am young enough still that getting one isn't really needed although I guess you don't have to be old at all to get prostate cancer.

In any case my grandfather died of prostate cancer. After years of nagging my father he finally went for a check this summer.

I will no doubt have to soon enough as I am at extremely high risk for it.

Diagnosed with 'too much man'

I'll probably go every 2-3 years until I'm 40 then I'll likely go every year. It's good peace of mind.

I haven't yet, though I suppose it's never a bad time to start. I do think about it once in a while though. I always thought it was something most guys shouldn't have to worry about until after 40.

I will say this though, a prostate exam >>>>>>>>>>>> a barium enema AINEC

Wow that doesn't sound like something I'd be "open" to at all.

When you need it, it's not so much of a choice. It's how (or one of the ways they check your intestines for leaks.

For those who don't know.

They have you on a very strict diet for 48-72 hours while consuming medications to clean you out. Then then insert an enema, they then lay you down and fill you with a cleaning solution and then stand you back up. Then they do the same steps with barium which is a chalky looking white liquid, it coats your intestines. Then they fill you with air and take x-rays of your intestines.

And when your doctor through this procedure is this sexy blonde with an Australian accent, it ruins all Australian women for you.

You also fart white powder for days after.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

I hope that never happens to me. I love sexy blondes with Australian accents.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

That sounds like the most uncomfortable procedure ever. Did you ask the Doc for a selfie?

Yup, and it was over fairly quickly too. The important thing is to ensure that the doctor doesn't have cold hands.
