    I don't know anything about John Ritchie, but if I hear "Say You, Say Me" one more time, I'm going to throw a tomato at Lionel Ritchie.

    Uh, you're not on advanced life support and then get released a short time later. It's one or the other. *rollseyes million times at media incompetence* [Reminds me of a time long before the internets when someone famous - Reagan? - was reported as having "open heart surgery" and it was some other operation not the same as the above.]

    This story is turning into a bad sorority porn/horror movie. Someone is going to die. I don't like it.

    Apparently the patient refused to go to the hospital, and "advanced life support" in the context of fire/ambulance rescue just means that a paramedic is involved rather than an EMT.

    So let's hope this is nothing serious, no matter who the patient is.

    @registered: You're right. In Jersey at least, the protocol is to send a paramedic van equipped for advanced life support if the cops think such is warranted.

    In reply to How Not to Get Arrested When You're Abroad: A Foxy Knoxy-Inspired Guide
    This article " may throw you into a xenophobic panic" -- BECAUSE it reeks xenophobia and lack of understanding of other (apparently less "developed" & "open-minded) countries, like, say, Thailand and the Netherlands.

    "Do Not Use Drugs" -- Because it's legally okay to use drugs in the US? No, because you don't know how to use drugs and not to get caught in another country and you have less resources to get out of trouble there, even if it's Canada.

    "Know that Pranks Are Always Lost in Translation" -- Yeah, like if you string a line across the road and trip a lady and she gets hurt, you won't be in a load of shit if you're in the US. Don't do stupid pranks regardless of where you're.

    "Never Underestimate How Prude the Rest of the World Is" -- Countries that don't have strong Judeo-Christian/ Islam ethical background are actually a hell lot more open-minded about sex than the US is. Like, say, Japan and Thailand.

    "Learn This Sentence in the Native Dialect" -- Good suggestion, though I don't think it's likely that most have enough language talent to speak it intelligibly in a language they don't know, especially when they're in trouble and in shock. Carry a card with that sentence printed in both the native language and English instead.

    "Don't Start Shit" -- True. Though it has to be said that even if you're Japanese, you'd still get the same treatment in Japan.

    "Don't Go Places You're Not Allowed" -- True again, though I have no idea how that incites xenophobia or takes fun out of traveling abroad. Beside, isn't that part of the last point?

    In reply to The Gawker Guide to Getting Past Airport Security This Holiday Travel Season
    I flew out of JFK to Madrid last September on Delta. When I got on the plane, I discovered that the fold-down table was broken; the small screws (or nuts or lugs or whatever you call them) in the left side folding mechanism were very loose. The table was sagging by a good three inches on that side. I stopped a flight attendant and asked it it could be fixed. "No, we have no tools aboard". NO tools? I've seen you guys fix bathroom doors and other things on the plane. "No tools. Hold the table up with your knee when you eat. Sorry lady, you'll just have to put up with it." He walked away. Just then I realized I had my hair up in a big metal clip (that had survived going through the metal detector). I took it off, and used it (and a smaller bobby pin I found in my bag) to tighten the screws on the mechanism, and VOILA, table fixed. Five minutes later the same flight attendant walked by, looked at the table, and said, accusingly, "You fixed it? With what? You've got a screwdriver or something in that bag? How did you do that? Let me see. What did you use?" I just smiled and said, "I used my fingernails" (which are bitten to the quick. He gave me a dirty look and stalked off. He spent the rest of the flight eyeing me suspiciously, but never seemed to figure out about the hair clip.

    In reply to Michael Bay's Victoria's Secret Ad, as Subtle as a Raging Teenage Boner
    There once was a director named Bay,
    His films were quite a display
    of bad taste/soft porn
    which sold much popcorn
    From film making I wish he'd stay 'way.

    (Author's note: Just be glad Mr. Bay isn't from Nantucket.)

    Yeah, can you explain that? I had a raging boner that only went down a little at night between the ages of 12 and 35. Didn't matter what manner of abuse befell it, it just wouldn't go down. Very very awkward and thank goodness for large books and backpacks.
