cryptique Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Shut up! You do not! Really, though? I've never heard of anyone actually having that. Have you read The Last Catholic in America?The kid across the street from me had it. He used to bitch about it all the time. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ScottHoward Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Shut up! You do not! Really, though? I've never heard of anyone actually having that. Have you read The Last Catholic in America?I have not read that book. If it were titled The Last Non-Practicing Catholic in America or the The Last Chreaster in America, I might be interested. What's it about? Yes, I do have osgood shlatter. I'll try to find a digital camera and take a picture of my knee and the bone which protrudes under my knee cap. Quite frankly, I think it's the only reason I'm not 6'8". And with my jumper and being 6'8" - I'd be in the NBA. I blame everything on this horrible affliction. Link to post Share on other sites

gogo Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I have not read that book. If it were titled The Last Non-Practicing Catholic in America or the The Last Chreaster in America, I might be interested. What's it about?It's about a kid growing up in Chicago in the 50s, and going to Catholic school. Very funny, I enjoyed it as a non-practicing Catholic, but it would probably be even better for a non-practicing catholic from Chicago. There's a section about two kids with Osgood Schlatter, and I always thought that it was a fictitious disease. It's just such a great name for a disease. Edit: I had to check this out on Amazon. I would have assumed this was out of print, but apparently it was reissued in paperback last year. Also, one of the reviews says that this book is sold in catholic bookstores, which really makes me wonder if anyone who works at any of those bookstores has actually read the book.

It's more of a bone growth than a disease, I think. I got out of countless gym classes because of it, though. It was a great excuse. One of my uncles has it too, and had to wear a cast as a kid. He claims it's from walking with one foot on the curb and one on the street all the time. Link to post Share on other sites

jenbobblehead Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 DAMN THE WASP!!speaking of wasps, i opened the screen on one of our windows last night to Mrs Kravitz the neighborhood and when i put my hand down on the window sill, my fingers curled around the storm window and i felt something weird, so i drew my hand back and my fingers were covered in something that was kind of moving but wasn't sure if it was fluff, or insulation or what so i kind of shook my fingers and it all disappeared and then i peered out the window to see what it was, and i had stuck my hands into hornets' nests (small ones, like the size of lemons maybe) under the sill. Luckily it was dark and chilly so they weren't moving very quickly and i managed to shut the window before i was stung many many many times. whew. Link to post Share on other sites
