I demand sympathy! Either I ate bad chicken yesterday or I have suddenly become highly sensitive to alcohol and 3 beers kept me up all night. (a little bit of TMI inside)→[More:]Let's just say it sucks when you can't decide which has higher priority - facing the toilet or sitting on it... blech.

Someone needs to design some Escheresque Porcelain Monstrosity for such situations.

So sorry to hear it, gaspode... sounds like mild food poisoning to me, for sure. Ugh! Nothing to do but last it out, as far as I know.

I blame the earthquake.

That wasn't a bad chicken. This is a bad chicken.

awwww damn!

I'd sing you a happy song if I could, Gaspode.

Aw, nuts, Gaspode. That sucks. Food poisoning is one of the most rotten feelings in the world.

BTW, check your email.

"SYMPATHY" as you demanded.

Eeee! gaspode! What I do when it's coming out of both ends is sit on the toilet and put the wastebasket in front of me (to wash out later).

I'm lucky to have a bathroom so small that, if need be, I could sit on the throne and hurl into either the bathtub or the basin at the same time.

My sympathies, gaspode. Drink lots of water. Keep your electrolytes up, especially in the heat NYC is having.

Oh, 'pode. You have much sympathy from me. Try a little ginger beer. I find it more effective than ginger ale.

Thanks, guys. Happily, I've kept lunch down and am feeling somewhat perkier. I also started craving pineapple from that tattoo thread, so I must be recovering.

Food poisoning blows! Poor 'spode!

Glad you're feeling a little better, 'pode. Much sympathy here... there's nothing worse than nausea.

Mum always told me you could find sympathy between shit and syphilis in the dictionary.
