British get-well cards
May 24, 2009
I sent my little British brother a picture so he could see how I was recovering.
Danny responded with a poem:
Patrick’s had a hole drilled
I thought he had enough
The doctor seemed to disagree
Lets hope he knows his stuff
Not to be outdone, Danny’s Dear Old Dad followed up with:
Danny has just shown your photo OUCH.
First thoughts.
- Cosmetic surgery is superb. You were much uglier before!
- If you sneeze could you take someones eye out?
- if you plug in a speaker can we all hear what you are thinking ?
- Now that you are into piercings will you start playing punk?
- Do not think of ever leaving the country . You would never get past the metal detector at the airport!
- Can I have my screwdriver back now you dont need it ?
- make sure to give your barber a map.
- Surely it is in the wrong place. Front and centre woulld be much more impressive!
- Have your right ear moved back an inch or so cover it!
- Treat it with respect. You need it more than it needs you!
Listen up lad . Do what you are told and take it gently !
Very best wishes to your lug oles

You are now officially a cyborg! Part man part machine.
How about a Kraftwerk banjo lesson!
All the best,

Gruesomely awesome. Now you’ll just have to make sure your head is screwed on straight.
Happy healing.

The photo I got was more graphic. I don’t know whether to be disgusted or proud. I’m leaning towards proud.
Tom, I had the same thought re: cyborg, great minds my friend, great minds……

Wow Patrick, you could star in yuor own cheesy horror flick now. God speed your health back.

I’m thinking he could attach something like “Bloodbath McGrath” had in the movie Wild Wild West. Just kidding, of course. All the best for a speedy recovery.

Ouch, it hurts looking at it!
I’m sure it will be well worth it.
Bery best wishes.

I’ve heard that the surgeon was playing “Nine pound hammer” on his banjo before the op. I wonder why!
Take care Patrick, I hope that it all works out brilliantly for you.

Patrick,
I agree with Fernando- I can hardly look. Were you running away when the surgeon did that? He actually missed your ear by some inches.
As your exploits move you into the realms of folk history, I’ve written you a western ballad.
Best Wishes for continued recovery and success.
PATRICK AND THE SURGEON.
G D7 C G
PATRICK AND THE SURGEON THEY SQUARED UP ON THE STREET,
C G D7 G
THE SUN RISING IN THE SKY SO CLEAR
D7 C G
THEN PATRICK TURNED TO RUN, SURGEON PLUGGED HIM WITH HIS GUN,
D7 G D7 G
I TOLD YOU I’D TEAR YOU A NEW EAR HE CRIED
C G D7 G
I TOLD YOU I’D TEAR YOU A NEW EAR
THEN PATRICK SPRUNG UP, GRABBED HIS BANJO FROM THE GROUND
WHILE HE HELD THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD
SAY THAT AGAIN, THATS A BEAUTIFUL SOUND
I HEARD JUST WHAT YOU SAID, HE CRIED
I HEARD JUST WHAT YOU SAID
NOW PATRICK AND THE SURGEON THEYARE THE BEST OF FRIENDS
THEY SIT AROUND SHARING A BREW.
I’M ENJOYING EVERY SOUND, BUT IF YOU EVER TURN AROUND
I’LL TEAR YOU A NEW ONE TOO HE CRIED
I’LL TEAR YOU A NEW ONE TOO

That looks like it really hurts.

I think I’m gonna call you Neo from now on…

Further Thoughts:
Remember to install the software drivers before plugging the USB cable in.
—————————-
If you sneeze does it whistle?
——————-
Plug it into the 220 volt line and see what happens.
——————————
Replace the battery. The little LED isn’t flashing.
———————————
Don’t move I think I can get that bullet out.
———————————————
OK, I see where it went in. Now where did it come out?
—————-
Why would you want to put a webcam there?

Silly place to mount your amp but it’s your head.
My prayers are with you, Bro-man.

Let’s hope it is something like what my old boss used to say about me “No he isn’t much to look at but he works well”. And glasses really don’t make anyone look smarter: that is just what kids are told to get them to wear their glasses.
