   Wow. …a picture’s worth a thousand words… or maybe 1000 grams, as the NPR story notes… Amazing. As BN said, he’s lucky to be alive… maybe… depending on his fate…

   (From a nursing perspective, the photos are great… )

   This gives new meaning to gastrointestinal fortitude.

   The wee people are forced to do these things, in a manner of speaking, to survive in the plutonomy.

   The wee people living in the glens like a boll weevil is becoming the Irish thing everywhere.

   OMG! I’ve only seen images that skin-crawly in low budget horror movies. That’s playing Russian roulette with 72 bullets in the clip. As others observed, he’s lucky to be alive.

    Reminds me of the movie about drug mules, “Maria Full of Grace”.

    I am glad I just found this site.
12. 12 Darby 1, September 16, 2011 at 5:31 pm

    Oh, I just loved Maria Under Grace. Was’t she pregnant and a mule?
13. 13 Darby 1, September 16, 2011 at 5:38 pm

    Darby,

    Welcome.

    “Oh, I just loved Maria Under Grace. Was’t she pregnant and a mule?”

    Better than being pregnant by a mule in some places but not in others.

    A wee bit of pregnancy and other blarney is our lot in life these daze.

    Gotta love Woosty.

    Those little red baggies are all the way up into the lung area. How is that even possible? Is there a doctor here who can explain this?

    “The man is identified only as P.B.B.” I’ll bet that stands for Pablo Big Belly.

    “The man is identified only as P.B.B.” I’ll bet that stands for Pablo Big Belly

    or ‘poisoned beyond belief’

    Yikes! That is one “hungry” Irishman!
22. 22 Gene H. 1, September 16, 2011 at 9:24 pm

    This episode really does change the meaning of the phrase “full of blarney”.
23. 23 rafflaw 1, September 16, 2011 at 11:07 pm

    Very good Gene!
24. 24 pete 1, September 17, 2011 at 1:31 am

    the expression “bust a gut” comes to mind
25. 25 seamus 1, September 18, 2011 at 12:55 am

    HenMan, I was thinking the same thing. It doesn’t seem anitomicallt possible.
