Last weekend when my friend and I were going to Diva Dash dressed as Thor and Iron Man, she says to me, "Your son doesn't even bat an eye to people walking around in costumes anymore."

Always let him be Thor. ;)

Try not to imagine the several hundred pounds of metal, electronics, and wire spinning several meters per second breaking apart while you are in the machine. Of course, now that you've experienced the sound, you probably have some idea just how much mass is spinning around you.

This is where I feel professionally obligated to point out that MRI machines have virtually no (large scale) moving parts, so if you have a scan coming up, don't freak out about this. You're probably thinking of a CT scanner.

Also, don't freak out about ferromagnetic missiles, since a field strong enough to be used for MRI can't just be turned on and off. The main field is ALWAYS on, so the techs have gotten exceptionally good at preventing anything ferromagnetic from entering the room. If something ferromagnetic does get into the scanner, the main risk is image interference or overheating from RF exposure.

Basically, the only time a missile situation occurs is when someone like the custodial staff brings something they shouldn't into the scan room, like a metal mop handle. Then the fun REALLY gets started.

The noises I heard didn't sound like spinning, instead they sounded like the pulsed energization of coils.

It's because I'm not an Irish redhead. ;)

I do however get freckle-geddon on my face when exposed to the sun for too long.

I'll have you know Hungarian redheads turn lobster, too.

Okay, to be fair on the "redhead oddities", I get freckles everywhere except my face. Or they're hiding under the rosacea. Damn ruddy Irish.

So because America, I had to show ID to buy gold spray paint, because clearly i might buy it to either huff or vandalize something along with the sculpting clay and gold necklace chains I was buying.

But the best part was that the lady checking my ID gave me this extremely skeptical look when she saw that my year of birth was 1980, because apparently I am looking very young today between my geeky tee shirt and my short hair. ;)

I'm still upset about the Sudafed thing.
And I will continue to be upset about it until it is finally repealed.

Well, I mean, your hair isn't JUST short, it's striped multiple colors and has lines shaved into the side. Clearly you're up to no good.

Whatever, ya fetus. More than 1 color = punk kid. Just imagine if your "highlights" were of a non-natural color! That'd have been a double whammy, I'd be surprised if you wouldn't have been arrested on the spot.

Tell her you're preparing to go to Valhalla but you wanted to bling it up a bit.

You're only one year older than me, you don't get to call me a fetus. :p

That's when you go back in with the edible kind, jump on top of her register and start screaming "WITNESS ME!AHAHAHAHA!" as you spray your mouth. That'll teach her.


Yes, I know Emrys beat me to this joke, but I was busy picking up my kid from school, dammit!
