In Deepest Sorrow....

[Rockitz]

All,

It is with great sorrow that I announce the passing of my appendix this past Wednesday evening at roughly 6 o'clock. We enjoyed many adventures together. It was my one and only appendix. It will be missed. Sniff....Sniff....

A private ceremony was held on Thursday morning in the pathologist's laboratory.

Please send your condolences to my surviving organs at the above address. The survivors request that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to "Rockitz' Appendix Fund." One in six people will lose their appendix sometime during their life. Only you can prevent the loss of this misunderstood organ with no apparent redeeming value.

Thanks for your concerns,

Rockitz

DISCLOSURE: The mission of Rockitz' Appendix Fund is purely to benefit Rockitz and promote the prevention of appendix loss and enhance the lives of all affected by appendicitis, especially Rockitz. Rockitz' Appendix Fund was established in 2002 to address Rockitz' specific needs for entertainment dollars during his recovery and serves as the national representative of the sole chapter in Marina del Rey, CA. Rockitz' Appendix Fund efforts benefit only Rockitz. Your donations are not tax deductible.

I have a bladder you can borrow if you need one.

Thanks but I drink a gallon of water a day so mine is in pretty good shape. Scotch contributions accepted, however.

You can have Oregon. Lovely state, sucky politics...

I'm all out of appendixes, but I've got an extra gizzard
I can send you. Good thing I saw this before I boiled it for my dog.

It'll be about five days by UPS. Try to hold on.

Happy thanksgiving.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Hey, cheer up! It could be worse! warning - descriptive language

[Rockitz]

If it's a series and I keep on losing organs, I could be in trouble.

[catpuppy]

Stop kidneying around.

[wardaddy]

G-d bless your unfortunate appendix.....yer gall bladder had better sleep with one eye open.

[VoiceOfBruck]

I had my appendix out six years ago. I gained the weight right back, however.

[Libertina]

Parting is such sweet sorrow... ;)

[Rockitz]

Start your own fund. This is my ticket to wealth, fame, nirvana, and all that other stuff.

It is with great sorrow that I announce the passing of my appendix...

More painful than a kidney stone?

[Bella_Bru]

I still have mine. Got my tonsils too. Need any spare parts? I got 'em!

[null and void]

Hmmmm, San Diego? Did Heaven's Gate miss one? (two?)

[Rockitz]

This is the best comeback I've gotten from my e-mail buddies.

"I have decided to limit my donations to people who have lost their index or table of contents as opposed to those who have lost their appendix. Sorry."

[null and void]

Sure - be selfish!!!

[DeFault User]

Appendix....does that qualify as giblets? Boil it, chop it and throw it in the stuffing.

[Rockitz]

Stop kidneying around.

But, I KNEEd your support.

[null and void]

Send me his addy, I've had projectile vomiting and lost my table contents.

Oh! Table of Contents

nevermind...

It's your ticket to Nirvana?

I thought they broke up after Cobain offed himself, and then the drummer went and fronted a band called Foo Fighters, playing guitar, and writing better songs, much better.

[TxBec]

Hey, I lost mine too! (and my gallbladder..) .. Darndest thing.. still haven't found em..

[toddst]

Start your own fund. This is my ticket to wealth, fame, nirvana, and all that other stuff.

Glad to be alive, huh? Them appendix thingies can be scary business - sneak right up on you. Mine was fifteen minutes or so away from blowing open, according to the Doc. Whew! Don't mind the scar one bit.

Congratulations on sticking around awhile longer!

[Bella_Bru]

Happy Turkey Day, sweetie!!!!

If you don't find your parts, I'll see if mine want to move. ;:-P

[Rockitz]

Read post #6. Why do you think I drink so damn much water? I hope to never find out.

[EggsAckley]

I have a tail...............

[Spunky]

Please send your condolences to my surviving organs at the above address

I send my condolences to your BRAIN because I think you have lost it.;-)

[spodefly]

I am sorry for your loss. You are no doubt familiar with the statistics on Appendix loss. For example, did you know that over 75% of people that have their appendix removed die within 50 years.

[Rockitz]

Appendix....does that qualify as giblets? Boil it, chop it and throw it in the stuffing.

I asked the surgeon for the spare part, but she said it had to go to pathology for analysis. I asked her how I knew she took it out. She smiled and said, "You don't."

Doctors...worse than auto mechanics.

[WIladyconservative]

I'll see your appendix and raise you a uterus . . .

[Rockitz]

Don't mind the scar one bit.

I do. There goes my shot at the Men's Health cover.

[anniegetyourgun]

ROFL....that's spleen-spliting!

[Rockitz]

For example, did you know that over 75% of people that have their appendix removed die within 50 years.

Big deal. I live in LA- 75% of people born here, die within 50 years.

[NRA2BFree]

Sorry to learn of your loss. I will give you an ovary and you can have a plastic surgeon turn it into an appendix. lol

[Rockitz]

I'll see your appendix and raise you a uterus . . .

Another thing to thankful for today. I never had one to lose.

LOL!! Great comeback. :-)

Why did you have to spoil a good thread by posting Carville's picture in # 24?

Leni

[Rockitz]

Any of those would be an acceptable donation. ;oP Thanks!

Lies, damn lies and Statistics! ;^)

[lilylangtree]

As one who lost hers at fifteen on my brother's high school graduation day where I was part of the choir singing "In the Garden," I can sympathize greatly about the demise of your gone but not forgotten organ of no redeeming value. Let me assure you that through passage of time the loss of this tissue will fade, although never truly be forgotten. The outward scar will fade but its mark will remind you of the pain you endured to have this small but insignificant piece of your DNA removed. You may be assured that through its removal the organ has gone to a better place free of the entanglements of its own world, thus leaving you with a better pain-free life.

[Fiddlstix]

So sorry about your loss......
(Well you use some of the money for a memorial)
(Just asking......)

Happy Thanksgiving

[liberateUS]

Mine burst. Made it much worse.

[Rockitz]

What a beautiful tribute! I think I'm gonna cry.

Well then you have nothing to worry about!
