Parts is Parts and Beer Bellies

Found this on Youtube – it’s a classic.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTzLVIc-O5E&p=A7DDBB7DEFD5A4E8&playnext=1&index=25

Now that you’ve watched that and have Chicken Breast Parts is Parts on the brain (for some time to come I am sure), take note below.

** Warning **

(The link below may not be for everyone – not kidding.)

Personally, I’ve seen too much, both online (hazards of being in IT Security) and in life (jury duty on double homicide / insanity trial) to have much of a filter any more – so some may find the product described in this link disturbing. But being the techno-geek that I am (Tracy’s a closet geekette – she just won’t admit it) I am fascinated with the technology used as being the ultimate in “parts” recycling… The product is used as part of the reconstruction process used after they – uh – remove other parts.

Alternatives to using this type of product are both painful, and somewhat debilitating. There is one procedure – called a TRAM flap, which if done from the tummy area, sometimes has a rather peculiar side-effect. You know how when you put on weight, that your tummy area sort of gets larger quicker (sometimes much larger) than the rest of you? Well – if that area is used as part of a reconstruction, then – it sort of will grow too if you retain too many calories. What happens though is that you sort of end up with a second beer belly – only it’s not in your belly area – it’s up north a tad and off to one side or the other a bit.. Keep in mind that one of our (Tracy’s actually) surgeons didn’t actually use the phrase "Beer Belly Boob" – but that’s the first thought that came to my somewhat twisted sensibility.

Again – in all seriousness – if you think you might be saddened by visiting this link, please don’t. If you think it will offend you – and depending on who you are (there’s only one or two of you I think) – I sincerely apologize in advance – but you should really read the product material in the context of what it is used for and why.

For the rest of you – suck it up and click the link. It’s a safe link – as far as you know.
