Thanks muchly
Now if the pain subsides from friday's tarzan antics, I may be able to enjoy it a bit. Aft neck and shoulder muscles are strained and in lots of pain. Thank goodness I've got a stash of topical ibuprofen I dragged home from France. It is magic. I wonder why it isn't sold in the US. No pharmacist I've phoned has even heard of it - either OTC or as prescription.
We posture as apostles of fair play, as good sportsmen, as professional knights-errant-- and we throw beer bottles at the umpire when he refuses to cheat for our side...We save the black-and-tan republics from their native [statesmen]--and flood them with "deserving" democrats of our own. We deafen the world with our whoops for liberty--and submit to laws that destroy our most sacred rights...We play policeman and Sunday-school superintendent to half of Christendom--and lynch a darky every two days in our own backyard.
H.L. Mencken, 1914
