Yes, it's a girl band, and yes it's Korean, but it's damn catchy. Others must agree since it's gotten 1.1 million views in less than 2 days. Plus I love Asian girls, and they are all hot and have good voices.

Fun fun fun! I'm off to the ER. After more research and thinking, I'm quite sure I have a stomach ulcer, which is bleeding. I have been pooping tar (blood that has been broken down by bacteria, originating from the upper GI tract) for the last day or so. Quite sure it's from taking Aleve (an NSAID, which causes bleeding ulcers) for several weeks straight. So not my hernia and bowels at all, another GI problem!!!
Called my mom to see if she wanted to run mommy duty and drive me there, and apparently she has already been at the hospital all day with my step dad who is about to kick the bucket from liver failure (alcoholic). So she will be going between her dying husband and me. Yay for endoscopy and at least an overnight stay in the hospital!

Sucks man, hope it's not as bad as you think.

Most people with appendicitis have classic symptoms that a doctor can easily identify. The main symptom of appendicitis is abdominal pain.
The abdominal pain usually
* occurs suddenly, often causing a person to wake up at night
* occurs before other symptoms
* begins near the belly button and then moves lower and to the right
* is new and unlike any pain felt before
* gets worse in a matter of hours
* gets worse when moving around, taking deep breaths, coughing, or sneezing
Other symptoms of appendicitis may include
* loss of appetite
* nausea
* vomiting
* constipation or diarrhea
* inability to pass gas
* a low-grade fever that follows other symptoms
* abdominal swelling
* the feeling that passing stool will relieve discomfort
Symptoms vary and can mimic other sources of abdominal pain, including
* intestinal obstruction
* inflammatory bowel disease
* pelvic inflammatory disease and other gynecological disorders
* intestinal adhesions
* constipation

Random observation, American English is sure to be the eventual primary English (like if all english speaking people were thrown together) dialect because it's the easiest, and requires the least amount of effort/movement. Speaking with a British accent, I notice a lot of extra movement. American English, like many other American things, is a lazy dialect.
One thing to consider though, in other parts of the world where English is taught as a second language, it's taught as UK English.

How bad does my cylinder head look? I need to put it back on today.

didn't want to start a thread for this, so I'll ask here. Anyone know if I can just remove this bracket? It was on the same bigass bracket with the coal canister I removed so I just bolted this bracket back down for now. The vacuum hose goes to something behind/under the intake manifold and the plug I have no idea what it's for but it has a mitsubishi logo on it. I just want to clean **** up in the bay, and these gray hoses are ugly as ****.

Just got home, so clearly not what I thought it was. I guess that is why I am not a doctor making big money, my diagnosing skills are weak. After a nice finger up the ***, pounding some barium shots, intravenous hydration and a ride through a time machine (sounds like a good time!) I find out it's what I first thought it was Monday, return of the kidney stone! Sucks, but it's just a little pain to deal with, much better than dealing with internal bleeding. I guess I miss diagnosed my bloody stool too, could have been some of the nasty **** I eat, or the fact that it stayed in me so long as to why it looked like dark brown/black sludge. Some 7.5/500 Percocet and I'm good to go. I may actually enjoy work tonight, lol

I might cry for me tonight too. My first time hurt MUCH worse, but fortunately it was only like kidney sand, so it flushed through my system within 9-12 hours, and I had no big, jagged sharp rock to **** out. I was literally laying in the floor moaning and in tears, to the point of nearly fainting several times and my pain threshold is fairly high. This time isn't as bad (if last time was a 10 on the scale, this time is maybe a 7), but I have what the doctor called a medium size stone that may or may not pass, I just have to stay hydrated and wait. I have to make an appointment early next week to see a urologist, which will hopefully be a follow up and this thing will be out by then. He said it looked about half way on it's journey. I guess cutting grapefruit juice from my diet wasn't enough. I'll have to research more and cut all of that **** out. My diet or choice of foods I can eat is becoming pretty damn pitiful with hernia related constipation and now what is apparently issues with kidneys of a 90 year old woman. Oh the days I used to eat and drink anything I wanted without punishment.
