...Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite. Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance. Everyone is just waiting...

It Was Real.

Arkansas EMS Conference 2008

They say what happens at conference stays at conference, but there are some funny stories behind some of those pictures. And some nice people.

I took my most funniest and fun friend Kim with me to EMS Conference and we laughed so hard it is amazing we weren't kicked out of a few classes.

We also went to one of the old restored bath houses and learned all kinds of words that have, sadly, fallen out of style. Allow me to share a few with you:

Vitiate tr. verb 1 To impair the use or value of; debase; contaminate. 2 To render defective; impair or destroy; render inefficacious. --Vitiable adj --Vitiation noun --Viator noun.

Morbific adj. Producing disease. Also --Morbifical. --Morbifically adv.

Enfeeble tr. adv. To render feeble. See synonyms under impair. --Enfeeblement noun --Enfeebler. noun


Friends, we must take back these words. I charge you, dear Readers, with the task of working them into everyday conversation as soon as possible. Like so:

Tragically, Reinier was enfeebled by scanty fluid intake and excessive dysentery.

That suction canister once so shiny and clean, all else I notice not, nor vomitus in man's beard, nor code brown, nor odors morbific disgust me,
But the suction canister alone - that thick mucus - that green and streaked with bloody sputum - that ruin!

We debauched the young virgin fireman with wine and dancing.
