Incidentally, you should never argue with the colo-rectal surgical team, unless you want your a*se handed to you.

Having had this procedure twice, I can vouch for the effectiveness of Moviprep - dramatic.

I too must add a note in praise of colo-rectal surgeons. But for the actions of one three years ago, I would no longer be posting.

As an aside, I continue to devolve into "Grunpy old man"© I recall a rare instance of me writing to Aunty Beeb some years ago. One of my pet hates is perfectly articulate British brat bands attempting to sound like the Everly Brothers. I have been known to walk out of a gig where the band snarls its way through "Baah, baah, Miss American Pah" and "Here's to you Mrs Rabbinson". Even worse is the breathy faux American "Ah! am gonna flah! To your sahd, tonaht".

However, the gist of my complaint to Aunty was "For God's sake, it's pronounced EYES! I object to being exhorted several times on my drive to work to 'Open your a*se'!"

Having had to do so several times over the last three years as the colo-rectal team check for regrowth (so far, so good, and my stoma is due to be reconnected in the near future), my objection still stands.

I've every reason to be grateful to colectoral surgeons.

Thankfully, I'm doing fine. Otherwise, I'd have found the last few posts a little upsetting. I hope no-one else is!

Anyway, it's not as "mucky" a job as you'd think as patients usually have preparation first e.g. Moviprep, Picolax or similar to clean out the bowel.

Wasn't there a rock band called Anal Leakage, or was that a Dave Barry suggestion?

John Dengate's song, Rectal Bleeding Clypso, was posted some years ago to https://mudcat.org/detail_pf.cfm?messages__Message_ID=1133570&messages__Message_ID=1133570

time to expand this thread in another direction; I was surprised to find the following titles on youtube: [note use of both semi-colon and full colon]
As luck would have it, the performances are in folk and country vein rather than rock/pop/jazz

The Colonoscopy Song, sung by Peter Yarrow

THE COLORECTAL SURGEON SONG (Working Where the Sun Don't Shine)
Words and Music © George Bowser and Rick Blue (Bowser and Blue) SOCAN

We praise the colorectal surgeon
Misunderstood and much maligned
Slaving away in the heart of darkness
Working where the sun don't shine
Respect the colorectal surgeon
It's a calling few would crave
Lift up your hands and join us
Let's all do the finger wave

When it comes to spreading joy
There are many techniques
Some spread joy to the world
Others just spread cheeks
Some may think the cardiologist
Is their best friend
But the colorectal surgeon knows
He'll get you in the end

Why be a colorectal surgeon?
It's one of those mysterious things
Is it because, in that profession
There are always openings?
When I first met a colorectal surgeon
He did not quite understand
I said, "hey - it's nice to meet you
But, do you mind if we don't shake hands?"

He sailed right through medical school
Because he was a whiz
But he never thought of psychology
When he read "Passages"
A doctor he wanted to be
For golf he loved to play;
But this is not quite what he meant
By eighteen holes a day

Respect the colorectal surgeon
Here and now we'll raise a glass
For the rectal surgeon, like the rectum
Can tell a liquid from a gas
We praise the colorectal surgeon
Misunderstood and much maligned
Slaving away in the heart of darkness
Working where the sun don't shine

I also sampled the Bowel Preparation Shuffle but it isn't folky
nor is Colonoscopy Parody Song and Colonoscopy It's Not That Bad

'Tain't semicolons, neither. Is there anybody who's had the problem who can figure out what they did that made their thread title truncate?
This thread is one that had problems.

The 'Cat seems to be eating thread titles that have punctuation in them, making lots of threads titled "Lyrics Request" that infuriate many of us so much. I suspect the culprit may be colons in the thread title. Then again, it might be more likely to be semicolons, which have a more common function in HTML. Let's see what happens.
Max & Mike, please take note of this problem. Also note that the 'Cat also still doesn't seem to like certain characters, like those curly quotation marks in documents copy-and-pasted from word processors.
