    It's not bad enough that Kanye West tweeted that he's $53 million in debt and to "pray he overcomes". This alone is to make one want to throw up.

    But to further induce nausea, some dillweed started a gofund me page to actually try to help him.

    This jackwad is the definition of someone who just needs to go away

    So today I go to the local SA to get gas, a newspaper and a red G2 and a purple G2. While the pump is running I sit in the truck and I see a guy come out of the store in bow hunting boots, the camo UA hoody and the backwards hat. I think to myself but it's a wet rainy day so I blow it off finish pumping go in and what do I see another idiot it's 35 degrees raining and chuckle head is hanging by the register talking to his buddy and he is wearing shorts and flip flops. I go back to the cooler and they are out of red G2. Needless to say I am a little on edge this morning.

    I've got a good one for you guys...so my wife and I decided we are both very happily done having kids. We have a healthy girl and a healthy boy. So I started looking into getting a vasectomy to save the world and my checkbook from another little Spear. After checking with my work's health insurance, I found that it's not covered, at all. Meh, ok, annoying but it's an elective so I get it. Here's the real kick in the pants, gender reassignment surgery is on our plan. I'm not sure what percentage is covered but I was beyond fuming. Yep, this is the world we live in. I did laugh though because technically gender reassignment accomplishes the same thing.

    Well Spear when you are laying on the table with a freshly shorn scrotem and your junk taped to your stomach shot up with valium think holy crap I am paying full price for this.

    I had the same thing happen, best $500 i ever spent. I could have done the same thing and gotten boobs for cheaper than getting fixed and having another kid on their insurance plan. It seems to me that they would want you do that and not have anymore kids but i quit trying to understand insurance companies a long time ago. Words of wisdom, switch between frozen peas and frozen corn and have a bottle of Crown ready in case it takes a while for the pain medication to get picked up.

    Also wear headphones hearing the snips can be a little unnerving.

    The snips didn't bother me, the smell and the smoke from them cauterizing did however

    Seems like insurance would rather pay for the rather inexpensive elective surgery than all the money required for a birth.

    I had them put me under. Expensive, but cheaper than another kid.

    When I went in to talk to the doctor with my wife to go over the procedure he said they used novacaine to numb the area. I have never had novacaine work at the dentist and I wasn't taking any chances. I said no way and walked the F out. They ended up putting me under.

    When my husband had the procedure done, they used a local. He said the sizzling and smoke curling up was interesting.

    My old insurance considered any surgical procedure that didn't require a hospital stay as an elective. Which is why I didn't have my shoulder fixed.

    I'm not sure how I'd react to the sight, smell, and sound of having my nugget cordage being snipped and soldered but I haven't been to a doctor in almost 8 years so I'm ever so slowly looking into it. I'm not at all squeemish when it comes to blood and surgery so I'm not sure if I'd prefer to watch or go under. I definitely have something to think about.

    Follow the guidelines they give. I knew a family that didn't wait long enough after having it done and they ended up with their second set of twins. to go from a family of 2 to 4, and then a family of 4 to 6 would probably kill me

    Good move. It didn't work for me and I still get the sweats just thinking about how much it hurt. Incredible pain. I am pretty sure I would let you pull my toenails out with a pliers before I would go through that again. Good times.

    Rant - people who abused sponsors. Not literally - but took the money and didn't fulfill what they said they would.

    Now, trying to get someone to sponsor a racecar is extremely difficult.


    Anyone here want to?! ;)

    I was told ripping the tape off of your member stuck to your stomach hurt the most out of the whole procedure. I'm going to go in pre-wrapped with bubble wrap, it should get a good laugh.

    Make sure they shoot you up with valium, it's the best part.

    What are the obligations to a sponsor?
