Blood in the Afternoon

[phosfate]

...so I'm home with (er, sorry) Unbelievably Painful Menstrual Cramps[TM], and all I've been able to think about all day is that it's a good thing that men don't menstruate. Because there would be an entire volume of friggin' Hemingway short stories detailing the purifying masculine nobility that is the cyclical exposure to blood and agonizing pain. Set in Spain, of course. Nobody needs that kind of bullshit.

Go with God, my friends.
