Ron Pettichord has a heart condition in which he needs surgery to repair an enlarged aorta. The surgery is common and has a high survival rate, but there’s a danger of the aorta bursting at any time, like with an aneurysm. Get this patient a room, stat! Call George Clooney! Have you scrubbed up? With luck, we can have him in surgery by 6:15 tonight. My God, you haven’t scrubbed up yet? Nurse! I need … what? He wants to postpone? From the Portland Oregonian:
The Ducks kick off against Auburn in the BCS national championship on Jan 10, the same day as Ron’s open-heart surgery.
His daughter, Pam Pettichord Tishendorf, offered to record the game for him, so Ron responded the way most of us would: by postponing surgery.
“I’m not a die-hard Duck, believe it or not,” said Pettichord, 69. “I grew up remembering (Oregon State’s) Tommy Prothro and Joe Francis and the single-wing. I like both teams. Whoever’s winning, I like.”
Tickets in the Defibrillator Section? Right this way, sir.

Some people see a goalkeeper making a save with his heel, and ask why. Hamza Boudlal sees that and asks, why not? Um, I don’t have that answer. I just know that at first, the KACM Marrakech keeper seems to want to block the ball with his hands, then decides — in mid-air, mind you…

This never would have happened if Dumbledore were still alive. Come to think of it, why shouldn’t there be hockey in Britain? It’s cold enough, and the English like oversized mittens. It’s just that one never tends to picture them skating, unless it’s an engraving in a Dickens novel. But look; they do play hockey.…
