079. Diagnosis

[vicodincrutch]

An over exposure to steam, like say a sauna or for most recent event relevance a steam engine, will reduce sperm count for one to five weeks. Contribute that to the no-brainer lung deficiencies. The more you know.

I'm curious to know what an ipod looked like with that technological slant. A gramophone the size of a brick?

You can borrow this. Don't get too attached. It's festive and might save you explaining time. Unless you want a crutchpurse.

Fine. If you come to work and they match you're the one who will have to change it. I'm not.

They won't match because I'm not going to be using a cane.

Yeah.

I know.

You'll be around to clean it, right?

I wouldn't make anyone else do it.

Good. Because I don't accept substitutions. Except for maybe Cameron. Sssh.

I won't tell her if you don't.

Not a soul.

Good.

Sounds like a cheap birth control.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Dickens tested and approved.

[thenormalsquint]

Charles did a lot for the reproductive community. He should have gotten a medal.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Or the chair.

I've seen enough adaptations of his work. It's all overrated.

[spiritofsorrow.livejournal.com]

An ipod? I don't know what that is, but my radio certainly turned into something archaic-looking.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

More archaic than a radio?

[spiritofsorrow.livejournal.com]

Oh, it was a radio, but it was definitely too large for me to carry sensibly, with all kinds of tubes and gears and parts sprawling out like an inventor's first prototype. I still don't understand the concept of a steam-powered screen.

Somehow I doubt it's the City's form of population control.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Assuming there is any to begin with.

[as_damaged]

It seems they rely on sending people home at random.

[had_not_lived]

What's an ip-od?

[Voice]

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Eye. Pod.

Something that people your age cannot live or function without.

[Voice]

[had_not_lived]

What does it do?

[dr_conscience]

Actually, it was considerably bigger than a brick.

Thus rendering it useless.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Bigger? Was it record player size? That was portable. Portable enough.

[dr_conscience]

The idea of an iPod is that you can put it in a pocket. It was significantly bigger than any pocket.

And besides the thing itself, it had some sort of extra compartment with a steam engine in it. I think there was a harness of some sort involved.

Thank you, House, for setting off a City wide panic. As if we don't get enough hypochondriacs in the clinic.

Tell them the number of swimmers doesn't matter at the Olympics. Only the winners.

It would have probably looked like a regular ipod with gears and Victorian design (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mgyYTW2w19c/R8YePOg78mI/AAAAAAAACM0/MfQJuhEAxrE/s400/Steampunk_Ipod___colour_sketch_by_VictorianSteampunk.jpg).

You'd think that it would.

We're going to have to keep our thing on the down low, by the way. Too many snoops in these parts. Good idea on picking out a cover.

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

The machines weren't so much outdated than outrageous versions of modern devices with Victorian touches.

Would I ever tell a soul?
