in Cancer Sucks

Hey, Clusterfookers, Avitable here. As you know Lisa starts round 2 of Chemo today, so she’s gotten a slate of guest posters to help out for a bit.

And the best way that I can think to help is the typical Internet way - offer useless, unsolicited advice like I’m an expert! Without further ado, here are the top five things Lisa can do for fun and games as someone with no hair:

Just happen to sneak a peek because I woke up in the middle of the night. I think this is the best post ever on this blog. At least one that I will treasure.

I needed the giggles at 2:00 AM to calm the nerves before surgery…and then chemo. It will be quite a day!

You are the best Avi!

Thanks every one for your support. You guys rock!

Hi Lisa!

First time reader here, sent over by Avitable. I just wanted to say that I think you are absolutely amazing! You are incredibly brave and so beautiful. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers as you fight this battle again. Your spirit is inspirational! :)

Adam - that was hilarious. I’m still giggling over the mini-Avitable handing over the $5. Classic!

Bwahahahaha. Man, if I were Lisa I would laugh my ass off and then stab you in the forehead with a fork.. and then laugh more. Aren’t you glad I’m not Lisa?

Lisa, dude, my thoughts are totally with you.

BBM, infamous, maybe.

Judy, good thoughts always help!

Suebob, I’m like a guru!

Karen, wait, what about my nuts?

Mike, I keep meaning to thank you for the Puppy Monster graphic you did. So, thank you!

Sarah, she’ll be singing Sinead O’Connor in no time.

Willie G, who, moi?

BE Earl, I’m like the next Jackson Pollock!

Honeybell, cool. Can I charge royalties?

Poppy, you’ve always been my biggest fan!

Tracy, she’s a fighter.

Amanda, you haven’t seen that many penises, have you?

That Girl, well, the nudity is just for fun.

Deppfan, that’s all I was hoping!

Dave, remember? I told you to draw a line down the center of your head and tell people you’re just a dick.

Karl, I’m sure she’ll rock out with her cock out!

Lisa, yay! I’m glad you liked them.

Amber, mini-Avitable needs good luck, too.

Pandora, that would be hilarious, wouldn’t it?

AmyD, no stabby!

Iron Fist, that’s the one that would be the most fun to witness, too.

Dan, you can already pay Bruce $5 to rub his head for good luck.

DaisyJo, I have a doctorate in stick figure art.

Britt, why do you have to be hating on the Krishnas?

Dick, exactly - after me, it’s just a piece of cake.

Bucky, let’s see how your oral sex sklls are before I can tell you I love you too.

Fernanda, cute? It’s supposed to be perverted!

Fantastagirl, or something indeed!

Dawn, wait - is there such a thing?

Hallie, you and your weiners.

ADW, don’t you have a dress like that?

Blondefabulous, I’m a strong believer in laughter solving everything.

Kate, I wish!

Christine, thanks!

NYCWD, I knew it.

BTDT, when Lisa says “fuck cancer”, she means it!

Manager Mom, that’s another brilliant idea!

Jay, mainly because you’re a closet Sinead fan, eh?

Winter, I’m dressed!

Andria, thanks.

Gwen, my art might actually cause illness, though.

Robin, I like to rub mine a lot.

Finn, well, topless, at least.

CMG, you love the Krishnas, don’t you? :)

MrsRobbieD, that’s awesome and very thoughtful!

BTW…my hairdresser was telling me today that my hair was doing a little better (as far as breakage and damage) She was asking me how much hair I have been losing during washings, non-washing, blah blah blah…her next client is sitting and patiently waiting for her to finish with me and announces out loud….”Oh you have such beautiful thick hair!”….

my hairdresser and I just gave each other a wink

If only she knew……..but I enjoyed the compliment none the less….
