I’m feeling much, much better now and I’m catching up on lots of household chores. The laundry room was very lonely without me over the last week or so. In between loads, I was thinking about some construction terms, medical diagnoses and even some medications that would make really good band names. Why do I fill my brain with this bizarre information? Because it’s fun… share your own, or let me know if these are actual bands!

Frozen Corneas: heard about this on a morning radio show

Tessalon Perles: not only is this fun to say, but it’s my favorite prescription cough suppresant

Quarter-inch drill bits: this is my made-up band name

Hole Hawgs: this is a kind of drill

FDIOS, the dyslexic dogs: not medical or construction, but silly.

Jumping Frenchmen of Maine
Jumping Frenchmen of Maine is a form of the exaggerated startle reflex known as hyperexplexia, so named because it was first observed in French-Canadian lumberjacks in the Moosehead Lake region of Maine in 1878. Sufferers were reported to react abnormally to loud, sudden noises — screaming, flailing, muscle seizures and, most puzzlingly, obeying commands in a reflexive, involuntary manner. For instance, when instructed in a loud, authoritative voice to hit someone, they would do so without question. It’s believed to be a genetic condition caused by a blockage of an amino acid that calms the central nervous system. (Information from http://www.medicalassistants.info)

Stay tuned. I’m heading up another table at the craft social! This time… doodling.
