If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

Hi Rumble,
I think I shall be dripping sweat on the floor.
It has been a long itme since my last back injection. My shoulders hurt like a son of a gun, 12 guage buck...
But I also have some fusing, so I am confused as to why they can't see these things in the X-Ray..
I know you are tough...... I on the other hand...... sniff.

Does this look/sound like you??  Polacanthus foxi is an ankylosaur which is not well known, due to the rarity and incompleteness of its remains. It was protected by thick bony plates embedded in its skin, a shield of fused plates covering its pelvis and numerous large spikes on its back and shoulders. http://www.dinosaurisle.com/polacanthus.aspx This would be a great mascot? While the Spondy snowman is cute...this really matches the name. I think my large spikes are pointed in rather than out. Probably ought to get some sleep now.

Lon, I believe you are tougher than I. You've had more practice...having dealt with this disease (whichever they decide you have) for so many years. And you probably thought I was going to rib you for your age.  Wouldn't dream of it.

Smed,
Ah, come on, after raising 3 boys, using field glasses to see the bridges, while laying on your back, volunteering in your community / church, you are man's man.
What scares me, is that he said somthing about drawing the fluid out of a 5 gallon bucket!!!!!
No snow for 2 1/2 weeks....

I try not to use a lot of slang, butt, that one (cripes) just seemed to express the event and the extreme fear that was swelling up within me...
