Slowed By A Pain In The Neck
By Billy Cox

You have to use your fingers to pry apart your cracked lips and
force the plastic bit between your teeth, after which you
wriggle your neck into the headrest so the radtech can snap the
restraining mask into place. The mask is a snug custom fit of
plastic mesh, a 3-D grid-pattern of your head and shoulders in a
cyborg profile. Eight crisp clicks and you're good to go.

It gets chilly in the tube so they wrap you in blankets before
they ease the slab into the ovoid radiation chamber. There's not
much to look at inside, really, just a grainy thin line of
emerald light suspended in the concave ceiling. The background
noise is largely atmospheric, like the drone of a vacuum cleaner
in another room.

The radiation springs into action on a one-two one-two cadence
evoking a mildly amplified set of rusty scissors or maybe a
junkyard percussion instrument crafted for a cut-rate sweat
lodge initiation ritual. It makes 20-some rotations around your
head for six minutes and then, boom, that's it - they pull you
from the oven and you're done 'til tomorrow.

They don't measure radiation dosage in rads or roentgens or rem
around here; these days, they call it centigrade. The experts
have decided it'll take 200 centigrades each day for six weeks
to blast king hell out of whatever cervical lymph node cancer
cells may have eluded the surgeon's knife. The crud doesn't
appear to have spread. But the docs don't know the primary
source. So they're calling this an insurance policy.

The insurance policy is fortified by weekly injections of
monoclonal antibodies, a cocktail called Erbitux, which
supposedly lacks the toxicity of traditional chemotherapies. In
terms of pain, the combination is like Silicon Valley meets
Torquemada - sophisticated and painless on the front end; on the
back end, just another wrung-out rat in a cage, willing to
confess and convert.

The throat cavity begins to ulcerate almost immediately, and
halfway through the Erbitux, the oncologist is so disgusted and
horrified he suspends treatment. His patient's face looks like
John 'The Elephant Man' Merrick, only purple, like it should be
wrestled into a canvas sack, clubbed into submission and hustled
off to a Midway barker's tent. Nightly efforts with a soft-
bristled toothbrush generate a vile broth, and the gullet is so
scorched it could cough blood and fire and burn half of Tokyo.

And oh - constipation. The other night, in a mind-blowing scene
that re-wrote the books on proportion, something the size and
density of a human kneebone materialized in the basin. Had I not
been too busy weeping and groaning, I would've alerted the FBI
to having discovered the remains of Jimmy Hoffa.

Hello? Is this microphone working? Don't leave yet, folks, Jerry
Seinfeld's on deck. OK, look. This isn't an entirely gratuitous
rant because De Void has received several e-mails wondering if
I've finally wimped out on UFOs like everybody else. The answer
is no. Not yet. There are merely distractions.

In fact, the timing of being sidelined couldn't be worse,
because De Void had planned to go to Israel this week and file
live reports on International Orgasm Day, a world-peace
experiment being sponsored by the Raelian UFO movement. You
remember those guys - in 2002, they held a press conference to
announce they'd cloned a human being, but they never produced
the kid.

Anyhow, according to:

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3642845,00.html

International Orgasm Day got canceled at the last minute in Tel
Aviv because the sex-venue owner was getting too many threats.
Maybe he'll play it safe next year and get into weapons
production.

There's not much to add at this point. Except the obvious: Merry
Christmas.
