“Weird” is too mild a word. Honestly, you have no idea. But I have slipped into a gray aphasia on the whole thing.
I want to write about it. I cannot find the words.
I am numb today.
Let’s just talk about the coccyx some more.

Let’s just talk about the coccyx some more.
Well, a little Googling learns me that the coccyx is actually just the very tip of the very arrow-head looking end of the spine. The majority of the arrow head is called the sacrum.
Coccyx would make a great Scrabble word but there’s only two C’s in the game.
Hahahahahaha, you guys. I appreciate how you’re talking around the elephant in the room.
You’re the best.
Hahahahaha.
/The majority of the arrow head is called the sacrum./
This is invaluable information.
Also, Brian, the Scrabble point is good to know.
The coccyx is believed to be the vestigial remains of a tail (I think I learned that from “Jeopardy” or “Cash Cab”). Wouldn’t it be cool though to have a tail?…
I’d prefer it to be prehensile, but a short tail like a Jack Russell terrier would still be nice as it could protect your butt crack by tucking it in when you, say slip on the ice and fall backwards.
… but definitely not a long none prehensile tail which would telegraph to any girl when I was excited to see her by wagging uncontrollably… or when I was embarrassed or caught in a lie by tucking the tail between my legs.
Oh, and don’t EVEN get me started on those stupid tails of “The Littles” which really served NO purpose (and let’s face it, were a ripoff of The Barrowers)
uh, that was supposed to be “non-prehensile tail”
You’d need one of the blanks and then you could play “coccyx.” That’s 21 points before you figure in special squares and any other words formed. “Sacrum,” on the other hand, is just ten (I think).
good call NF I forgot about the blank.
HAhahahahaha. We are now talking Scrabble.
Thank you.
I would have mentioned the blank if I’d seen it before nightfly. Just so you know!
NF and Cullen, you should play Scrabble with me on FB. Not you, tracey, until you give in!
I’m not much of a Facebook gamer, but as long as I can play at my leisure and I’m not tied to playing in a certain time frame, I can commit.
Ooh–what about “sacroiliac”? I used to know somebody who said that’s the part of the back that bothered her.
(Don’t mind me, I’m just taking notes for the cutthroat family Scrabble game/throwdown this weekend.)
P.S. Sorry church is so weird.
church is worth 16 points without any special squares so coccyx is still the winner at 21. Sorry sacrum you’re still 3rd.
FYI — “Quinsy” is a peritonsillar abscess.
What is that? 18 points??
Please more talk about abscesses and coccyges.
JFH — Now all I’m thinking about is Jason Alexander (George from Seinfeld) and his little tail in “Shallow Hal.”
KateyP: I have had issues with my sacroiliac joint before. It’s part back, part hip. As part of my ongoing problems with herniated discs, my sacroiliac joint became inflamed.
Cullen–that sounds painful! 🙁
My friend broke her coccyx once. She slid on the stairs at work that the prisoners forgot to de-ice and shattered her sacrum/coccyx in three places.
You actually CAN get workers’ comp for a broken a**.
The more you know. . .
Ah, the sacroilium. It’s apparently why I have to have massages.
A church that had compassion and understanding towards the flock’s coccyxial issues would be a definite keeper.
