Contents Of My Stomach

The singer “was a virtual skeleton – barely eating and with only pills in his stomach at the time he died”, the paper said.

Imagine you are a coroner, crappy profession that it already is, your days are filled with horrible, bloody, disgustingly smelling, disfigured things that no one in the right state of mind would even want to be in the same building with, and instead of enjoying a nice sunny LA day you have to dissect a skeleton-looking, hairless, needle-ridden body of a weird celebrity. Not only do you have to chisel off the layers of plaster and artificial prosthetic parts, you for some ungodly reason have to cut his stomach open to see what he was eating before he croaked. It’s in the times like this that you must feel that you should’ve picked another specialty like a podiatrist or a proctologist, albeit their worldview is somewhat constricted.

That’s why I think every person should carry a card at all times with the contents of their stomach for the past 48 hours as a way to make the job of forensic pathologists just a little bit easier.

Let’s see, today my stomach contains:

a cup of coffee
cheese and turkey sandwich
a orange/apricot jelly (from Bermuda) and toast
cherries
persimmon
apple
some frozen yogurt from Yummo (mix of 3 flavors) because they don’t sell Korean tacos on Monday
chicken patty
a piece of dried banana
salad (Caesar dressing)
cheese quesadilla
corn
some lemonade
a piece of Tippins coconut-creme pie

I think that’s it. There maybe some leftovers of this cinnamon roll from Barb’s Kolache Bakery in Shawnee from a couple of days ago
and just a little bit of the cherry kolache ( I gave the other ones away)

but that’s just being too thorough.

See this is not so hard.
Maybe your coroner will be grateful for not having to dig through your rotting guts and will not “leak” embarrassing details of your autopsy to the media. In my book, that’s just paying it forward.

Thank you for only using “before” pictures! Between the roll and the coconut creme pie, I envy your diet.

I doubt there’s any of the cinnamon roll left in your stomach, after two days.

did you ever see that true crime show where they were able to figure out the killer based on the undigested steak fries that were still in the victims stomach?? i don’t know if she gulped them down without chewing them, but they showed a photo of the fries and while it was pretty disgusting – you could clearly see steak fries. it turned out that only one nearby diner served that exact type of steak fry so the detectives went there, showed people pics of the victim, figured out who she dined with and were able to nab the killer. fascinating, right?

I envy your cinnamon roll, Meesha. My husband LOVES CSI:Miami and I long ago decided that there was no way in hell I could ever be coroner. No way. I get grossed out way to easy.

Of all the worldwide media coverage, you’ve come upon the most brilliant and poignant take on MJ so far. Poor man. Abusive father, plastic surgery, skin bleaching, and didn’t even eat.

Our friend Richard isn’t a coroner, but for years he was the official photographer for the New York City Medical Examiner’s office. So he was there for autopsies, to document them in film.

These photos don’t show the human matter (except microscopically), but here is some of his work after 9/11: http://richpress.com/bin/bgz/Info.html

My stomach: chicken-fried pork chops (2), turkey cutlet, new potatoes with fresh dill, pickled beets, sauerkraut, sloppy joe + bun, carrot sticks, cashews, pretzels, 3 or 4 or maybe even 5 Polish crepes (naleshniki) rolled with jam, butter and sugar, several big hunks of Polish sausage, strawberries, blueberries, cheesecake. That about covers me for the last 12 hours. J’s Polish grandmother is in town, and that means yes, thank you for asking, I’ll take seconds.

Are Polish crepes similar to what I brought over for lunch that one time. We actually do have nalistniki, so I don’t expect them to be that different.
