Cindy Taylor looks like the best buy, but then again, Tina Turner has those legs. I dunno, man. I guess I’d just settle for the DeLorean.

Oh and doesn’t The Onion own The Chive now? Maybe they saw this post back in March and were like, “Grrr, darn those keen looking individuals at The Chive, WE MUST BUY THEM, MuHahahahaha”

I bet that’s exactly what happened…….

Oh mannnnnnn… You might be able to get the lung transplant — but you couldn’t start smoking again… Post lung-transplant, you’d be immune-suppressed — there actually have been a few recipients who have decided to start smoking again — I imagine they smoked in their earlier years, they had to quit because their respiratory condition deteriorated so much… You generally will not be considered for transplant if there is a suspicion you would start smoking again…

Yet — of the thousands of lung transplants performed, naturally a few of them returned to smoking, if only a fraction of what they did before transplant… I imagine after living so long with destroyed lungs, and receiving new ones, there might be a lure to try it again because you’re able to breathe so well…

I was at a conference with lung transplant directors from Pittsburgh and Chicago — to high-volume lung transplant centers — the two doctors discussing the situation said that the small handful of patients who returned to smoking developed bronchiolitis obliterans within months — and all of them were dead within six months… Bronchiolitis obliterans is the same thing that generally occurs when lung recipients go into rejection…

Granted — the recipients were immune-suppressed, and probably a little crazy to consider smoking again — but if it causes that to happen that quickly in a lung recipient — it probably doesn’t give one a warm-n-fuzzy about smoking in general…
