Yeah, out of all the annoying stuff in Dustin, this running 'joke' gets up my nose the most. Women just don't respond like that when a guy makes a pleasant, respectful approach to them. Perhaps Dustin's parents transmit their opinion that Dustin's utterly worthless by telepathy?
Maybe they do react that way if it's Skelly making what he imagines is a pleasant, respectful approach.

Anyway, Juliet Jones, where Pop doesn't go for any of this halfway house stuff and just shoves Dan in the way of a temptation to embezzlement.

As the RA, does Bernice have any say in how roommates get assigned? Because I can totally see her assigning Stefani as Tiff's roommate just to shove what Tiff used to be like in her face.

That said it's good practice to err on the side of not saying a drat thing anyway, especially when a celebrity(however minor) is involved.

Extreme HIPAA tl;dr since I'm bored at work:

-HIPAA covers a ton of poo poo, but the part most people think of is from the Privacy Rule in the act.
-HIPAA applies to protected health information(health status, provision of care, etc) tied to your personal identifiers(name, address, birthdate, phone number, social security number, etc) from covered entities(medical providers and insurance companies, mostly). This means that it's not a HIPAA violation for your boss to tell the office about your case of the rear end spurts. A dick move, but not a HIPAA violation. Anonymizing away all the identifying data associated with your PHI also means it's not a violation to talk about it, which is why it's cool for docs/nurses/etc to chat about a guy they saw the other day with a lightbulb shoved up his butt as long as there's no way to tell who the guy was.
-Medical providers can still disclose your info without your express consent if it's for treatment/payment purposes. They're supposed to disclose the minimum necessary for the purpose, though.
-it's HIPAA. Two As. Not two Ps.

I have known doctors who would swear that even acknowledging a patient in public (if they didn't acknowledge you first) is a HIPAA violation because somebody might see and figure out how you know each other. I have also known doctors who didn't give a single flying gently caress about HIPAA and would tell every patient every detail about every other patient whether they wanted to hear it or not.

In my experience, "Do you know Vargo, who is also my patient" is generally a lead in to, "Lost his leg to juvenile diabetes, you know. Saddest thing. I gave him a cool new leg, though! You could hike a whole mountain with him and never know!" It really is just better to keep your trap shut to begin with.

Then again, the doctors I work for are dentists, and dentists are horrible gossips.

I do love how Wal can be pretty ruthless when it comes to running the farm, but still has a heart.

In today's Corto Maltese: Mongolian shamanism, and indeed many forms of shamanism in the Northern Eurasian region incorporate drums in their rituals - you see it also in the Sami people of Norway/Sweden/Finland/Russia, or the Mopa has got some fantastic smoke machines, or Corto and Rasputin are upset at Lil





And so ends the story of Ungern Khan! In real life the 'good' baron was mutinied against by his troops, even resulting in an attempted assassination. In 1921, he was eventually captured by the Communists and, unsurprisingly, was executed. So much for him. And so much for our story, for we now begin the last book of this adventure! Join us next time, won't you, where Corto channels the spirit of St. George in...
