I think the fear of colonoscopy has the same source as the fear of prostate checks. It's storytellers playing to the homophobia of the audience. "Yes, I got something stuck up my ass, but I sure as hell didn't enjoy it! I'm all man."

I was awake for my first colonoscopy, and watched the monitor while they did it. It was pretty uncomfortable, not surprisingly. I think I may have been awake for the second, as well, but the last few times I've been out, and it's a really light anesthetic (Propofol, the stuff that killed Michael Jackson), with pretty much no after effects.

I had my first colonoscopy about three years ago and the stuff I had to drink before the procedure wasn't that bad, taste like Alka-Selter with a lime favor. I agreed the prep are the worst, the day before procedure you must be on liquid diet. I was sedated during my colonoscopy but I never fallen asleep but I felt like I smoke the biggest weed like that Cheech and Chong's flick Up In Smoke.

I don't mind colonoscopys that much, just so long as I can feel an odd number of hands on my back.

Ok...I'll ask. Are all those "Cool Kids Only so Fuck Yooooou!" and "We Don't Like those Mean Assholes There!" Forums/Groups that spun off for various reasons still around? Or have they died down as well?

Happy to hear it... wait, I mean, not the part about having cancerous polyps, but the... Oh, forget it!

Blockbuster rents the UNRATED version of Caligula as well as many titles that could easily be considered softcore pornography.
