From JimGoad.net<\/a>: And that’s all I remember. <\/p>\n According to the intensely pregnant Shannon, I came into our living room, sat on the couch next to her, looked out the window, and my eyelids began fluttering. She thought I was just goofing and asked me to stop. Then my arms and legs started flailing, I bit down on my tongue hard enough that blood was pouring out of my mouth, and I finally collapsed, stopped breathing, and turned blue. Shannon pushed furniture out of the way, dragged me to the floor, called 911, then proceeded to administer mouth-to-mouth. <\/p>\n When the paramedics arrived, it was three black males and an Asian guy. I called them "monkeys." Shannon tried covering for me and explained that we’d festooned our nursery with monkey blankets, monkey pillows, and a monkey mobile because we were calling our son-to-be "Li’l Mr. Monkey," but she isn’t sure it helped much. <\/i><\/p>\n You can still email Jim at melbanarberth@yahoo.com<\/a> or jd@jimgoad.net<\/a> and visit him on myspace at myspace.com\/jimgoad<\/a>. ~RR<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.reviewermagazine.com\/jim-goads-tumor.html The Brain Surgery Of Jim Goad If this isn’t an elaborate hoax like one of his scathing satire zines published in the mid-90s to spoof his competition with Answer Me, it appears that the great populist yet underground writer James Thaddeus Goad has been diagnosed with a type of brain cancer (on the outside of the cranium… not attacking […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[225],"class_list":["post-484","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-archive","tag-jim-goads-brain-tumor"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":46,"url":"https:\/\/reviewermag.com\/press\/2006\/04\/26\/namm-06-pics-by-jim\/","url_meta":{"origin":484,"position":0},"title":"Namm 06 pics by Jim","author":"admin","date":"April 26, 2006","format":false,"excerpt":"Below are photos from NAMM '06 by Jim Steinfeldt.
