There's a guy I know, goes by the name Stale on the Penny Arcade forums.
Stale's taken a lot of crap over the years from his body. He's basically had every disease known to man. This has left him with a rather minimal degree of walking ability with out cripple sticks. He also fought a zombie possum once. Anyways, his teeth have begun to abscess recently, meaning Stale's getting them taken out pretty much any day now, bottom row first. After that, he's stuck on liquid food for ever. This is arguably his most dangerous surgery ever; everyone at PA is kinda worried about him. His insurance isn't the best either, so he's had a lot of difficulty in getting the whole thing done. He was actually supposed to get the surgery done as I write, but he couldn't get the right antibiotics from his plan. Apparently he got pretty mad over that one. I quote:
"I was not pleasant. Nor was I professional. I was country.
"*censored*" may have been shouted into my phone in the middle of a very nice sushi restaurant I was having soup in."
Normally, he's a little more civil about his discourse. Anyway, it should be done sometime next week. Should be. It's already been two weeks delayed.
Good-news-everyone-Edit: He found a dentist who cares
But there is a cool story to this. Stale got his last meal. Basically, even without the surgery, regular eating is just getting painful. Right now the man is in the market for a good blender.
Basically, he started a discussion on what his last meal should be. A general agreement was steak. And eventually, some of his friends in meatspace got Stale's story out to one of the top chefs in Atlanta. Stale got his steak.
And it looks like it was delicious.
Here's another little slideshow:

Godspeed you, Stale Gummibear*
*because nothing is tougher than a stale gummi bear.
But seriously, keep Stale in your prayers and hopes and meditations and Satanist rituals. He really needs it.
