Give Blood For Injured NOPD Officer
Would it hurt them to publish his blood type? From nola.com:
The New Orleans Police Department is seeking blood donations for the officer who was shot Monday afternoon and was undergoing sugery Monday evening. Interested persons may give blood at 2701 Manhattan Blvd. in Harvey and at 3400 16th St. in Metairie.
Update: May 24, 2006 12:45PM Just got off the phone with NOPD Public Affairs and they have no new information on the status of the officer.

O-negative can be used on anyone. I’m O-negative but can’t give blood because of low blood pressure. I just hate it that I have the one-size-fits-all of blood types, but I can’t donate.
db, I am aware of this medical fact, but it would be nice if the paper published his blood type and requests for O-. Then again, the average American does not know his/her blood type (it’s required for driver’s licenses in some countries). I’m B+ (mostly useless) but, thanks to anemia, need my blood more than anyone else does.
Oh, and every time I see your handle, I want to break into the theme song of Danger Mouse!
I can’t give blood either, I don’t weigh enough
and take anticonvulsants. I’ll never get a coffee mug this way!!
Laurie
anticonvulsants?? WTF is that? That has got to have some sexual side effects - has to.
Yeah, there are, if my epileptic ass gets to shaky and I can’t
ground through it, I have to tell him to stop.
Laurie
anticonvulsants - to prevent seizures. May have some sexual side affects (u bad boy Jake)
heh heh, I always took the whole twitching legs as a compliment but I guess there could have been another reason. I had Rally Burger for lunch and got “epileptic ass” this afternoon my damn self.
lol lol lol :D
I’m going to the KingPin after work if anyone wants to come get drunk with me.
o.k., I think i’m showing my 40+ age, I don’t have a clue what the ‘KingPin’ is .. :(
A Kingpin
Thanks Maitri!
I can’t believe this went from a nice request for people to give blood to an epileptic sex chat room. I knew there was some reason why I liked you people! I can’t believe I missed the drinking, I could have totally used it.
Where’s our mug?!
I tried to give blood, but they wouldn’t let me!
Every one else walks around with their shirts and thinks
your being mean when you say you didn’t give blood
they don’t wan’t excuses.
How is the cop doing?
Laurie
Laurie - I have the same issue with weight. So I can’t give blood, but if it makes you feel any better, I get you a mug :)
I’m on my way to KingPin..
Thanks, but I already stole my husbands.
Laurie
Thanks, and here I thought we were asking for blood donations to a cop who is critically injured. Perhaps we should start a side forum on this topic, which I will be glad to jump into.
Where were you guys who said you were going to be at the Kingpin last night? It turned into one-on-one nerdery (!!) between Jack and me (after I walked right up to him and asked, “Do you know if a guy named Jack is around?” They need better lighting in that place. Or not. The blogger mystique is better retained in poor light.)
As for the officer, no update yet. See the post above.
It’s not our fault this board moves fast!
Was he wearing a pocket protector too?
Laurie
Was he wearing a pocket protector too?
Is that what the kids call birth control these days?
Yes, Laurie, he came prepared. :-)
Well, I went and as I approched the door, this toothless treasure asked me if I wanted to marry him. Allrightythen.. I quickly turned around and left. Sorry guys, I didn’t want to see what other treats were waiting for me inside.
No teeth? All the better to nip you with, my dear.
The Kingpin is one of the nicer pubs / hangouts in town. That shouldn’t have deterred you. Then again, better safe than sorry. There’s always a next time!
Always next time - see, its thinking like that that keeps people sober.
Ya know Jack, u have a point. Will try never to let it happen again! Always next time.
