That chinese food has given me a case of the shits.
I'm going to the bathroom over and over and I'm about to have a fit.
I've used 17 rolls of tissue because it's coming out so fast.
If I don't quit soon, I'll have to stick a plug up my ass.

You certainly don't have to travel abroad to contract this, but it is certainly a little easier to find in the Third World.

And for those of you who rhapsodize about your pet cat, dog or whatever, it is little Fluffy, Poopsie or whatever that is most likely to contract it first, and pass the delightful disease on to to you.

Dying of rabies is easy. Once you start to show symptoms, it's untreatable.

I've heard that precautionary rabies shots -- the first series of them -- are the consistency of peanut butter. They go into your thighs and you can feel them moving through your legs.

Well, the move is going well. All that's left is this desk and chair, the computer and a box of Corn Flakes that Stark left for me when she exited with the six football players who did all the heavy lifting. They all went out together around 1 am. But, I'm sure they'll be back soon. Right?

Well, while I'm waiting here, I've been watching clips from the U.N. Security Counsel and learned from Muammar al-Gaddafi that we no longer should be worrying about the Swine Flu. According to Gaddafi, during his 94 minute, 15 minute speech, we should be preparing for the next threat...the Fish Flu. He didn't offer any solutions to this new threat, but he did show up for his 94 minute, 15 minute speech wearing snorkling gear. He called for better labeling on fish flakes and warned children to stay at least 10 feet from the family aquarium.

He also claimed that Jack Ruby was an Israeli and I quote, "When I wake up at 11 o'clock, I'm supposed to be daytime. 4 o'clock, I'm awake. Why? Think about it."

I can't top that, so this review ends here...

(Who was his speech writer...SuKings?)

Low rating because where you pick it up is irrelevant.

And those on this website who pooh-pooh this as being overhyped simply are quite fortunate that this thing hasn't yet mutated into a stronger strain. Quick mutation of viruses are indeed causes for worry and news- if you don't know that than please at least keep quiet while those of us who care about science try to digest the information that the American media knows little about.

When the flu season (last year) ended experts predict that H1N1 would surface again in New Zealand (which it did) and the subsequent spread to America would have different possible results. . .among them (1) it runs its course and we develop natural resistances to it or perhaps (2) it mutates slightly and becomes quite nasty.

We've been, quite frankly, far too lucky with this thing thus far. . .but save your breath and opinions about how you're 'sick of the story' because the virus is one mutation away from being quite bored with you.

Worst diseases to pick up WHILE A BROAD?

I guess Christophino's got a 50/ 50 shot at catching this.

I'm sure it’s no fun to pick it up while abroad or while a guy, but it is just another bug that will make you feel like crap and then your body will defeat it and then life will go on. Some of you will die, but in no significantly greater numbers than will die from any one of the other tens of thousands of hazards we encounter daily while we inhabit this veil of tears.

Life goes on, sometimes it doesn't. Enjoy every sandwich.

Oh swine flu, how my ears bleed every time i have to hear about you. I know Swine flu is a serious matter, and I know there are some deaths that have come of it, but i still think that people have gone a bit swine flu crazy. There is a very simple way to lower the spread of this "demon of a disease", are you read for this? Drum roll please! Wash your hand, cover your mouth, stay home if you're sick , and stay away from those who are sick. Oddly, that sounds familiar to how you would act with any flu. We can stop with the face mask and stocking up on emergency supplies ladies and gentleman, it's simple another strain flu. The flu comes around every year, some strains particularly harmful or harmless, yet we don't all go running for mask and hand sanitizer by the gallon. Honestly, for Florida being a big infection of this stuff, I don't know of anyone who has it. It is good to be cautious, no one wants a nasty flu, if you think you have swine flu go to a doctor and have it checked out. Most deadly cases are those who did not seek medical attention until it was to late. Good day and Good health to you. ( i am humored by fact that the Google ads on the page for this subject are for hand sanitizer and mask)

Only my therapist knows for sure and she's on vacation. Shit, with the number of people on the site with doctorates in psych or med science you'd think we'd be able to cure impotence medical problems like H1N1 and vaginal yeast.

Impish cubed. The only phrase I can remember with any regularity is "Please Jim, try to focus.". Right, what was I saying about Gatorade?

Like most psych illnesses it is over-diagnosed, as is depression, anxiety and off-topic posts (see jt's reviews). That said, it's about as embarrassing as drinking water in a desert, for me anyway. I love every minute of it. (Editor's caution: long sentence ahead!) No need to worry about getting bored (see jt's dating history) and it's more of a problem for you than me since you've just spent twenty minutes of your life explaining something that I neither care about nor will remember, all the time wondering how flies fly (say that six times fast), what to do with nuclear waste, how to combat global bullshit, err warming, why diapers are necessary, and so on and so forth, badda-bing badda-boom, etc.

Therapist: How's it going today (gives big smile).

Me: Shitty (gives big finger).

Therapist: What's the problem?

Me: This room. Has all the appeal of a men's room at the Cabaret.

Therapist: (gives big frown) *thinks where's he going now*

Me: (Gives big smile) *thinks absolutely nowhere. now I'm happy :)*

Therapist: What would you like to talk about today?

Me: Brake shoes on Volvo's *proceeds to talk about mowing lawns*

*one hour later. Hits every subject matter in the known and unknown universe*

Me: ...and that's why the SyFy channel sucks!

Therapist: Very well. Our time is up for now. See you next week!

Me: *already home*

Finally, the only item on here that I can be off-topic and still be on-topic...Yet another paradox blown to shit by yours truly!
