I don't get it -- you'd think the sky was falling in GD due to pig flu

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

I'm a total germophobe, live close to NYC, and am not freaked out.

[mainegreen]

1. Everyone has turned into Chicken Little, apparently.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

3. The other day somebody was suggesting stocking up on bottled water

It's like "WTF? Pig flu isn't going to invade our water supplies."

[HopeHoops]

2. Just stay away from Catholic schools

:hide:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

6. Easy enough

I have my own uniform.

[Pierre.Suave]

4. The sky is always falling in GD...

Just for different reasons every day. It would be real fun to ask them why the sky hasn't hit any of them yet...

[av8rdave]

5. Had friends that wouldn't go to dinner with us last night because he fears the pig flu

What makes it even funnier: He says, "How about next week?"

Of course, this guy also fears Obama, the Mayan calendar, etc., etc.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

7. Yeah, cause there will be less next week

Mayan calendar is another good stupid freakout thing.

[TreasonousBastard]

10. When you do have dinner, be sure to tell him about...

that bigass volcano in Yellowstone that's about to blow, the New Madrid fault, and the asteroids on their way to hit us.

Don't leave out any details.

Treasonous the Terrified

[av8rdave]

14. Oh, he's all over the Yellowstone volcano

This guy is convinced that there is an imminent calamity of some kind that will wipe us all out.

Ironically, he does not believe in global warming. (He watches a lot of Glenn Beck).

[TreasonousBastard]

8. Well, evolution hasn't quite finished the job yet...

and it's amazing we survive at all, much less make stuff and run the planet, as stupid as we can be.

[hobbit709]

9. I keep saying that the human race has survived despite itself.

[TZ]

11. Thats only half of GD

According to the other half of GD--this is a made up disease being pushed and promoted by Big Pharma/Donald Rumsfeld/Karl Rove to sell "deadly" vaccines...:eyes:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

15. I'm just like, it's the fucking flu, chill

[TZ]

18. Thats a good attitude

Reading between the lines from the WHO and CDC...I can see they are concerned but not panicking. I think actually its good practice for something that may not be as somewhat harmless as this is turning out to be...

[Left Is Write]

12. I'm not freaked out either.

The more the general population freaks out, the more irritable I get.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

17. Yeah, pretty much

[LostinVA]

21. Me too

Even my father The Hypochondriac isn't worried about it, nor does he think the cold he picked up in Miami (FULL of Hispanics) is the Porky Flu. If even HE isn't freaking out...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

30. There's Hispanic people in Miami?

[Nicole Lambeth]

13. some people are freaking out...see?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

16. That's awesome

[Debi]

32. I just sent that to my Mom!

:rofl:

[TZ]

19. I wonder if its the same crowd

That was saying a few months ago we are all gonna be standing in bread lines and need guns to fend off our starving neighbors...
This kind of sums it up:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

26. At least a gun is more useful protection than a case of hand sanitizer

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

20. SARS, Bird Flu, Y2K

This is worse than all of them! This is the apocalypso dance of death! TEOTWAWKI!

I just want to live long enough to see one more "talk like a pirate day"

Arrr!

:hi:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

27. I piratized my facebook page yesterday

Everyday can be talk like a pirate day now

[LostinVA]

22. Great -- wtf am I supposed to do with the 10 cases of bottled water I bought us at Costco?

Let alone the beef jerky and Listerine.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

24. I don't even fucking eat beef jerky

Now, salmon jerky...that's something Costco should carry.

[LostinVA]

25. That's why I only bought five cases of it

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

29. You and Mick will be set

[JVS]

35. You have to try this stuff

[LynneSin]

23. I live close to UDel - they found 4 confirmed cases there

life goes on as usual

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

28. The spread of pig flu has been slowed down by all the tolls there

[LynneSin]

typo there - shouldn't it be the word "here"

since you can't go to the grocery store without paying a toll. Probably have one at the end of your driveway

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

34. Unless I'm going down the shore, I don't pay tolls

And, only suckers pay the tolls on the parkway, anyway. You can just throw anything in. It doesn't actually have to be 35 cents.

[LynneSin]

36. All those out-of-staters coming to DE for cheap smokes & booze

we gotta get them somehow.

I don't pay tolls either

[LynneSin]

33. typo there - shouldn't it be the word "here"

[Sky Masterson]

31. I'm not falling for pig flu.

I don't think pig flu is all that cute.:silly:
