Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Ann, that's a ferret.
(Just so we're clear, the simplex kind of herpes that causes cold sores isn't the same kind of herpes as the kind that infests sexual organs. Everybody knows that, right?)
Yes. The former is actually a flare-up of old chicken pox virus that's still wandering around the body.

Hey, I actually got herpes on my ring finger once. I had to run back into the main office from the server room, went to pull the door shut behind me, and caught my wedding ring on the latch, ripping a big hole in my finger. No worries, but, apparantly, before I got around to putting a band-aid on it, I grabbed a doorknob, or telephone, or something, that someone had touched after playing their cold sores, and . . . .

Nope. Chicken pox is Herpes Zoster, and when it flares up, it's called Shingles and it sucks donkey cock. Herpes Simplex 1 (HSV1) typically causes oral lesions (cold sores), and is more common than HSV2, the virus responsible for most genital lesions. However, HSV1 can cause genital outbreaks, and HSV2 can cause oral ones, so it's a blurry line.
One of 'em, probably HSV1, can also cause blistering rashes on the body that are spread by contact. IIRC, high school wrestling is a breeding ground for that.
(Per my prenatal bloodwork, I don't have HSV1 or HSV2, so I have no idea why I have the vast herpes knowledge that I do, though it might have something to do with being really bored and reading medical texts as a teen.)

Man, I'm going to see Batman in an hour (an hour and 5 minutes, to be exact), and I see 70+ new messages in here, and they're all about space clams in dirigibles!
Good work.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
What, did you expect us to spoil you by mentioning that his parents get killed?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
How's your head, Tepp?

Batman is actually Lois Lane. Spread the word.
