'A Hole in the World'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Pan = widespread/global; epi = confined to a single location (which could be a school, or a town, or a small country)
Thank you. My mom asked me last night and I realized that I didn't know. I feel like I didn't hear the term "pandemic" until ten or fifteen years ago, but I also feel like that about the terms "hoodie" and "wifebeater"
At least the 1918 flu gave us the sparkly vampire.
I need to send Shir some homemade buckeyes.
Now I want a Reese's Cup!
Mmm... Me too!
Actually, I just want food. Must go in search of lunch.

Thanks to information learned early from b.org, I now know this is a reference to Twiverse vampires since they apparently sparkle. I still assume this is because Twiverse vampires like to wear lots of that glitter makeup which is popular with the primary demographic that reads about them.

Shir can really has some homemade buckeyes, and have it well. Shir doesn't know yet what homemade buckeyes are, but she has funny assumptions about it.
Shir also has unending statistics homeworks.
I believe they had to bring glitter makeup back from the dead for the target demo to buy, actually.
I mean, I know it's suddenly WAY easier to find than it was four or five years ago. I can replace some of my decade-old stockpile!
Swine flu is the new SARS.
Remember all those stories from the 1970s where the world was totally hosed due to Swine Flu wiping out most of humanity? Good times, good times.

Funny you should mention. I'm finding that I have some trouble taking this panic seriously because I associate the phrase "Swine Flu" almost entirely with the Ford administration.
(Also because not worthy of panic. Concern, yes.)
Re: The Swine Flu
I'm waiting with bated breath to find out precisely how this is Obama's fault.
Obama's high taxes are cutting into the amount of bacon people can bring home. Less bacon equals more pigs equals more swine flu.
CLEARLY the swine flu pandemic is a Zionist Socialist plot to trick us into accepting universal healthcare.
