I need to send Shir some homemade buckeyes

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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.

It reminds me of my mom, and Pigs in Space.

I don't know how I didn't see it before. Four years of Obama and we'll be Sweden. Could be worse for us men folk, but women folk are going to have to learn to be blonder and taller.

Actually, there is an interesting political connection. During the debate over the stimulus package, Susan Collins and Arlen Specter got $900 million for pandemic flue preparations dropped from the final bill. It was part of the whole "laughing over silly-sounding programs" that ended up biting Jindal in the butt when Mt. Redoubt blew.

Oh...maybe the swine flu jokes were on Veternarian's Hospital?
