Anthony Bourdain is probably laughing really hard at that.
I would be there right now.

Because books.
Consuela, that's great news about your folks. And also a great piece about the shore -- thanks for linking.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
This is the answer: "Microbiology. Infectious diseases. STDs. Chancroid."
There is no nickname I can come up with that she's going to want printed on a t-shirt. (Okay, I'm considering "Infectious T," since her name starts with T.)
I like "Infectious T."

Teppy, it's sort of like coming up with a roller derby name.
That's what I was thinking, too!

MC Chancroid.
Yo, I'm MC Chancroid / and I'm here to say / check that junk out close up before you hit it, okay?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think Pustulence and Pestilence is just begging to be used as a Regency romance.

Hah! I kind of love this. Though I would also vote for any weird oldtimey nickname for chancroids. (All I can think of is "The Clap", but that's not the right STI, and I dont' remember what the others are called...I'm not even sure if that one is gonnorhea or waht)

Yes! I am slow this morning. Still getting the coffee in me (plumber of course came at exactly 8AM, though since it only took him about 15 minutes, it makes sense)

The Clap is always syphilis!
Anybody see Play For Germs?
It's pretty funny and horrible. (Gonorrhea and Syphilis argue about who had a bigger effect on human history by all the famous people they infected. Edward Albee one-act play.)
