So according to dude on Oprah the other day we're all going to die...

[mickill]

...from bird flu. And if it's not bird flu, it'll be some other pandemic. And basically we cannot do anything about it other than try realy hard to not die. Thanks guy. You really brightened my day with this.


Dr. Osterholm says, "This is not a probability issue, it's going to happen. What we don't know is which strain it's going to be or when it's going to happen. It could be tonight. It could be 10 years from now. The bottom line is we have a lot to do to get better prepared."

mickill says, "This totally sucks ass, man."

[jabumbo]

mrs mickill says, "don't worry hunny, you aren't mortal, so this won't affect you"

[Freebasser]

I eat H5N1 for breakfast.

[Qdrop]

it's complete bullshit.

my mother works in the biotech dept at RIT....which is one of the top BIOtech depts in the country....
the professors are basically laughing at people like this...
they are just half-assed alarmists who want to get on TV and see thier name and words quoted...

[mickill]

This is what I kept telling my wife. I said the guy had chicken little syndrome and was talking out of his ass. But then I started thinking, "Wait. We're all gonna die".

[monkey]

my doctor said i have a viral respiratory infection. i said i have a cold, can i have a note?

[yeahwho]

This is kind of an interesting situation mickill, do you also subscribe to "O" magazine? I never knew this about you. What is Ellen's take on all this?

[cookiepuss]

well we are all gonna die. one way or another. it really doesn't matter how.
sometimes I wish death would hurry up and get on with it already. oh man, I'm drepressed today...........ho-hum

[marsdaddy]

Solution: Parental Controls on Oprah.

Yeah, but let's not all die at once.

I don't regularly watch Oprah, no. And I'd like to throw Ellen out of a moving helicopter.

Whats wrong today, dude? Stress? Boss being an idiot?

I'm actually feeling somewhat bummed and confused today too. For no particular reason. Must be something in the water.

[Monsieur Decuts]

super aids is going to get you.

as long as Magic Johnson is still alive, i don't get worried about this shit. he's like that little monkey from Outbreak. If I get some crazy virus I'm sneaking in to Magic's house and stealing some of his hair and a mouth swab.

[mickill]

Whats wrong today, dude? Stress? Boss being an idiot?

Listen, we're trying to have a serious discussion about actual societal affliction, plagues that threaten to wipe out all human existence on the planet, Oprah, Magic Johnson's health, Qdrop's mom's job; REAL issues, people!

Please, take the "I'm bummed, sista" chit chat to the "longest thread" or something. I tell ya. Some people.

[cookiepuss]

mickill doesn't care about me anymore......bird flu more important......*cries*

[marsdaddy]

Please, take the "I'm bummed, sista" chit chat to the "longest thread" or something. I tell ya. Some people.Salt in the wound!

[mickill]

Perhaps I was a bit harsh.

Tell me what strife is causing you to feel such sorrow, cookie.

[Monsieur Decuts]

whatever it is, its not as bad as having the bird flu

[Qdrop]

Solution: Parental Controls on Oprah.

smartest damn thing you've said in months!

[hpdrifter]

Jeez, thread nazi.

Now you feel bad so you're going to try to make it up to her?

I never thought of you as a flip flopper, buddy.

[Qdrop]

hahhaahhah!

[kleptomaniac]

it'd be funny if Oprah got a shotgun and just started shooting birds outta the sky. they'd be dropping left and right and she'd laugh and laugh, shouting "not today, birds! ahahahaha!"

[cosmo105]

MIKE WATCHES OPRAH!!

[cookiepuss]

Perhaps I was a bit harsh.

Tell me what strife is causing you to feel such sorrow, cookie.


Well, it's just that my lips have been chapped for like two months straight and nothing I put on them helps. No really. not hyjacking the thread here. I have some problems, I'll go get a shrink and hopefully that will straighten me out. thanks for asking mikey-poo. I still <3 you.

[cosmo105]

dude, mine too. taking flaxseed oil has helped a lot. but i think it's been an unusually dry winter. stay away from anything that has petroleum jelly, too.

[mickill]

I DON'T WATCH OPRAH! Not that there'd be anything wrong with that if I did. I'm not insecure like that.

Saradear, when my lips get chapped, which is almost never, I just rub a bit of motor oil on them and go pump some iron. Then I knock a few Crazy Horses back and listen to Pantera.

[ToucanSpam]

Aren't we 'due' for an epidemic of some kind?

Not to say that this fellow is correct, mind you. Seems like another guy who just wants to make it on television and scream like a chimpanzee about terrible things that are going to happen to us in a few years.

[roosta]

it's complete bullshit.

its not COMPLETE bullshit. pandemics happen without fail everyso often, so it will happen again.

the real question is, will it happen before or after the pod people colonise us?

Yeah he's talking about a pandemic though, a worldwide spread, like the Spice Girls' popularity.

By the way flakey pouted dudes, Carmex it.

How can we prepare for this nasty strain when we don't know what it is or how it is even contracted? How can it be prevented? Hm okay so immunizations are out so let's prepare for death! We've been doing that our whole lives!

I hope that I don't get killed by any 'flu (or anything else for that matter) so I can live to see and use physical interactive television sets and watch a re-run of this show mickill watched and slap that Dr. Osterholm bint and shame him for talking out of his bottom about something so obvious.

[fucktopgirl]

The only way you can prepare for thoses"killer flu"is by having a strong immune system,,if it ever happen,,weak people will died first so,,
but anyway,i dont think it gona happen anytime soon,this is a fear campagn to sell their fucking vaccins!!Command Oprah,,how many millions of people listen to that show??

[paulb]

[ericlee]

[enree erzweglle]

We're overdue for a pandemic.
