Yeah, I know, I have been a little slack for the last few days. Sorry. Been pretty busy lately. Made some new friends, started part time for a friend of mine, and just trying to not go insane. I will send more details later. But, right now, enjoy the following quotes and annecdotes.....
The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent
strain of Sexually Transmitted Disease.
This disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior.
The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim (pronounced "gonna re-elect him.")
Many victims contracted it in 2004, after having been screwed for the past 4
years, in spite of having taken measures to protect themselves from this
especially troublesome disease.
Cognitive sequelae of individuals infected with Gonorrhea Lectim include,
but are not limited to: Anti-social personality disorder traits; delusions
of grandeur with a distinct messianic flavor; chronic mangling of the
English language; extreme cognitive dissonance; inability to incorporate
new information; pronounced xenophobia; inability to accept responsibility
for actions; exceptional cowardice masked by acts of misplaced bravado;
uncontrolled facial smirking; ignorance of geography and history;
tendencies toward creating evangelical theocracies; and a strong propensity
for categorical, all-or-nothing behavior.
The disease is sweeping Washington. Naturalists and epidemiologists are
amazed and baffled that this malignant disease originated only a few years
ago from a Texas Bush.
