Tim who? Soooo 1997.

Somewhere, a deer's brain is missing it's prion.

Well, I'm sure you're long on impressions. Actual supporting arguments...not so much.

Right on cue in the inability-to-keep-up department.

Amongst morons, yes. Practically speaking, of course, there is absolutely no difference. Pro civil rights proponents in Washington were smart enough to sidestep that none-substantive issue on their way to victory.

Keep up. Mutate faster.

We rock, Maine sucks. But what can you say about a state where its inbred population talks like they've had their tongues removed?

No, you CAN'T HAS CHEEZEBURGER.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Inside joke. Some of us here got it. You did not. We know something you don't. At your expense. That has got to BURN.

Here's an original viral strain for youz:

The real question for you two is this: Who makes a better apple pie?

Gotta go to court now. The Man claims that I sped. In my Outback. Which you'd think would be a non-starter on its face.

wheredja git them fancy PO-litical caricatures, Art Boi?

...ly.

I climb hard...

I'm a climber, so I know plenty.

That sounded purty smart.

Poliovirus and smallpox infect only humans and have no intermediate hosts, as is not the case with the flu that cross-infects birds, horses, pigs and humans as of today and then who knows. If there are no new victims to infect, viruses like polio and smallpox cannot longer survive in the environment because they are not capable of adapting to a different host. When coupled with their almost non-existing mutation potential, mass vaccination and containment were the major driving force in providing us with the life long immunity and complete eradication of the smallpox (nearly there for the polio). That is not going to happen with the Influenzavirus. Being an RNA virus, it has high mutation rate and can infect the same host over and over again because the specific antibodies produced following flu infection or vaccination ONLY prevent subsequent infection of the original non-mutated virus - one reason why flu vaccines sometimes fail. Second, RNA genome of the flu virus often recombinates with other flue types or even those from other species resulting in hybrid viruses. Again, the new flu strains appear before the adaptive immune response is formed and/or vaccines are made. FYI: The RNA retrovirus HIV (causes AIDS) has the highest mutation rates ever AND goes into the latent phase by hiding out in the resting T lymphocytes thereby completely failing an HIV vaccine as yet. Which also explains why mutts make the best dogs.

With Patty Murray, we had the Mom in Tennis Shoes. Enter the Incubator in a Snuggy.

the bums out or...er...at least a new bum in.

and send the God-slobberers to Hell, South Park style.

Right now, sucka. Last chance.

Gotta have it postmarked today. Get in on the battle against the brain-eaten Zombie Horde. They're fun to kill.

Vaccines are for pussies. Tough it out.
