[*Crybaby-Rant?]

Get this, I have had a light fever after returning to town Sunday, but I was actually able to go into work yesterday. About half-way into the day my co-worker pointed out my lymph nodes on my neck were swollen..and i sounded like crap. I looked and they were sticking out terribly, I looked almost like a chipmunk so I took some ibuprofen and finished out the day as the swelling went down. Went home, had a light bowl of soup and went to bed only to wake up around 6am today feeling like I had been in a boxing match. Fever, massive headache, but worst of all..

..sounding like I was someone else entirely..deep, really deep baritone voice. When I called into work and then to my wife, neither trusted it was me at first.

This sucks..tell me I am not alone here. Seriously, I feel like I am back in collegiate boxing again and it's the day or two after a match.
*Coffee isn't helping, thereflu isn't either..maybe just a bad head cold?

**No flu shot for the wife or I this year, just the baby got one since last year we both got really-really sick afterwards..this isn't as bad, but still sucks.

I was having to skip the monthly meeting for the little-one's birthday party, now I have to skip both since nobody else wants to get sick or have their kid get sick.

Weakest beyond weak..this sooo sucks.

;p ROFl..screw that I am not reprogramming my itunes again. FWIW one of my good customers has suggested more than once to break out the scotch, I'm waiting for a bottle from him to try out. I've never tried it in coffee, so I figure why not?

How about instead I let you tell me how some guys North of here decided to go with an Orca in a Taco as the club logo?
I've always wanted to ask about that one. :popcorn:

If Scotch were a cure for colds, then I should be well ahead for this winter.

I'm curious about the Orca Taco too.
 
*Too bad I am sick and the Scotch is down here..this is campfire type material right here!

Having raced MTB and Moto in Southern Oregon (Medford) I think Jerod's saying the club monicker proposed was "O.R.C.A" and they ended up with "J.S.C." instead. Sort of how the Off-Road Moto and MTB club is "OBRA" for Oregon Bicycle Racing Association. I asked about the ORCA Taco bit because a couple of their members rock that as an avatar.

:D Inter club relations over me being sick and wanting him to cough up a story..now I call that a cool move.

Cough up the story man..I know this probably belongs in Chit-Chat, but I look at it overall as friendship stuff anyhow..so, again, cough up the whole story Jerod. :popcorn:
 
There's not too much to the story, ORCA Taco almost became the name of out TLCA chapter, and some of the staunch backers of the name have stickers on their trucks and have had the ORCA logo as their avatars... Mainly Gabe... :D

"Headcrab fever, contract it!"
Concerned #94: Friday, December 30, 2005

Sorry, talk of illness made me think of this comic.
 
Added to my bookmarks, thanks! I already read Yehuda Moon and it's been forever since I've read HomeStar Runner..now I have something besides cabin fever to keep me company.

The 4Runner's sitting in the driveway waiting for me to feel better and start on some annual cleaning and rustproofing.

**Peesalot's posted some blurb about homeboy's FJ-40..about time someone besides me posted some stuff! ;)
 
Yeah, Concerned is a great HL2 Parody, and I wish the Homestar people would throw us an update every now and again.

Feel better man!
