SWINE FLU TURNS TERRENCE CODY INTO NATION'S LARGEST MISERABLE OBJECT
Terrence Cody is sick with symptoms consistent with those of swine flu, something the 8995 pound Alabama defensive tackle acquired from any number of the whole pigs he ate yesterday. He and "four or five guys" are being quarantined to keep the virus (whatever it is) from spreading to the rest of the team, but let's go back to the news that Terrence Cody is sick, and acknowledge that the single largest concentration of human misery in the world today is a mass of humanity straining the springs of a mattress in a dorm room in Tuscaloosa. His is the one with a hose hooked up to a tanker truck of Rib 'n Gravy-flavored Gatorade snaking through the window.

"That's the last time we take the team swimming at Pigshit Springs."
Best wishes to our favorite national park/defensive tackle. In the meantime, swine flu has a 7 percent mortality rate. If you are a scholarship player at Alabama and you get a sudden switch of roommates, and that roommate walks in sniffling and openly sneezing all over everything? Consider that a message from coach, because scholarships don't trim themselves, son.

I love that picture. I can’t believe I just noticed that guy in the background shielding himself from the impending tidal wave. That poor guy never had a chance.
Best wishes for an SEC-speedy recovery for the Tide players that are feeling under the weather.

Judas Priest… I laughed ’til I cried at that picture.
O, you’re swiftly approaching “game shape.”

The betting public would like to know whether Bama will be recovered in time for VT.

“These overhead shots are brought to you tonight by our good friends at Goodyear…”
Be well, man-mountain.

Pigshit Springs? That’s amazing.
Better watch out for ‘Bama this coming week. Out of about 1000 people on a boat I was on, over 100 had Swine flu inside of a week. What’s a lot like a boat? A sweltering Deep South dorm room.

It’s amazing that something so small could take down something so big – God speed so you can eat some hokey soon…

Now that is Friday humor at its best…. and thanks for the new screen saver…. for some reason I am having images of “The Legend of Boggy Creek”

7% mortality rate? is that right?
“Currently in the US it appears that for every 1000 people who get infected, about 40 people need admission to hospital and about one person dies. " From a 5/09 article:

good luck to the BIG man.

I fully expect Mississippi State players to wear masks and surgical gloves at this Saturday’s Meet the Bulldogs event. The university is already report over 300 possible cases.

The article neglected to mention that volunteers are needed to pour salt water over Terrence’s body in 10 minute intervals as he recuperates for his release back into the sea.

Didn’t I see this creature at some Thanksgiving parade last year?

I just made my donation to the Red Cross Tsunami Victims Fund. I can’t believe this stuff still happens in America!

H1N1 appears to be the college “mono” of the 21st century – with far more dire consequences.
Saban could always call up Randy Shannon and ask him how he is handling the scholarship issue. This makes what – 3 QB’s – who have now left the program? I’m half expecting to see a “Help Wanted – QB needed” in the classfied ad section of the Miami Herald any day now.

The chemicals naturally present in any self respecting southern BBQ would devour any virus or non-essential bacteria on the spot. Allow me to fire up the black helicopters, because clearly this reeks of culinary sabotage.

Alcohol kills germs, right? Wonder how this happened.

Okay, okay… Who’s been putting all the H1N1 in the hash?

I am looking forward to an ugly bout of swine flu sometime around bowl season. Hopefully this thing will stay in the news long enough for me to have a gruesome relapse during March Madness.

No doubt Saban will have every swine-like creature in Alabama exterminated for this injustice against the Tide.

Wow. Even as a loyal Saban-hating LSU fan, I find that to be pretty damn cold. Funny as hell, but damn cold! Many cocktails to you, and you are cleared to sit the rest of the preseason; you’re good to go!
Seriously, of course, if this really is swine flu, my prayers for any afflicted. Even a .1% mortality rate is tragic, and it would be a really shitty way to kick off a football season.

Its like an attack on the Deathstar. Impervious to a large scale attack, the spacestation may still be vulnerable to single fighters, scraping the surface trying to hit an exhaust port no bigger than a whomp rat.
Pew Pew.
