GOOD, LET THE TINY BUZZING FUCKERS AT ME.
THEY'LL TAKE ONE SIP OF MY BLOOD AND DIE.
Heh. LET THEM COME.
yeah you can fuck right off african disease I cannot pronounce. I've fended off your west nile counterpart, and bought the expensive vaccine for my hrosies to ensure they too do not fall over with a swelled up spine, thusly costing me 600 a fucking month for meds. DO YER WORST! (also mosquito season around these parts should be over within a month or so iirc as fall approacheth)
:argh!: :argh!: :argh!: :argh!:
You know what? FUCK IT! I'm getting power armor. Lets see how those mosquito fuckers do against a fucking cyborg :argh!:
QuoteThe spread of the disease could be greatest in so-called mega-cities such as Mumbai and Mexico City
NOT ME AGAIN!
:fresh::fresh::fresh::fresh::fresh:
Dude I live in the mosquito capitol of the world and the only people who get sick are the hypochondriacs.
Fuck these mosquitoes and whatever virus I probably already have an immunity for.
Mosquitos don't ever bite me. So they can carry face-rotting rabies for all I care.

Yes, lets make everyone panic over diseases that have been bothering people for a long long time yet just now finally they are going to bother someone /important/.
For FUCKS sake, people. Nearly any disease can be fatal to certain segments of the population. The rest just feel like shit for a while. If you have a bad immune system, are really young (in which case, why are you here?) or above 65, maybe you should take some precautions (DEET, anyone?). Otherwise, quit your whining panic. Srsly.
Kai,
Thinks the media should shut the fuck up about SWIIIIIIINNNNNNNEEEFFFFFFLLLLLUUU as well.
Hey, have you heard the government over here is preparing mass graves to deal with a swine flu outbreak?
I read it in the Metro, so it must be true.
I'm allergic to mosquito bites as it is :(
Srsly, any time I get bitten it swells up like a fucking huge red pus filled balloon. Fuck mosquitos, fuck 'em ALL.

To which mosquitoes go, "they're huge tasty consumerist wetland draining ASSHOLES".
Yeah, that's right, mosquitoes are environmentalists.

To which Payne says that they are harbouring Al'Qaeda agents and hate my freedom to go around unmolested by huge swellings of my limbs and in agony, and they should be bombed back into the stone age.
Fuck the environment if this is what it wants to do to me. NAPALM THAT BITCH TO SHIT.

You too? I think the last mosquito bite I received was over five years ago.
Clearly we are chosen to survive the horrible epidemic that our future mosquito overlords intend to inflict upon humanity.
I have never once been bitten. Neither has my dad, so I assume its a genetic thing. I considered risking it in the Amazon without a mosquito net, but decided the bugs in South America might not have heard I'm not meant to be bitten, and I'd get malaria and die.

wouldn't be any different than those insects that don't get eaten by birds due to distastefulness.
edit: just looked around, its actually more of a masking odor that causes some people to get bitten less.
mosquitos love to bite me probably just because they know i already have skin problems and they want to make me look even more like a leper :argh!:
I rarely get bitten, as well. This summer was an exception.
I get eaten alive. :argh!:
I'm anemic, have a lower than average body temp, and stressed 90% of the time. Skeeters HATE me.

Wow. Same, 'cept they bite the shit out of me. (also I'm less stressed)
So not the same. Just anemia and low body temp.
Mosquitos bite everyone in Maine. EVERYONE!!! It's the way life should be!

Same here, earlier this summer was horrible but it's slowed down a little recently, probably due to the weather changing. There have been plenty of time when I'm getting attacked nonstop and come home with a million bites and meanwhile the people I was with weren't even touched :sad:

We have no mosquitos here, except around the golf courses. We have lots of West Nile, but only among golfers, so no great loss.
Everywhere else, it's too dry, and all you have to worry about are:
Tarantulas
Every other poisonous spider on Earth
Killer bees
Scorpions
20 different poisonous snakes
Poisonous lizards
Javelinas
Meth freaks

The Cardinals eliminate themselves.
Plus, that's Phoenix, which has been nominated as "The City Most Likely to Actually Be HELL", and that's just another punishment for doomed souls.

Figured as much. The last city I lived in was Chicago, and we all know about the Bears.
That clinches it: THE SWAMP YANKEES MUST TAKE A STAND AND REPEL THE FORCES OF TGRR, FOR THE SAKE OF OUR SPORTS TEAMS!
