UPDATE<\/u>:<\/strong> Eric is very very sick and cannot post so we launched “Celebrity Guest Blogger Weekend”. Ladies and gentlemen… Mr. George Carlin!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Hey there…<\/p>\n

While Eric’s blowing globs of snot all over his co-workers, he asked me to fill in until he gets better. So I’ll take a crack at blogging that you kids are all crazy about.<\/p>\n

I wanna talk about something here, something real important.<\/p>\n

No it’s not about Ashcroft taking our civil rights and flushing them down the crapper; Or that moron we have in the White House trying to start the Cold War back up.<\/p>\n

This is far more important… FLU SHOTS.<\/p>\n

Yeah, yeah… “come on everybody, get your flu shots! Wooohoo Laaaa\u00e2\u20ac\u201cdee\u00e2\u20ac\u201cdaa.”<\/p>\n

ARE YOU PEOPLE FUCKING INSANE?????<\/p>\n

They inject influenza into you!!! They add a few other additives an preservatives in it to help you develop an immunity to the flu…<\/p>\n

BUT THEY GIVE YOU THE FRIGGIN FLU!!!!!<\/p>\n

Some Moron: “We’ll yeah. Sure I’m in my bed writhing in agony for a few days, praying for the reaper to put me out of my misery… but hey, I won’t get the flu all winter long now!!! Yuk! Yuk!”<\/p>\n

Me: “What if you weren’t going to get the flu this winter to begin with?”<\/p>\n

Some Moron: “Uhhhh…. I didn’t think of that.”<\/p>\n

Can someone… ANYONE please explain this concept to me? Me? I’ll just buy a heavy coat and a hat this winter. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

Can’t wait ’till they get these rocket scientists to try the “Ebola Shot”.<\/p>\n
